Very attentive and informed staff. Pork special was delicious. Only complaint was - ordered 3 cold meats for a starter but two of the main courses arrived before the entrees and rather than let it go cold we ended up eating our mains first. Was compensated at the end.

Lovely ambience, great tapas, great service! Clearly a high quality family operation. Iberico ham, patates Branas, octopus, mushrooms- everything was delicious! Recommended highly.

Sadly we went to Alba Flamenco expecting the restaurant to be there and were told it had moved. We met three other groups of people who’d done the same which means something is very wrong with the communications at La Sal. What a shame!

The service was the worst I have ever encountered. Staff were more interested in dealing with other tables and ignored our table. After a long wait for our order of a selection of tapas to be taken we only got 5 dishes when we ordered 7, when the staff were asked about this we were told that they serve up the last two dishes 40 after the first ones. The food was lovely though. We had to ask for the bill 4 times before anyone took action. Will not be returning there.

We've been to La Sal several times and enjoyed it, so we booked on line for last week. However, the restaurant has moved to Leith Walk and the place has been renamed El Bar. There was nothing to indicate this when we booked. The manager recognised us and kindly found us a table but we saw others being turned away. There is some new seating, reducing table space, and nearby customers were shouting. The food is still fine, but it wasn't a happy experience.

The food was good and once the order was taken the service was quick and efficient. The restaurant was very busy but I don't think the atmosphere is a good as the old place. The food is reasonably priced but the wine is expensive.

As quite a new venue there’s a few teething problems, but the staff are very friendly and quick to rectify any issues. The tapas dishes are fantastic and very reasonably priced, with a good selection of beers and wines it’s a great night out.

It was incredibly busy, being festival time, but the small number of staff cooed extremely professionally with the pressure of serving meals while dealing with a constant flow of people through the door looking for tables. Good food too!

I absolutely loved La Sal when I first visited them at their old venue but really wasn't enchanted with the new location and interior at all. Food (tapas)was quite alright overall but nothing like the paella we had last time. It's a shame I lost one of my favourite places. It's never easy to find a good Spanish restaurant outside Spain.

I preferred the laid back experience in Howden St, before this move to union St. That said the food was excellent the atmosphere more like a 10pm tapas bar in central Madrid

Our table was booked for 6pm. Despite our booking the staff weren't prepared to move the earlier diners off our table as that would be rude!! We left in disgust at 6.30pm as it was ok to be rude to us.....we were going to a show at 7.30pm and had to find a last minute table to eat elsewhere and it was a complete rush!

Amazing food, would surely visit for that. But the service was average at best. The first waitress who showed us our seats just left us there with no menus. We then walked up to the front to grab them ourselves and she didn't apologize or acknowledge the fact that we were basically serving ourselves. She was quickly replaced by a nice waiter though.
