Pico Bar & Grill

I ordered two dishes. One for lamb and another for sausage pizza. Lamb tastes good but too much salt on pizza and I finished only half. The price is ok in London center but not advantaging any price-​performance position.

Came here with our family as a recommendation by the owner of the place we were staying at. We looked up reviews and saw that people mainly said great food, but bad service, so we kind of knew what to expect.
When we arrived, the waiter seated us quickly and the restaurant wasn’t full except in the front where people were enjoying drinks. We received our menus and were ready to order, so we called our waiter over. He started with drinks, but since we had 2 babies with us, we decided to decline drinks. He seemed annoyed, but cleared all the glasses except the water ones.
Then he left for a bit and came back and asked if we wanted bread. We said yes without realizing it would cost 1 pound each. We didn’t complain, but it was a little strange when he dropped off 2 loaves of cold sliced bread with a side of butter and whole olives and then proceeded to leave again without taking our order.
There were 5 service people standing by the kitchen chatting, so we called our waiter over again and he told us to wait and then came over. We asked to split the check 3 ways, he asked the manager and then came back and said we couldn’t. No reason why.
We proceeded with our orders, descriptions are next to them…
Grilled Cod (salty)
Poached Cod (Salty, but cooked well. Lots of bones.)
Pork Special (over cooked, needed a steak knife)
Chicken Special (dry. The waiter didn’t even know that there was a chicken special until we pointed to the sign.)
Beef cubed dish (dry)
All the food wasn’t very good. Plus for ambiance and food selection. Maybe we picked all the wrong things?

Good value tapas place in Vauxhall. Not too many places to dine in this area so a good place if you live in the area and looking for a last minute meal.

This place is great!
Good quality food and full of Portuguese tucking into their grub. The location isn’t the best, and is a little difficult to find, esp. in the dark! Don’t let that stop you from visiting the railway arch restaurant… I went there with two friends and ordered 7 tapas, there was so much food on each tapas plate, we couldn’t finish the food.
The restaurant is large and you can hear the trains overhead, which is part of the atmosphere I guess…

OK — the location is in a row of Gay Bars, The atmosphere is less than exciting, the rumble of passing trains over head is a bit strange to get use to, the menu has everything form Steaks, fish, pizzas to tapas. but I love it. The Pizza’s are great (you can share) and the fillet steak is the best I have had in London. And the greatest thing is you can always get a table (as it is so large) and it is very reasonable. I don’t recommend the desserts as you will have holiday flash backs to your cheap package trip to the El Garve. If you love Portuguese, this is by far the best Portuguese in South London.
