Esquina — Restaurant in Erewash

LOVE LOVE LO❤️E, this place. We’ve had Esquina on our list for a very long time and did not know what to expect. We looked at this and another restaurant but Esquina had the better menu, by far! 📃 Located in Sawley / Long Eaton area, on the corner, ironically. 😉 Parking was ample. Although they could do with some more lighting in the car park. We were greeted well on entrance and shown to our table. The restaurant has a nice vibe. Nothing too eccentric. Spanish mood. Table water is provided with drinks menu, standard menu and day menu. The menu is outstanding! The choices are divine. We found it so hard as to what to pick 😂. Eventually, we ordered our options. We were provided with bread and oil and humus dip. The dip needs to be sold on mass! You could eat it in spoonfuls lol. When our options came they were amazing! Every single one of them! The portion sizes were very generous. The taste of every option was just superb. We couldn’t find fault with any of them. The waitresses checked on us, as they did with everyone. Hard working staff made our experience more enjoyable. (Please feed this back to them). We were stuffed but creamed every plate, not to waste any. A thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyable experience. Then came the bill ! My word, it was amazing! I couldn’t believe the price of the bill. Our whole experience, we loved! Can’t wait to, and definitely will be returning soon. Thank you for our esquina...

Such a lovely restaurant, we had a fabulous afternoon here, taking advantage of the Three in the Afternoon offer that they have on a Saturday afternoon. Our party of four parked in the free car park behind the building and walked round to the entrance at the front, which takes you in to a really nice bar area. We were immediately shown to our table after having explained that, unfortunately, two of the people on our booking were unable to attend due to positive Covid tests that day, which the staff were kind and understanding about. Drinks speedily arrived after ordering, as did the food, which was all beautifully fresh. They serve a wide range of generously sized tapas dishes and everyone at our table loved all of their dishes- from a vegetarian’s point of view, I felt like the choices were really varied, beautifully cooked and delicious. My friend’s meat and seafood dishes looked equally amazing. Once we had stuffed ourselves, we sat and drank our drinks, ordered more and didn’t feel rushed to leave at all. The bill was a really pleasant surprise even though we knew the price of our offer… any extras we ordered (there were some we couldn’t resist!) were really reasonable. The staff were just lovely and really add to the whole experience. We will be back soon to try more dishes and would recommend Esquina as the best tapas restaurant in the area. Thank you again to all...

Booked a pre Christmas meal for my partner and I, never had tapas so a new experience for us both went well armed with cash looking forward to the experience. Arrived half an hour early although the table was ready we had a drink in the bar. First impressions was a it was a very nice place. Went to the table 15 mins early the waitress explained the tapas menu and took our order we ordered 6 dishes and some bread as a bit of a starter, so far so good. 55 mins to an hour later nothing not even the bread others that had been seated after us were tucking in to their food. After raising our concerns with a member of staff the girl who took our order came over and claimed the kitchen hadn't received our order. How ? Not a glitch in the system because everyone else were getting their orders. She said the order could be resent and the food would be out in 15 mins, 6 dishes in 15 mins obviously not prepared fresh to order. We didn't stay , they didn't ask us to pay for the drinks. Not a good experience very poor service and an hour or more of waiting around. We can't review the food because we never got any.We won't return. On the plus side we had a nice steak at the Harrington arms in Sawley with great service. We will get to try Tapas but not Esquina there is a new place in Long Eaton we will...
