Zoilo (Marylebone)

• The great thing about Zoilo is for the quality of the food you get
• The prices are very attractive
• The staff here are extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the menu
• They know how every item on your plate is cooked and also have a good understanding of their wine list
• We started our sharing plate journey with a ricotta gnocchi
• Then I realised it was probably from the migration of Italians in the 17th century to Argentina
• The gnocchi was slightly softer then I'm used to having it
• The pumpkin was flavourful and soft while the rich sage butter brought the whole dish together
• With honey infused with oregano and almonds served in a small iron pan
• To me the cheese was immensely overpowering and the flavour so strong it was causing slight pain to my mouth
• The pigs head however was rather good&hellip
• Tender savoury inside and the quince sauce was sweet and citrus
• Flank steak with bone marrow sauce
• Full of flavour compliments by the rich bone marrow sauce and celeriac puree is delicious and you can&rsquo
• T go wrong with thyme and steak&hellip
• The other main was caramelised pork belly with prawns and chorizo
• Savoury and sweet but was abit too fatty and the prawns was sweet and still crisp
• I think its too heavy and the sugar crystal was too burnt that it made the whole thing bitter but the ice cream was nice
• I would sure return for the steaks as I think thats the best they offer and chips is just awesome
• Kitchen downstairs with another dining room
• Went back for pre dinner and drinks anither time and i was packed upstairs
• Sweetbread were too fat and grilled yo mu liking
• Special mention for the lunch menu at 10 pounds with glass of wine
• Worth a visit if you are close by (oxford st a min away)
• To the actual food which is just brilliant and the set up and atmosphere of the place as well as impeccable service
• The cool thing is that what you are facing is not a bar but instead the open kitchen of the restaurant
• The owner of the restaurant is also the chef which is more often than not a winning combination to have
• In this case it is not any different either
• Apart from the steaks (which are 300g each) the rest of the menu is small plates which are ideal to share 2 4 per person
• All the dishes we tried were great but of particular note was the lamb &
• The chimichurri burger both of those dishes are real winners and must haves
• The cocktail menu is also really nice and reasonably priced
• There is of course a whole range of Argentenian wine to go along with all the food
• The London food scene is bursting with Latin American flavours this year
• We are spoilt for choice with some fantastic dining options
• Is exactly why I was quite surprised when my friend
• Just one look at the menu was enough to convince me that Zoilo was going to be a very special meal
• Grilled provolone cheese with toasted almonds and honey
• Another Zoilo favourite with an Italian influence
• Broad bean and ricotta ravioli with summer mushrooms and parmesan
• Definitely one of the best desserts I have had in a long time and a perfect end to our Argentine feast
• Our waiter was very helpful and polite
• Opened in late 2012 and offers subtler fare than the steaks that many people associate with Argentinian food
• The upstairs has a bar with counter seating and a few tables
• Downstairs there is an open kitchen
• The head chef is actually Tara Sobott
• The fairly short wine list was almost entirely Argentinian
• Additionally there were diced red and green bell peppers and a hint of curry powder
• Though to my taste this was a bit too subtle
• The pastry had good texture with a filling that was pleasantly hearty
• 5.95) was a chicken roll with quail egg and peas
• The chicken is cooked sous vide for 25 minutes
• Pork belly and chorizo was a rather mixed affair
• Not too fatty and working well with the chorizo
• The prawns were slightly overcooked (13/20
• Had a nicely gratinated cheese topping and layers of potatoes with firm texture
• Interleaved with artichoke puree and was well seasoned (14/20)
• I finished with Musetti coffee (£
• Service from my waiter/bartender was friendly and helpful
• 33.75 for lunch with water to drink
• The steaks were more of a disappointment
• Maybe they are not bothered about repeat custom
• Unlike a few weeks ago when I popped along to The Balcon this was a Friday date night with the BF
• When it's cloudy and grey a rooftop bar and cocktails is not a good idea
• You walk into a beautiful bar with a warm atmosphere
• Red wine lovers are truly spoilt
• The flavours were amazing and the pastry tasted just as fab as it looks
• When this dish arrived I was amazed by the colours
• The pork belly was so so divine
• Definitely one of the best pieces of pork I have had this year
• To sum up Zoilo it is Argentinian Tapas
• The service was excellent and the food was amazing
• Any doubts I had were pushed aside by the friendly welcome from the staff and we were invited to take our pick of seats
• We opted to perch ourselves at the bar counter and soon found ourselves in a discussion about Argentinean wines with the bar manager
• We started with some empanadas &ndash
• One spiced beef and the other spinach with raisins and pine nuts
• The empanadas were decent but rather forgettable to be honest
• We also had Provoleta a type of salty cheese melted with almonds and honey
• What stood out for me were the main dishes
• Flank steak with bone marrow and a celeriac mash
• The steak was cooked perfectly pink with hint of red and the bone marrow just intensified the flavour stunningly
• The Morcilla with Criolla was amazing as well
• Grilled Spanish Black pudding garnished with thinly sliced scallions
• Next was the Grilled Octopus which got rather side lined by the gorgeous potato and leeks salad it was served with
• The star of the show was the dessert &ndash
• The funny thing was despite being the only ones in the restaurant
• The bar manager was telling us where he was from in Argentina and drawing us maps of the Salta and Mendoza wine regions
• The waitress was chatting to my companion in Spanish
• The chefs who were working downstairs would pop in and out to pick up and always have a friendly smile
• The entire dining experience was so pleasant and relaxed &ndash
• I believe they are much busier in the evenings but on a lazy Sunday afternoon
• ) Inside is a perfectly good restaurant with lovely staff who serve up gorgeous plates of Argentinean food
• So we ordered some but were actually disappointing
• We also tried some steaks which were a disappointment as well
• I recently tried Zoilo (Marylebone) for an Argentine outing and it was quite a lovely experience
• The food was excellent and was perfectly cooked
• The service was pretty decent as well
• The food was just fine but the steaks were not cooked perfectly which did let us down
• Cocktails were okay but the wine was quite good and was quite expensive as well
• The service was slow and the staff was not that attentive and thus
• I'm a foodie and like trying a variety of things so the tapas style menu was perfect for me
• The staff too was very attentive just as I like
• Zoilo (Marylebone) is situated a little obscurely behind a very well known establishment
• The prices are quite reasonable
• The flavours are unbeatable
• There is limited choice for anybody who is vegetarian or is watching their weight
• Every option on the menu is worth trying
• Suited only for those who are looking for a quick bite
• It is not the best place for those with a bigger appetite
• The places is really popular and much heard about
• The place serves Argentinian food that is tapas style and I had a wonderful experience dining at this restaurant
• The food was very well prepared and was absolutely delicious
• All the dishes were delectable and full of flavor
• The ambiance is also great and quite charming
• The service is swift and the servers are friendly
• The prices are reasonable
• Both the bar and the fine dining are is beautiful
• The service is a major lag here
• Throughout our meal it was difficult to get in touch with the staff
• The food as well as the wine was good though
• Zoilo (Marylebone) is a happy surprise as the food was delicious
• They have an extensive wine menu and the signature food dishes are delectable
• The drinks were superb too
• The prices were reasonable
• The ambiance is fun and lively
• I was in the mood to catch up with one of my friends the other day and I went to this perfect place
• Everything from the ambience to the food to the service was just amazing
• The server helped me with the selection of wine and the starter that he made me try was one of the bests that I have ever had
• The food is delicious and the service is always faultless
• All of them are brilliantly prepared as well
• All the dishes were beautifully presented and appealing and appetizing
• Service as well was quite efficient and attentive
• The cocktails here are average at best though
• The service is only tolerable
• The service was impeccable
• The main dishes are a great deal for money
• The prices are reasonable too
• The immediate problem that strikes me with Zoilo is that even though it establishes itself as Argentine cuisine
• It probably lies between being british and spanish (yes even though most Argentine cuisine is european) without the South american flare one would expect
• For diners looking for something more in line with Asado or stews like ioco
• Don't get me wrong but Zoilo is still a great little restaurant
• The restaurant has a minimalist vibe but the seats are tightly packed
• The staff are friendly but the waiter that served me was a bit hesitant
• I feel the food is generally good but not outstanding
• More disappointing was the fact most of the food were small proportions but without much other qualities that would have distinguished it from other cuisines
• To start off was the house bread which were cold like the ones from France and was stiffer than one would like
• The beef was very succulent like casserole stew beef with some nice subtle finishing
• The ceviche was solid but I thought it needed a bit more acidity to round off the sea bass
• I really liked the provenzal chips which was a great side dish
• The latter was just a salt fest with little flavour except for the sauce on the side
• The croquette was also fried too long because it was dry and could see it starting to get burnt
• Wort of all was the sirloin steak we ordered which would set you back around 24 quids
• There was minimal flavour to it and if compared to other eatery was a major letdown
• The food service times were also longer considering it was not a full house
• The menu is not too long (how is has to be) and the dishes sounds one better than each other
• Even this one was perfectly realised
• Nice balance of flavours with a Banana and Chocolate Chip ice Cream
• Inside it has a very intimate vibe with a main bar counter on both floors to sit up at
• What I loved about tonight was that we weren&rsquo
• A friend and I decided to have a last minute lunch and we were absolutely blown away by this little hole in the wall
• The service was attentive without being too much
• Ever think you are just going out for a regular dinner and then end up being completely wowed
• We shared a carafe of sauvignon blanc that was slightly sweet and perfectly dry that goes nicely with the tapas
• Zoilo is great for a relaxed dinner with friends and for larger groups in their private dining room
• The presentation of the dishes is meticulous
