Polpo (41 Beak Street, London, London, W1F 9SB) For me the menu was limited. Not sure whether it changes. The potato and parmesan croquettes were tasteless and very small. The Pizzetta Biance was simple but very tasty and the star of the show for me. We also had the calves liver which was good enough but not outstanding. The roast potatoes which were very crunch and really tasty but arrived at the table on their own. The Fennell, “bobby bean” and cob nut salad was disappointing – the “bobby beans” were simply green beans and there were very few of them. The place was very busy and had a good atmosphere and the staff were very pleasant and knowledgeable about the menu. The tapas style of service bringing dishes out when they were ready didn't work for me as the dishes didn't stand on their own and despite being the only diners when we arrived we still waited a long time for food to start arriving. I would try it again as it is right next to my office but it worked out more expensive than we would normally pay for a lunch and didn't feel that it was particularly good value for money.
