We went with a group of friends for a reunion dinner. Everything was amazing.The staff and atmosphere were brilliant. The Food was all authentic and outstanding.We go to Spain numerous times per year but this was as good if not better than anything we have had in Spain. Also the wines were all exceptional and were clearly sourced by the owners with local knowledge and contacts in Spain.This wasn't the typical chain or tied house selection but very good local producers.Can't recommend this restaurant too highly

We had such a lovely time here. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I'd say this is easily the best tapas I've ever had. It was hard to pick a favourite dish everything was excellent. Even the starter bread with homemade dips was exceptional. Must tries are the pork cheeks and octopus ceviche. The cheesecake is also so light and delicious, I've never had anything like it.

Have been visiting here for many years but due to Covid & then family illness tonight was my first visit for some time. I didn’t think it possible but if anything it’s improved! Wonderful atmosphere, Spanish guitar playing in the background, the buzz from other diners, efficient service and excellent authentic Spanish tapas.

This place was amazing up until dessert. Fantastic atmosphere. Live guitarist strumming away. Tapas were amazing, especially the artichoke, as one would expect from the eponymous restaurant. Cocktail was ok. Dessert was way off—this is going to sound weird say about fried bread, but the churros were heavy, dense, and way too oily. The portion was huge for a tapas place (8 churros to an order). I ate one. They had only a sprinkle of sugar, and stale oil from the pastry when I bit into it. I would expect churros to be fluffy in the middle with a crunchy crust. This was sadly not that. Most surprisingly, the staff didn’t ask why I left with 7 on the plate. Admittedly, I didn’t volunteer any feedback on the spot either, as they were very busy. This would be a 5* spot if not for the churros and unaware service at the end.

Tapa is one of those great rare finds that you just want to tell all of your friends about because it's so cool. Not only are Dan and Greg extremely enthusiastic and passionate about the community and food they serve, the atmosphere and vibe of tapa is perfection. With a carefully selected but plentiful menu there's something for everyone to share, or not share, with each other. Nice touches like an in house rum and beer that has been specifically paired for the food, with a gin apparently coming soon, and plenty of little extras to keep you feeling full. We ordered 2 from the meat section, 2 from the seafood, 2 from the vegetables and one meat platter for two people and were absolutely stuffed. We couldn't not go for some churros afterwards though. Thanks again to the whole team for an amazing night. Will definitely have to come back for the new weekly specials and the live music.

I went here ten years ago and they still do my favourite....the pigs cheeks and aubergine crisps. Absolutely stuffed and very reasonably priced.

Wow! I thought cafe andaluz was good but this place is amazing. The best tapas I may have ever had. The restaurant is very cute and in a good location near the shore. Highly recommend the chorizo and the patatas alioli. I will definitely return now I’ve tasted the good!

We were there for lunch and to our surprise they had a lunch deal where you get two tapas for 15 pounds + patatas bravas and padron pepers. The tapas were just amazing. Really great. Loved all of them. Get the pig shoulder tapas and gambas. They do 50% tapas on Thursdays. So do ask them about that. Book in advance. We were lucky and got a table but it was absolutely full by the time we were having our food.
