Went with a group of 6 for some Friday night tapas. Got seated without a booking just after 5 in the downstairs bar.
Food was spot on, the only small criticism would be the small menu. Don’t particularly need 3 variations of patatas bravas.
Kept the dishes coming and we worked our way through a few bottles of wine for a great time.
Would recommend 👍
Loved the tapas really tasty for lunch. All the dishes were done really well. Even to toast/ chargrill the bread to perfection to dip in the garlic prawns. Definitely a place to go back to. Has a rooftop terrace could be nice on a warm day.
My husband and I visited this weekend on a recommendation from a friend. Thank god we went! It was gorgeous! Food was 10/10, best tapas I’ve had outside of Spain, would recommend the puntillitas fritas y safran- loved the saffron tartare sauce- the patatas Bravas Sol y sombre, just gorgeous!
The atmosphere was fabulous, the weather was brilliant and we sat on the terrace with a glass on sangria, it was just lovely. The service was spot on and staff were lovely and friendly.
We can’t wait to visit again. Deffo a brilliant place if you like good food and wine!
Great little place tucked away off little stonegate. Difficult to find at first as 2 sets of stairs lead to it from different businesses below. Great friendly staff. Drink/eat inside or out, with heaters to control if it gets cold (watch out if you have a bald head!).
A definite return....
Extensive tapas menu, so many great quality options to pick from. Bartenders even take cocktail requests which is a bonus! Thanks to our lovely waitress (recently returned to this restaurant) she made our visit better!
Gorgeous Tapas. Its a bit more expensive than some restaurants but worth it. Also the wine and gins were really nice and the staff were very pleasant and helpful xx
Ordered quite a few dishes from this place. All were amazingly delicious. The olives and sizzling shrimp were particularly my favorite. Pages of libations available to suit your fancy. Charming rooftop seating. Impeccable service! Loved it!
Well well… After looking around for some time for a 30th birthday venue (we wanted a smart casual dinner and dance vibe) Sotanos was the winning candidate. The staff were a dream, the lady who was working security on the door was an absolute legend and the most friendly person we have spoken too in ages. If anyone says all bouncers have bad reps, well they need to have a coffee with this lady!
The lads upstairs tending the bar were really nice (great taste in music) as were the staff who catered the food. There was no problems coming a bit earlier to hang up balloons and lay out cakes, while at the end of the night the staff kindly wrapped up all the leftover food while everyone was having a dance downstairs so we didn’t even need to worry about that - perfect for a hangover leftover breakfast. Really impressed 👏

Had an amazing evening here on Saturday during a weekend stay in York. The food, atmosphere and service were all brilliant. Had a couple of minor hiccups with our food but nothing that would stop us going back and the waiter went above and beyond to make sure it was remedied. Couldn't ask for more. Dear management: unfortunately I didn't catch the guys name but the tall dark haired waiter who looked after us is a credit to you.
Great spot for a drink and a private chat. Music isn't loud and it's usually old-school hip hop and funk / soul. Staff are really friendly. I love this bar.
