We recommend the lemonade, the chorizo and the padron peppers. However, the sticky chicken was only average, but overall the experience was delightful. Me and my date had a lovely evening.

Good friendly service. Portion sizes for Tapas is the best around. Pleasant surroundings, like sitting al fresco in a Spanish town and a good atmosphere, although some Spanish / Latino background music would be even better!

First visit to Tapas Barcelona and I would definitely go back. Food was delicious and portion sizes were about perfect for Tapas dishes. I'd say you want 3/4 dishes per person if you like to eat. Lovely atmosphere in the restaurant and the staff were friendly and helpful. If you're in Southampton and want some Tapas give here a go.

Great food and atmosphere. 2 for 1 cocktails during the week which is a definite bonus. It's a lot bigger on the inside than the outside.

Very loud and very busy - good food and service, but if you are after a quiet night out maybe not for you! Great for cocktails and small plates

Very nice tapas, lovely flamenco night, thank you. Enjoyable time, good value for money, highly recommended. This was on Thursday night and that is the only reason the place was not entirely full.

Service was very bad. We had to wait very long time for a food and then somebody to clear our table and nobody even ask if we would like a desert menu, and I wanted a desert but didn't bother at the end as it's was quite late

We usually love dining here but unfortunately on this occasion the service was below par. We waited a very long time for drinks & found the staff to be too busy to assist. Its a shame as every other visit has been fantastic.

Great food, and good atmosphere. Definitely worthwhile booking on a Saturday evening, as it gets busy. But good service, and friendly staff. The tapas were fantastic.

Somewhat underwhelmed. Booked for early meal, table in a dark corner in an empty room at the back of the restaurant. The service was fairly slow and one of the courses was cold and fatty.

Overall excellent experience - lead waiter / host was fantastic and food scrummy. Only issue was the waiter who delivered the food was a little rude and one order was incorrect but this was rectified immediately with meal not charged for as there was no time to swap it as we were on a deadline for the theatre.

Service was terrible, put in the corner and ignored. We waited half an hour for a bottle of wine and had eaten all our food before it had arrived. We asked 3 times for it to be brought over and got told it was on the way. 3 of our dishes were forgotten and one was a completely didn't dish we did not order but we decided to have it because we were so hungry and just wanted to leave. We have been tapas Barcelona quite a few times and at the moment it's getting worse and worse.

Was a surprise birthday meal and table had not been set up, despite me coming down earlier in the day to drop off banner and confetti (with assurances it would be carried out). Put me in a difficult position as I then had to subtlety say to the waiter and he then came out with the banner only. I did not receive the table confetti back and couldn't ask for it as I didn't want my partner (whose birthday is was) to know that anything was amiss. Food was very good and waitresses nice. Waited ages to pay. All had our purses/cards out on the table ready. Numerous staff (including our waiter) casually walked past but seemed more interested in laughing and joking with the staff who had finished their shift and were hanging around at the bar. Not very satisfied which was a shame as previously we had a great time here.

Need a couple more waiters to cope. Waiting times for drinks were too long. But the staff as usual were lovely 😁 no complaints. X
