Nice atmosphere in bar area but we had to wait 45 minutes for our food to arrive. The tapas was okay but some dishes were not hot, in temperature, enough. Very poor selection of red wines.

Always a pleasant evening at tale of two. Very accommodating of individual needs (I’m an extremely fussy eater). I had seafood skewers and my friend had fillet surf and turf and we was both very happy with our meals! Cooked and presented beautifully and staff were friendly.

The view was perfect of the beach, the service was excellent but the burger meal stole the show. I've never had a burger taste soo fresh and with a perfect variety of toppings and the fries were not fries. The fries the best home cooked hand cut chips I've ever tasted, so much so that I was fending my family off with a fork. Simply outstanding meal!! Oh and this bad boy of a burger was only a tenner!!

Amazing evening! Good food, cocktails and service. Came in for a girls night and we will most definitely be returning. Unfortunately didn’t have any salmon for the seafood skewer but I was pleasantly surprised when I was offered a substitute of tuna steak 😊 it was fab!

We enjoyed the night, however, I did tell them the night was booked to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversary. This was not even mentioned at any point in the night! Other places I’ve been to have at least acknowledged it in some way when a special occasion has been mentioned. Quite disappointing really. Also, the steaks were over cooked and my partners sirloin steak was not a great cut of meat. Had £5 knocked off the bill for this. Wouldn’t rush back.

Food was lovely as always although the service was extremely slow it took 4 hours from start to finish and only managed to order two drinks in that time we was constantly trying to get the waitresses attention with no luck, just seemed understaffed in a busy restaurant

I wouldn't really class it as a "Tapas" more of a guess at how a Spaniard might cook it, and a bad guess at that. So overall a very long wait to receive tiny portions, the smallest mussels you will ever see, overcooked paella rice with additional broken shell included, an overcooked omelette with some sliced mushroom on top, gristle in the chorizo, patatas bravas made from new potatoes cut in half and then served with chorizo and chopped tomatoes! All in all an inept attempt at tapas and make matters worse we were never, at any point asked how the meal was (I guess they already knew) and then they tried to overcharge us at the end. Do yourselves a favour and find somewhere else to eat. We certainly won't be returning!

After asking for table numbers to be increased I was told we would have to attend at an earlier time and would only be able to keep the table for two hours which I said was fine. We arrived promptly as agreed and were shown to our table and orders taken. We then waited for a little over an hour for the food to arrive. Six people from the party of nine declined sweets as our two hours were almost over and felt pressured to leave, the waitress was a little off hand and uninterested. Food was ok but nothing special.

Lovely food as usual, was very busy due to being a bank holiday but food was prompt and still of the same great quality. Only reason I didn’t give a 6 was we requested a booth seat on our reservation and didn’t get one ☹️
