We’ve been here before and loved it. The food is tasty and the service excellent, but the portions have been dramatically downsized. You needed a microscope to find the monkfish and the duck dish was a meagre spoonful. My Garden Of Eden cocktail was 90%...shrubbery and ice - very pretty but we absolutely cannot justify spending this much money on tiny food.More

Tapas restaurant with god selection located in the main high street a short walk from the station . Limited street parking. Excellent good , well presented and reasonable portions . The cocktails were a little over priced but all come with a theme which added...greatly to the evening and was fun. There is a bar where you can stains and window seats . It’s a little crammed but that not an issue . Very good for a night out with friends or as a coupleMore

Didn’t plan to eat here due to only just returning from Seville. On a weekend break to Tonbridge our thought was “it’s not going to match Spain”. How wrong we were! The food is fantastic, everything we ate had a little twist to the original...style of dish but definitely for the better. Prawns were gorgeous, patatas chorizo, bread and alioli was beautiful. As for the cocktails 😍 well….. let’s just say we’ll visit again in the summer to carry on where we left off.More

Great cocktails, great tapas and a great atmosphere! I visited with my partner and by the second cocktail we realised we had to try them all (didn’t quite make it this time but we’ll definitely be back to finish the job!). We were advised to...get about 3 different dishes each and it ended up being a great amount for two hungry people. The spinach balls, meatballs and cheesy garlic bread are all a must! Staff was very friendly and seemed to enjoy working there which made the experience for us.More

Having had a bad experience at an establishment in The Pantiles, we came across this great place which specialises in tapas. They kindly found us a table outside in the sun, despite the fact that they were very busy. We had a selection of five...dishes a glass of rose and a cocktail. The food was delicious and the service excellent and can thoroughly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. We had Rape En Jamon (pan fried monkfish wrapped in Serrano ham served with roasted peppers and caramelised onions). Calamares served with an aioli dip. Pelotas Verde (Spinach balls infused with cheese, garlic and chilli with coriander yogurt. Champinones Al Ajo (Button mushrooms in a garlic and white wine sauce) and Costilla de Cerdo (tender pork ribs marinated in peppercorns, mustard an chilli sauce. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointedMore

Picture this, me and my girlfriend went to celebrate the first Friday of September, a big deal I think we can all agree, by having a dinner booked for 8pm. Walked in, sat down, all good so far. Let me paint the scene. We sit...down, I am thirsty by this point, the pantiles is a hilly place! It took 40 minutes to get a drink order. 2,400 seconds. Appalling. After that I ordered tap water, another 1,200 seconds. By this point I was hungry, as I’m sure you can all agree. Order food. Not that he asked, but I have a severe, and I mean severe allergy to both penicillin and wasp stings. Whilst I’m sure these allergies won’t be in food (lol), it is still the principle of asking!! Despite this, after 90 minutes, a full football games worth of time, we finally got our food. Our food was good to be fair. But the service!!! The service! When I say I’ve seen horror movies worse. When paying, the only quick bit of the night, I was promptly shown the door with no thanks, no kind remarks, no eye contact, nothing but a sour taste in my mouth and as I said, not from the food, the food was good.More

The tapas was very bland. 3 dishes ordered & all had same bland tomato sauce over them. Not seasoned tasted straight from the tin. The tapas were also very small & expensive for what you get. The meat balls were like tiny marbles & you...only get 4 of them.More

This is a tapas and wine bar. We went for Saturday lunch, which was perhaps a mistake. Most of the dishes we ordered were good or excellent, though the Paellas did not please (we have spent 40 years travelling to and from the Valencia region...of Spain, and eat a lot of paella). They serve beer, wine, cocktails all of which individuals in our party ordered and all were good. Service was very good despite all the tables being taken. Apart from the paella: my grumbles are that the noise from the other diners was excessive. I could hardly speak to my wife on the other side of the table. I'm not sure that this is Soprano's fault. Additionally I felt that acknowledgement of our exstence as we left would have been appreciated. I also felt that it was a bit pricy for what we got.More

Lively bar with loud music and upbeat energy. We found the service a bit slow but it was fine. The food was really good, except for the Prawns which came out cold. Everything else was good, in particular the mushrooms, meatballs and the chicken skewers....Make sure you order bread though as its not offered complimentary and you'll definitely need it to mop up the tasty sauces. The cocktails looked amazing.More
