   Excellent food but extremely noisy for quite a lot of the evening. We were unlucky with our table, very close to the main food which slammed all night and right next to the waiting table which was very loud a few times. We used to eat at a Tapas in Edinburgh and were slightly surprised at the cost of the full tapas menu compared to similar in the city centre . Having said that the choice was great and the food was excellent and the staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. We will return but ask for an upstairs table 🤣

   I think the portion sizes are too small, if I went to a regular tapas restaurant I would have paid around £6/7 per dish, for the 6 dishes we received, one of which was just fried broccoli stems and another 2 chicken drumsticks, would have cost £30/£35. The set menu of 6 hot tapas dishes was £52. Previously when I went to sol y sombra a good few years ago you kept getting little dishes until you had enough to eat so I expected to be asked if we would like more but was not the case. A few fried broccoli stems to me is not a tapas dish and neither I would say is 2 plain chicken drumsticks. We did enjoy the food but probably wouldn’t return for evening dinner. I also tried the white sangria, there was no fruit in glass, and I’m sure I saw the waitress add white wine with lemonade which is definitely not a sangria, so a little disappointing as I was looking forward to something a bit different and it was pricey when you don’t get what you think you are going to get. The restaurant is beautiful and the atmosphere is perfect.

   Food was brilliant. First time I have been there and will be back in the future. Only thing I would recommend is reducing the price. The food was brilliant but would say it was slightly overpriced.

    A great tapas bar. A warm welcome with very friendly and helpful staff. The set menu was wonderful with a lot of variety and everything was very tasty.
