   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.

   We really enjoyed our meal. We love the set menu because we get to try so many things we maybe never would have chosen. Everything was fresh, light and delicious. The staff were all really friendly too. Definitely worth a trip.

    Food was plentiful and very tasty. We prefer the hot tapas so will stick with that next time. It was also discount tueaday which we didn’t realise so even better value.
