*ALLERGEN WARNING*
To preface, I have been here a few times before, and have previously recommended it to all my friends, and would have given it 5 stars then.
My recent experience at Sol y Sombra left a lot to be desired.
Both on my reservation, and when ordering I told them about my allergies, however they still brought me dishes with those allergens visibly present. When I pointed this out, I was questioned if I have even told the wait staff about this allergy. My bill and the reservation show I did. The dish was then taken away, and when I asked if the other dishes were safe since they were served, and potentially cooked, right next to the allergen containing dish, I was told they 'should be fine'.
Other issues:
I ordered the same wine twice, and the second time I ordered it the white wine came out red. After the second course, all of our plates were taken and put table was cleared, which we thought meant our service was over, at which point we asked for the bill, got asked to leave a tip, and got ready to leave. Then more food was brought out to us? With no plates or cutlery to eat it with. Later, we then asked for a box to take the food away with, and had all our cutlery taken and plates taken again, so we just had to slide our food off the serving plates into the box.
Also, the men's bathroom has no toilet roll holder and instead the toilet paper is kept of a shelf that is sloped, about to fall off the wall, straight towards the toilet.
Food has reduced in quality since I first went, really disappointing meal and service with a previous local favourite.

First time back since the restaurant has changed hands.
We booked for a Tuesday and it was half price Tuesday. Yeehaa.
The food was great, especially the meat skewers. Around 10 different dishes were served to us.
We would recommend especially the Tuesday sitting as it was great value.
A few beers and sangria and food all for £48
No photos this visit as we were too busy chatting.

Absolutely delicious Tapas, every single one! And you get plenty.
I came here with a friend on Tuesday, when it is half price, and I couldn't believe the amount, quality and variety of Tapas we got served.
Amazing value!
And the staff are lovely, too.
Highly recommended!

WOW We visited today for my birthday and had the set menu which is a case of tell us anything you dislike and we will feed you. A very clever concept of eating a blind menu and what a treat. Every dish packed full of flavour with fresh ingredients presented beautifully. The setting is stunning the service is stunning the food is stunning and for 10 courses each including 4 drinks was a stunning price of £51. This is a hidden gem in a lovely part of the world and blew me away on every level. This is Spanish Tapas at a different level. Thanks to all the staff.

Had tapas there earlier this evening. Was very impressed with Jasmine and Josh who waited our table. Their pleasant manner, knowledge of the ingredients of the food served and their unobtrusive but friendly manner made our visit really enjoyable. The food was fabulous, my friend had the vegan menu and her words were ?outstanding?! We were encouraged to head downstairs for our coffee at the bar for the ambience and it finished the evening off just perfectly. Hats off to Jasmine and Josh who made us feel very welcome and looked after us so well. Five star for staff and food!

Me and my friends had an amazing time at Sol y Sombra last Saturday. The food was great. Unfortunately, the chicken in one of our kebabs was raw. The waiter promptly took this back and provided us with another round of the same dish (we ended up having x2 the amount of kebabs). The waiter then insisted that the meal was *completely free* when come time to pay, due to the raw chicken. This shows they really care about their customer satisfaction and I am thoroughly impressed with the restaurant.
We proceeded with as hefty a tip they would accept, of course.

Excellent food..very tasty with good portion sizes, also caters for pescetarians, vegetarians and those with food intolerances..Sol y Sombra Tapas has an authentic feel with a relaxing vibe..the staff were friendly and attentive..I look forward to dining there again.

Really disappointed. Service very slow, food overcooked and bland. Portions small which on reflection didn?t matter as we left most of it.

This has been much recommended and I can see (and taste) why. Friendly staff, good service and excellent food at remarkably fair prices. Only downside was we were so full from the set tapas menu we didn't have space to try the puddings.
