Food Quality
Pros:
"The food was undeniably delicious, it was from the regular menu and didn't involve any special preparation."
"The portion of food was small, but the tartar sauce and chilli one were good."
"The food was fantastic apart from the paella which tasted very similar to Uncle Ben's rice."
"The only thing we liked were the olives and the garlic dip that comes with the bread."
"Nice atmosphere, good tasty food overall with a selection of side dishes."
"The food was, and always has been, outstanding."
"Out of this world food. Just wow! Absolutely huge portions."
"Great food, shocking service. Took over 30mins for our drink order to be taken and then a further 20 minutes for the drinks to arrive."
Cons:
"No taste at all… we ordered gambas al pil pil it is supposed to be cooked with garlic and the flavor was completely nil…"
"The food took quite a while to be prepared."
"Food wasn't that fresh (temperatures were hot in the middle and warm at best on the outside)."
"The food are not good, we expected the Spanish cuisine we can tried it here as we really longing for it but we are so disappointed."
"The tapas were okay but dear oh dear the paella Valencia was awful! At one penny under £16 I was expecting something a bit special."
"I am here now. I have waited for an hour for my starter and its now 1.5 hrs in and my main course is still going to be an hour away."
"Food was average and lacked seasoning, scallops were rubbery and tasted fishy not as a scallop should."

Service
Pros:
"The service was pleasant, but something felt off as we left the restaurant."
"The service was below expectation especially considering how quiet it was in there at the time."
"Staff were nice. I was there around 6 pm, so the restaurant was not busy and we wait few minutes to get our table."
"We went on a weekday evening when it was pretty quiet in there."
"Just as we’ve seen with the user feedback we get from our customers, there’s a tendency for users to review a negative experience rather than a positive one."
"Helpful staff from the start too, we arrived with our baby in a buggy and they put up an extra umbrella for us too."
"10/10 tapas! Four of us had lunch we all opted for the three tapas dishes and dessert."
"The owner and manager are Spanish so you know you are going to get proper authentic home cooked Spanish food."
Cons:
"I simply cannot fault anything and that is something really unusual these days."
"We weren't given the option to order another drink (having had an empty glass from just after the food arriving) nor were we given the option to order anything else."
"Really disappointing visit, mostly down to the absolute shambles of service."
"Ordered food, waiting a long time and then they forgot to bring dishes, had to ask, then again - long wait between."
"Following this, daughter didn’t manage to eat her food and asked to take away yet they disposed of despite asking and being told we could have that packaged up."
"Booked a table of 8. Myself and partner came before the rest for early drinks (we explained this to the waiter)."
"It was a very good experience. The food and the service was awesome and environment was friendly too."
"1st visit and will definitely be going back. Pleasant staff. Tapas very good, good-size portions."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"It's a nice restaurant and I went for lunch with my colleagues."
"Nice atmosphere although not as cosy as it could be temperature wise (perhaps the size of the restaurant)."
"This place really is great. Nice food, great service and the atmosphere is cosy."
"Lovely Tapas restaurant set within the port Solent marina. Serving delicious food and a great choice of wine and cocktails."
"We had just popped in to have a cold drink and maybe some tapas, nothing more. Just a whim."
"Me and my partner went there for a date night this weekend and we thoroughly enjoyed the food and service."
"Had an unfortunately disappointing experience at this place.. Came in for dinner before our film, thought 2 hours plenty to eat and have a drink."
"Its been a long long time since I waited for a good seafood paella 🥘 so yummy and 2 person can eat the one dish very big portion and so delicious."
Cons:
"The atmosphere was dead. Your staff seemed very uninterested and not trained to a decent standard."
"I really enjoyed spending Friday afternoon at La Casa Flamenca, Port Solent."
"Very poor experience unfortunately. Lovely location but rude staff and no food after 1 hour 30 mins was disappointing."
"Orderd from here based off of the good reviews. Took over 2 hours to arrive."
"I am here now. I have waited for an hour for my starter and its now 1.5 hrs in and my main course is still going to be an hour away."
"Paella was on the menu for £17.95, we were charged £35.90, when I questioned the pricing one of the waitresses told me that the pricing had gone up and menus had not been updated."
"Nice restaurant shame about the food can’t even do patatas bravas properly no Serrano ham on the menu could not believe it small portions and pricey nothing like a Spanish restaurant."
"I made a mistake of ordering from them through UBER Eats and it arrived 45 minutes late."
