   You cannot go wrong with this restaurant. Right from the start the service you receive is brilliant and that sets the tone for you dining here. The food was exceptional. Having lived in Spain and knowing what Spanish tapas is like, I have to say their food was just as good maybe even better thans authentic spanish people. It is also great value for money which you can't say very often about many restaurants. The atmosphere was nice and chilled which led to a great afternoon of eating food. The young man who looked after from the start was excellent at his job, excellent customer service, he engaged with us which wad great to see and he didn't have to put on a professional act like in some restaurants. The young man was just himself, polite and great at his job. We will definitely be back again and will be recommending the restaurant to everyone we know. Thanks

   Arrived promptly for our booking then ignored by the staff for 30 mins, can’t comment on the food as due to poor level of service we paid for our drinks and left.

   So disappointed-I used to love Sol Y Sombra - we would go 2 or 3 times a year. I knew it was up for sale, but it is very obvious it has changed hands now. The set menu has significantly less variety and it’s really not that tasty - it was always so delicious . It is poor quality food now. They are just cutting corners - the price is still the same, but it is not the same experience. Such a shame, the new owners should have maintained the previous owners standards - I will not be back.

   Lovely food and lovely surroundings and ambience. Staff were very attentive and smiley. We went on a Tuesday so 2 for 1 but if had to pay full cost it’s a little bit pricey.
