La Regata - Southampton

I usually give this restaurant a 5-star rating, but on Father's Day last Sunday, I felt like the chef may have had the day off. The service was a bit slow and I was slightly disappointed with the bread and olives. The olives were tasty, but the bread should have come with butter or oil, as it was too plain on its own. I'm sure they could do better in that department. The pulpo a la gallega, padrón peppers, albóndigas, cheek pork, crackling pork belly, patatas bravas, prawns, aubergines, and white asparagus were all delicious. I love having tapas with friends because you get to try a little bit of everything. La Regata also has a great space upstairs for large parties and a good selection of wines. I will definitely be back for more, but perhaps not on Sundays.

We where there with a bunch of friend. As we stayed just around the corner it’s been conveniently for us. Very good food, authentic Spanish food, we felt like we where in Spain not uk. I am sorry that I didn’t get any of the names of the staff but keep your employees happy because the provide a good service

Such a beautiful restaurant, authentic tapas, and wonderful atmosphere. Great convenient location, just a stones throw from West Quay. The food was amazing and the staff are warm and attentive. Even with a slight mistake in nearly delivering the wrong dessert for a little one, they were quick to have it sorted and happiness was restored. Definitely be back again.

Initially I was very impressed as they allowed us to come in last min on Friday night 10 pm the kitchen waited I was informed we ordered steak £29 and bottle of wine starter was a board with what’s meant to be quality Ham What looked like children plates small blue plates were brought to us and It was was terribly presented Fried round pieces of potatoes , carrots x 2 sticks £150 for 3 people I didn’t want to give a tip out of principle Felt like a con

Impeccable food, service and experience. The staff gave good advice on wine ordering and offered free taste. We will definitely visit again and again!
