Avoid!

This was my first visit to this 'restaurant' and it will be the last. The menu is extremely limited and I struggled to find anything remotely acceptable to my tastes. I only stayed as I was with a party of friends for a pre-Christmas meet-up. What I ended up with was tasteless and forgettable. Friends who shared the £30 paella received a not-exactly-large pan of rice with a (very) few pieces of protein on the top. Overpriced and over-rated. No wonder it was empty.

The worse service I have ever experienced

We have tried this restaurant before and it was lovely but will not be returning.
A waitress noticed we had been given some of our food and told our waitress we didn't have a plate or knife and fork to which she just shrugged and carried o with other tables we didnt see her again at our table. I then had to ask another waiter for the cutlery and plates. By the time we started eating the food was freezing. We ate whay we could of the bread potatoes and mushrooms before the meatballs arrived. The 2nd meat dish didn't arrive. When it came to the bill I told the waiter we had a meal missing but he still bought the receipt which included the missing dish. I asked to see the manager who didn't come instead the waiter took off 5 pound. There was a service charge added to the bill which was not deserved. We spent 43 pound and walked away hungry Awful service. Another customer had oil spilt on her coat by the waiter she asked for a cloth and he walked past me giggling and making funny noises.

Avoid Avoid Avoid.

After spending £68.91 on tapas we felt let down due to the size of the portions at £18 for 3 portions.
Half the items weren’t on the menu to choose from.
They charge £6.50 for a larger.
Then they don’t inform you that they have put a service charge on the bill for £7.66. The service charge is 12.51% they are breaking the law by not informing you.

They clear your table while someone is still eating we can now understand why it’s so empty even though other places are full.

Would I use them again NEVER.

The food & service are EXEMPLARY

*Brighton Branch*
The food is exquisite - every time. Last time we went, I reckon the chef had changed as the menu was the same, but the dishes seemed just a SLIGHTLY bit different - and in a good way. I didn't think it could improve, but it did!
AND THE STAFF!! All fantastic. A couple of absolute stand-outs, but all fantastically friendly and efficient.
I recommend them to everyone and will go again myself at the drop of a hat.
Recommendations: We always go for the small plates (given the name of the place!). Love them all, but highlights are definitely the Pork Belly, Broccolini and the Aubergine Fingers.

Hide and seek at B'ham branch

Arroz Polio Con Chorizo £9.95 was mainly a plate of matted rice. Served with a smile though.
The four chicken pieces were each the size of a small finger nail. The two pieces of Chorizo were hiding underneath 8 pieces of rice. One pint of beer £6.50 !!!! Didn't have time to complain as had a train to catch

Meet & Greet was good...explaining the lunch time offer was good.....taking the order based on that info was good
The Bill was a nightmare...should have been 2 lunch specials =21.90 + 2 soft drinks on the lunch offer £4 + £4 bavas+ £6.25 Con Choc Dessert = £32.19
Bill nearly £39 spoke to manager who blamed a staff error on drinks & then charged us 12.5% service charge
It's a joke won't eat there again and the service charge is less than good & not given an option
Such a shame as we enjoyedthe food

Avoid at all costs

This was the second time we have visited this restaurant at Bluewater. First time the food was great, just we had to sit next to the bins, where waitresses constantly emptied dirty plates into the bins. It was disgusting.
Yesterday we have ordered 2 paellas, this time sitting further from the bins hoping for good food. The rice was dry, with a couple of seafood bits on the top. It wasn't a paella; it was a leftover for a dog.

Hugely Disappointing

Have been to Tapas Revolution in Bath many times before, and expected the usual lovely food when we went again on June 24th but it has gone massively downhill. Whilst the service was very good the food was not. The Patatas Bravas had no sauce, just a bit of Alioli over them, so very dry. The Marinara Frutera was dry and bland and tasteless with poor quality fish, overcooked squid and bone dry prawns. The chorizo was dry and burnt and the Croquetas Jamon dry, overcooked and tasteless with hardly any ham in them. Hugely disappointed, especially as they used to be so good. Won’t be going back any time soon!

Visited Grand Central Birmingham restaurant today with 2 friends.
Was seated immediately by a very pleasant young lady and then left sitting for 20 minutes with nobody taking our order or even asking us if we wanted drinks.
We all walked out explaining to a lady wearing a red jacket who looked like a deer in headlights and not having a clue what she was doing who we presumed was the manager solely because of the red jacket.
When you’re asking for £18.95 for 3 tapas and £5.95 for a beer one expects at the very least good customer service,we received none.
1 star for the young lady meeting and greeting

Nice food,poor customer service

Visited this restaurant in Birmingham Grand Central over bank holiday. We have been before and was looking forward to it. It was very busy but we asked for a table for 2 and the female waitress said they could fit us in.....great! On our way to the table the waitress was stopped by a female who I presume was the manager. This woman then proceeded to berate the waitress in front of us and the other customers saying they were already busy etc etc. to the point where we just turned around and left.
That is not the way to treat your staff especially in front of a busy restaurant. Poor show and poor customer service. Just lost a regular customer!

we went to tapas revolution Liverpool tonight 22\12\21 and ordered the 3 for £18 tapas x 2. On being giving the menu we were asked if we would like a drink. i ordered a pint of lager and my partner said we,ll have a bottle of house wine. The food was nice and the wine was palatable, My partner had a sweet and we ordered 2 brandies. The waitress said they don,t have any brandy which we found strange. However, the lad behind the bar stated that they had a delivery this week. He then came over to our table to say the reason they never had brandy was because of covid and the owners would only allow authentic Spanish brandy to be sold. When we got home and my partner looked at the bill we had been charged £30.95 for a bottle of Rioja. We asked for house red. We had also been charged £7 each for a brandy. Now I,m not a brandy Connaisseur but have lived in Spain for 5 years and the Spanish brandy is as cheap as chips, £8 a litre retail so how they can charge £7 a shot for "authentic Spanish brandy" is beyond me. So all in all, we should have been offered the wine list instead of them sticking the expensive wine on the table only to find out later we,d been had. Plus if they are going to put expensive wine on the table at least train the staff on how to serve it. The waiter let my partner taste it then stuck the cork back in and left the wine on the table, a complete no no to even the most novice of wine lovers. We don,t mind paying for what we have had. But we do mind paying for what we think we have ordered. Feel ripped off and won,t recommend. Also on leaving a £5 tip, we later realised they had taken a service charge of £10 which we were not informed about.

So disappointed

I have been a long standing customer of Tapas revolution and have always enjoyed visiting. However, the last three visits, since the new menu, have been very disappointing. The standard of food has noticeably gone downhill, in terms of quality of ingredients and taste. The staff continue to do their best but unless the food improves back to previous standards they have lost me as a customer.

We have tapas regularly in Liverpool

We have tapas regularly in Liverpool. if we get 5 tapas and bread with wine and maybe a beer, we pay £45-60 depending on what we order. Here we had a beer, a cider, bottle of rioja 5 tapas 1 bread (no king prawns etc) the bill was over £90. The food was nice, the server was pleasant but we won't return. There are cheaper tapas bars, where the food is equally as nice.

Service poor

Service poor, food okay-ish, value for money diabolical. Charged for items they'd forgotten to serve.Would I come back... no. Would I recommend? Maybe to my worse enemy.

I went with my 13 month old son to Meadowhall Sheffield, the server was quick to say "we have no tables" i said that's ok i'll wait, 5 minutes later 3 people walk in and was sat straight away, this is a classic case of discrimination on people with a child. After i explained i wasn't happy the server said you can leave if you like. I will never visit this place again.
