Food was excellent, most of the servers were lovely and welcoming. One server let them down, a young woman who was instantly cold and rude, changing the tone of the entire evening and ruining an otherwise great experience.We very politely let her know they sent the wrong drink over and she instantly started lecturing us and telling us we ordered the wrong thing (we hadn’t). We then saw her eyeing us for the rest of our time there, talking and pointing our way. Any time she came over she was just making everyone at the table feel uncomfortable.

Very nice place, very nice staff, food really nice, however one major frustration was, we had to make multiple compromises during our visit, as more than 3 of the most popular tapas dishes they didn't have!You would have thought they would make sure that they had plenty of the popular dishes, it wasn't busy at all when we visited, and the lack of the very tapas dishes we went for, spoilt our experience some what.

A hidden gem.Excellent food with an open kitchen allows you to see the whole process. Excellent staff with very good service.

I have been to this restaurant multiple times and will go many more, it's a lovely cosy vibe with good food and decent prices. My recent visit motivated me to make a review, myself and a close friend went for a dinner date and Izzy (hope the spelling is right) was our server, she was so kind and lovely, we genuinely had such a wonderful and felt so at home. Your staff are awesome, but particularly Izzy is an asset to the team you have. Thank you for the multiple good evenings, and many more to come.Dietary restrictions: Staff are so helpful - my friend is vegan and they went through the whole menu and highlighted all the options that either were vegan or could be made so.

I recently dined at Porta and had a really good experience. We ordered plenty for two but all the food arrived promptly, which was a pleasant surprise. The efficient and polite service added to the overall enjoyment of the meal. I would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a quick and satisfying dining experience.

I like the fact that they have a terrace outside on the square. The interior is pretty interesting and I can say that the food was of a good quality, I tried many tapas in Spain and this is there on the top with them. The only critic is for the most expensive item on the menu which was some pork meat which was extremely chewy and way too rare even if it was stated that it will be served pink, but that was not what I was expecting.

I’ve driven past here many times and each time thought I’d like to try it; this weekend I finally did and it not disappoint.It’s not very big inside, but this only helps create more of intimate atmosphere. We were sat upstairs, right next to the balcony and had a great view of the rest of the restaurant downstairs.Service was very attentive and very quick. The white sangria was beautiful and the food was delicious. I tried rabbit for the first time, as it was the special that week, but it wasn’t for me. The chickpea and lentil stew was my favourite dish that we ordered.For a small jug of sangria, 6 tapas, 2 desserts and 2 cocktails it cost us £84, which I think was very good value.

Absolutely loved this restaurant. Fabulous food, service and atmosphere. We had five tapas including a special, and it still only came to £25 a head including drinks. The special was something I'd never seen before: churros with blue cheese, honey and spicy mince. Amazing.

This is a special place. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful, and very knowledgeable about the food. All the dishes I had were delicious, made with top quality fresh ingredients. I was on a city break and Porta was very close to my hotel. If I lived nearby I'd be a regular visitor!

Finally got to try Porta yesterday and it did not disappoint 5*s all round.The food and service is top notch, we didn't book so think we were very lucky to get a table, as the place filled up quickly despite it being only 12pm on a Sunday!Chicken thighs are out of this world.
This is one of Salford/Manchester's hidden gems, and the best tapas I've had up North.Everyone front of house was so nice, the waiter recommended the special, as he said he's eaten it every day himself for the past five days. So we ordered it and it was divine.Intact all the recommendations from the servers were spot on. The food was an amazing explosion of texture and flavour. It's on par with a Michelin star restaurant.

What a beautiful place on a nice day its great to sit outside but as equally nice inside the food is excellent and if I was to be really critical some of the dishes are slightly overpriced (my opinion) but I had some really tasty tapas definitely worth a visit
Sam Burdis
Top tier tapas. The service was quick and cheery, always attentive if we ever needed a refill. The restaurant itself is very welcoming but we sat outside to catch the sun.The food was superb. The highlight was the patas bravas and olives for me. The white sangria was a beautiful addition to the dishes and went down a little too well.Can't wait to come again soon.Vegetarian options: Had a range of vegetarian options and can make dishes veggie if requestedDietary restrictions: Was more than accommodating for any allergies

Porta never disappoints. We live locally and have been here a number of times now. The staff are always welcoming and friendly, and the food tasty and good. Such a nice ambience as well; you get a lovely setting indoors, but equally as lovely outside in Bexley Square.

Excellent service from very pleasant staff, lovely to sit outside in the sunshine. Drinks reasonably priced.Very enjoyable lunch time drink.
