After ordering the main dish we weren't asked how the food was, because the owner knew very well how the last dish after many days tastes like.When you pay around £20 for a main course in 2019 you don't expect a slice of cabbage stem, few carrots and broccoli and call them seasonal veg when it is summer!The owner can grill and chat but that's about it.Pureed tomato? Meatballs that come frozen and ready and cost next to nothing but sold at a huge profit?So few new potatoes. I could have brought some from home!!High prices do not always provide a fine meal. Neither do small portions assume to be fine too.Customers are polite but not stupid.The tomato sauce with the 3 prawns, 5 mussels, rice and a shred of fish wasn't nice at all, as if it is close to getting off. It wasn't cooked on the day!!!!It was on the board outside the door for days so it was an old dish....Sadly sellers assume the customers have no idea. As if we don't shop or cook or even serve customers ourselves.Even paid I'm not going there again!!!!

Recently visited with a friend, first time for him.Chorizo and black pudding my favourite to startThen the best steak ever, perfectly cooked.Cheese and port to finish it off.Great service as always, good atmosphere and a great evening. Well worth the visit.

Enjoyed our evening at Antonio's but a bit disappointed with the Menu and non availability of some items. If I was to be critical there are 2 many different menus and reading them off a chalk board in a dimly lit area is difficult and makes it hard to make your choices especially when they are mounted on the wall next to someone else's table. Nice atmosphere and service was excellent. Will give them another try in the new year.

Really lovely dinner here. Antonio was very welcoming and gave an excellent service. The atmosphere was good.Had 3 course set menu and all the dishes were excellent. Presented beautifully and really delicious! Would definitely recommend this place! Will be going back to try the tapas at some point!
Lovely evening spent in the company of Mr Antonio. Quite a character! Food and drinks were great and reasonably priced. We will definitely be

Excellent fish cookery, wine was wonderful. Only down side was the patatas bravas not crispy and lacks picancy. Atmosphere was wonderful and 'mine host' is a character.

We started with a few tapas, patatas brava, could have been a little spicier for me and the patatas a little crisper. Gambas al ajillo and champiniones al ajillo and despite my earlier comments it was all excellent. Mains of whole Dorada(bream) and hake fillets, both cooked to perfection, with fresh vegetables perfectly cooked for me. We had a carajillo to finish. Service and atmosphere superb. Worthy of my rating.

Just returned from a wonderful evening at Antonio's. Fabulous food, service and atmosphere. Can't recommend enough, this was our first visit but definitely won't be our last.

Would definitely recommend this placeExcellent food, great host, and waitresses. Authentic Spanish dishes. Lacked that Spanish music vibe at the start but the meals made up for it.
July 2023 Service was 1st class. This was our first time visiting and we will hopefully make this our regular now. We were looked after and the food was lovely. The atmosphere was special and the food was yummy. My partner is in a wheelchair and was helped in on the ramp, which was really appreciated. Tony, the owner, made our visit personal and memorable.
