    Solid selection, friendly service and not overly expensive. I recommend 2 tapas per person while…read moreyou wait for a paella (the 2-person paella will suit 3 adults with this configuration), and then gauge how hungry you are after that. It won't make you throw your hands in the air and surrender to the Tapas Gods (for that, try Barcelona in Reston outside of DC) but you'll get a good meal.

    AMAZING!!! Where do…read moreI start. Love Spain and all Spanish food. There are a few choices in the area decided to give Tapas Revolution a try. Staff were great, happy to chat about the culture of the food (if you want to) and happy to teach some basic Spanish if you are up for the challenge. The food, well it was amazing. The choices were great, a real cross selection they also did a black rice paella (died with squid ink) only seen that in Valencia so was great to try. Taste wise everything was spot on, Spanish food cooked in a traditional way. Could have easily have been in a decent place in Spain. Price was great, even got a card for 50% off via a postcard for them to post to a friend/family member. (Or You was even allowed) Over all I honestly don't have a bad or passive word to say about the place, food, staff or prices. One of my first suggestions when people ask about anywhere to eat. MUST GO ............................... 2nd Visit - Just as amazing on the lunch time menu. BEST SPANISH FOOD IN NEWCASTLE

    Food was so good. We each ordered 3 plates and it was just the right amount of food for everyone…read more It was great to be able to experience a few different dishes without spending a crazy amount of money. Dessert was delicious. All in all, for a party of 6 we each ordered 3 dishes, I was the only one to have dessert and a few of us ordered 3 drinks with the total coming to £180ish. I think that's a pretty good deal. We all agreed we would come back!

    El Coto is located on Leazes Park Rd in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, a short walk away from Eldon Square. I…read morevisited here for lunch to take advantage of their tapas offer. I was disappointed with my experience overall, arriving back home from Barcelona just a couple of weeks ago, I truly felt like I had crash-landed back in the UK. The interior was freaky and strange - I entered through what looked like an old abandoned pub on a side street, you have to walk through an abandoned bar area to get through to the main restaurant area, through a very narrow corridor - it just felt bizarre, and I didn't know if I was heading to my death or walking into an abandoned building. There is also a very loud doorbell - which I presume alerts the staff members when someone walks in because of this, it just seems so uncomfortable to be going around the restaurant, too. The menu is extensive and has a wide range of dishes; I liked how they had common allergens labelled on their menu, including the dishes that could be gluten and dairy-free. The menu did seem larger than other tapas locations I've visited, and this could be part of the problem - they surely can't do every dish well. I also found the menu to be vastly complicated for a tapas bar... I ended up going for three tapas dishes to make up the offer - the tapas paella, chorizo cooked in wine and Patatas bravas. It certainly tasted authentic either; the chorizo was partially cold, and perhaps only half of it was warm, it lacked flavour and the red colour one would usually associate with chorizo. The potatoes looked anaemic; they also didn't taste of anything, and it was the first time I'd ever been served them without the Aioli. The paella, which is the dish I was most looking forward to, was almost inedible, the rice was clumped together, and the chicken was tough, it tasted like it just wasn't fresh and perhaps had been prepared a day or two before, it was reheated for sure. The staff member who served me seemed disinterested, and it always seemed her mind was somewhere else when she was serving our table. I've really tried to cut down on handing out one-star reviews lately, as I'm trying to see positives in a business but I'm truly struggling here unfortunately. 1*

This are definitely made fresh to order. I liked the fact they had morcilla on the menu, it was delicious and I can also recommend crocettas. The tortilla de patatas could have been better, I found it to be like the ones you find in the supermarket in Spain, not the home made ones and it was clear it had been heated in the microwave, however it was still good. Will definitely be going back when I'm up here........... And so I went back and it was awful! The food was gross and stingy on the portions and my husband and I ended up sick after ordering the shrimp. Not sure what happened but avoid this place!

We ordered from the tapas menu (not sure if they have a full dinner menu?) and shared 5 tapas, which was plenty for the two of us. The tapas selection had a great variety, lots of choices. Our server was very helpful when we had questions about the portions and preparation of the food. The cost of the meal and bottle of wine was very reasonable and as expected for a tapas restaurant. I would certainly recommend this place!

    You won't normally find me in a chain restaurant but Las Iguanus always delivers really great food…read moreand is an ideal choice for groups of people due to the variety on the menu. The happy hour 2 for 1 cocktails after work are certainly appealing too! Las Iguanus offers authentic Southern American food, catering well for vegans and vegetarians, and with the option of tapas style dishes which I personally love as I'm often indecisive and a bit greedy with eyes bigger than my belly. On my latest visit however I went for the vegetable chilli which was lovely....just the right amount of spice and a generous portion although a bit too much rice in my opinion. My friend and I took advantage of happy hour and had a Mango Collins which was simple but delicious and refreshing. The layout of the restaurant seems to work okay but the table we were sat at had a constant thoroughfare of people passing by which was a little frustrating. One lady even walked past so fast that she knocked my drink over....luckily my reflexes were on fire and I saved my beloved alcohol as well as my outfit! The service again was okay but you could tell they were very busy and so not as attentive as other restaurants I've eaten in.

    Went for bottomless brunch with my bestie and had a great time. Food was delish, drinks were divine…read moreand service was delectable. Also had a great view outside if you catch my drift

A worrying amount of feedback throughout Rob Heron and the Teapad Orchestra's album launch made for numerous mildly annoyed ears and some serious death glares from the band in the general direction of the sound man. Having said that, there might have been a problem with the equipment or instruments or cables, and when the sound was good, it did stay that way for a while. I once watched my sound engineer friend set up a ten piece ska band in the basement of a tapas restaurant. Just watching this made for a terribly stressful experience. At the end of the night, he was one giant bead of sweat. Rob Heron's band were on the larger side that night, with additional brass players. So I get that sometimes things might not go to plan. Regardless, it really didn't make the night any less enjoyable and we all agreed that we'd come back to the Cluny in a heartbeat and even love to play as a band. It's a great sized venue with a genuinely homegrown feel to it. From the posters strewn across the wall, it's clear that the Cluny is proud of its local music scene. With a kick-ass kitchen next door and what looked like a knock-'em-dead selection of beer, the Cluny is quite the place for music in Newcastle. Oh, and the floor bounces, YEAH.
