“My boyfriend and I decided to treat ourselves to some tapas and wine over the past weekend and I must say that we absolutely loved our experience from the moment we walked in until we left. Have visited La Regata in the past with my family and was so happy that I managed to visit this lovely restaurant and have another amazing evening again. The food is always so fresh and delicious and of course best accompanied by their great range of wines! This place is the perfect spot for any occasion, will be back again soon! Thank you La Regata!”
“I have been coming to this restaurant for well over 5 years now and I can safely say it has never been anything other than excellent! The decor is beautiful and you instantly feel like your in Spain, the food is fresh and exciting and it is always hard to decide what dishes to have. The service is always friendly and not overbearing in any way it is a must for any lover of Spanish Cuisine!”
“Me and my husband chose to dine at the restaurant for the first time when we had family visiting. The atmosphere of the restaurant is so warming and friendly and really does make you feel like you are in Spain! We noticed the menu had soo many options to choose from and many quite different from what we have seen before. We tasted over 12 tapas dishes and there wasn’t one we didn’t like! We especially liked the king prawns in spicy garlic sauce and the chicken wings however all of it was absolutely delicious! The service was also excellent we will definitely be going back and recommend to our friends and family!”
“One of the most wonderful meals we’ve ever had. This has to be one of the nicest restaurants in the south of England. The outlook is great, atmosphere lovely, very Spanish, nice view of the docks, with superb friendly service and absolutely stunning Spanish food. Superb!”
“Our kids love this place, great menu and great tapas. Service is always excellent and the owner often comes out and chats to the kids about the food and Spain. The paella is awesome and very similar to southern Spanish varieties. Some lovely dishes too that are not often found in England, the octopus bravas for instance. Being a Tapas bar/restaurant this place is also perfect for an ice cold beer in the summer accompanied by a plate of olives, or other basic tapas.”
“Perfect selection of tasty Tapas, lovely Spanish feeling, and friendly staff. We met up with two dear friends for a catch up over lunch. We ordered Sangria which I have to say was one of the best ever. Enjoyed a great selection of freshly cooked tapas on a sunny summer’s day – perfect !! if you haven’t eaten at this lovely place, then you need to. You will not be disappointed. Thanks, La Regata and see you soon!”
“I visited this restaurant on a Saturday evening for my best friends birthday. The restaurant had an authentic and cosey decor which was extremely welcoming. We had a large party of 20 people and the majority of us had the suckling pig. This was absolutely mind-blowing. Everyone was taking pictures because it looked wonderful but as soon as they started eating everyone was awestruck. Not only did the pig look amazing, but the taste was also out of this world. The meat was succulent and was falling apart on the fork. The potatoes were cooked in rosemary and salt and were excellent as well!”

Read MoreWe visited La Regata for a family graduation meal during the week. The food was fantastic, we had just a few tapas dishes and a seafood paella, which was just the right amount of food. I would highly recommend the chicken wings and the chorizo picante-packed full of flavour. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food comes out as it's ready do dishes do not arrive at the same time but this just contributes to the Tapas dining experience. For quality of food, the price is fantastic value. Thank you for a great evening! Close

The food and service are both of the highest calibre. A family run venue and a haven from the usual pedestrian chain restaurants. The tapas is always the choice for the family; and the regularly changed specials are always very good. Save room for coffee and dessert! Close

Read MoreRegularly have had the pleasure of dinning at this exceptional restaurant; which has been a valued part of the city's dinning scene for many years.
Visited with my family again in November 2020 before lockdown #3; and was glad we did so.
The staff are friendly, welcoming and attentive.
The food is of a very high standard; and brings back warm memories of traveling throughout Spain. Two to three tapas dishes are usually more than enough per person; the difficulty you have is choosing between them. The pork ribs are amazing!
The bar has a great selection of wines and beers; however would highly recommend the Sangria.
This shall be the first restaurant I return to dine in once our county gets over C-19! Close

Read MoreOur friends were taking us from Arlesford to Southampton for an Italian treat, this place was next door and we had a pre lunch drink, good friendly staff and a large range of drinks, a very Spanish feel to the place and what looked like a large range of Tapa's, although not very busy, we spent a very pleasant hour and will come back for Tapa's another time, well worth a visit.
