It was our 1st time at West Street Tapas and it was a great experience, with very good tasty authentic Spanish Tapas, with the best table service from our very pleasant waiter, who talked us through every dish on the menu, so much so that he really wanted for us to enjoy each dish we ordered. I didn’t ask he’s name, but can say that he is a credit to this lovely little restaurant. Will be booking again soon. I just hope they are open during the winter for that bit of Spanish winter sunshine on a plate or several

Fab food. Lovely staff.
A bit slow with the desserts but it was very busy & we were already stuffed so it didn't matter.
The Albarinio wine was delicious.
No rush to kick us out when it quietened down.
A lovely & lively evening.
We have been several times & will keep coming back.

Cannot fault the food, absolutely delicious and generous portions. Service was a bit slow to start with because of some staffing issues. The entrance could do with a bit of attention, looks very cluttered and scruffy but once inside it’s fine. None of this would put us off from visiting again because we love it, but it might put some people off. Worth every penny.

Hi, came in last night, food was lovely as normal, waitress was really nice. Great service. My only gripe is that for the second time there was no pork. I had it once and it was absolutely fantastic but the last two times I've been it's still on the menu but not available. Disappointing because I'd raved about it to the friends I had brought to the restaurant. Still had a nice evening though

The food and service was A* . I can understand the need for simple surroundings,
however, a few pics. of the lovely coastlines ( not Benidorm !) maybe the lovely coves
of Menorca and a bit more Gypsy Kings with a free shot at the end of the meal along with the mints. All told though, Muy Bein

First time there and you have to appreciate it’s a tiny eatery which holds approx twenty guests so it can be very noisy. But I loved trying out the different Foods on the menu I like that you could order several dishes like a pick n mix. Not keen on the desserts though. I would definitely eat there again

The tapas restaurant has just come under new management and tried really hard to set a Valentine’s Day ambience, which was lovely - red rose and prosecco included.
The starters were nice but the mains definitely lacked something - the albondigas were too dense, the patatas bravas lacked any piquant sauce and the jamon croquetas lacked ham.
I’m sure this was a first day hiccup but we were disappointed with our meal and will be taking a break from visiting for now.
Business Response:
Hi Kate, Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback. We’re really pleased you enjoyed the Valentine’s ambience – the team worked hard to make the evening feel special – but we’re genuinely sorry that the food didn’t live up to expectations. Your comments about the albondigas, patatas bravas and jamón croquetas are appreciated and have been shared with our kitchen team. There’s no excuse for dishes lacking flavour or balance, even on a busy service, and we’re already reviewing recipes and consistency to make sure this doesn’t happen again. As new management, we’re committed to getting this right and delivering the quality our guests expect. We’d truly value the opportunity to welcome you back and show you the improvements. If you’re willing to give us another try, please feel free to contact us directly – we’d love to personally look after your table next time. Thank you again for your honest feedback, and we hope to see you again soon. Warm regards, The West Street Tapas Team- Overall: 7/10

We arrived 10 minutes before our booking and were advised we could sit at our table and they apologised as it wasn’t set for us yet. No problem. We did have to wait 25 minutes for our drinks order to be taken. It was busy so I do understand but would have been nice to at least get a drink. We went on a Saturday, it’s very loud when busy as only a small restaurant and sometimes it was hard to hear each other but the atmosphere was lovely. The staff are very friendly, chatty and helpful. We ordered way too much food thinking there wouldn’t be much! The food was delicious and easily enough. It’s presented well and we really enjoyed our meal.
