Lovely Mothers’ Day visit. Slightly restricted menu because of Sunday opening, but still very enjoyable.
Great food, exceptional service, highly recommended, definitely worth a visit, one of Brighton’s best independent restaurants
Was all delicious. Would go back anytime and recommend to anyone
Fantastic! Amazing service! Staff were fab! Thank you, Amex will be back
Really imaginative tapas but unfortunately four items were not available
The tables were just oiled and ruined my wife's jacket entirely. The sleeves of her nice blazer were black. We complained, the manager sat at a table the entire evening and did not bother to come to us to see what was happening. The poor waitress kept going back and forth to the manager's table, discussing all the time. After a long time they said they would offer the food. As we were flying home the next morning we insisted to get the money for a new jacked. They said sorry but no way would they do that. We were very upset to still see the manager sitting at the table laughing. We left and on the way out he was still laughing at us, we were literally pushed out of the door. Our guesthouse recommended we would eat here We will certainly let them know. Very, very disappointing attitude.
Unfortunately compared with other times I have been here, potions were a lot smaller. Goats cheese was not there but harder cheese instead and the ribs were a little chewy. We will give the restaurant another go as we have had great meals there before.
We really enjoyed our evening meal here and would recommend.
The food we had was lovely, but had run out of olives, balsamic vinegar, butter, scallops and padron peppers so menu rather restricted for tapas, oh and the white rijoca had also run out. It was rather embarrassing, as the first time I went it was fantastic and Saturday was a bit of a let down in front of friends that I had raved to about the place 😢
After our table was moved away from the toilets we had a lovely time. Delicious food, great atmosphere.
Ribs and croquetas were to die for, bit expensive though. Did have to send dish back but they did deal with it very well.
Overpriced for uninspired tapas would not recommend a bit disappointed
Food was good but portions are on the small side compared to other tapas places in town. Avoid sitting near the door as it’s hard to close - a succession of people left it open last night, subjecting us to chilly blasts of air. I had to get up to close it half a dozen times.
I’ve been previously in this restaurant and had a great experience! Unfortunately this time I could not say the same, as some dishes that we’ve ordered where under cooked which made the whole experience not as pleasing! Nevertheless they were kind enough not to charge us for two dishes that were not in conditions to be served.
Amazing food, service and atmosphere, the tables are bit too close to each other and you could fix that door but it won't put me off, I'll be back soon :)
Food was great and the atmosphere very relaxed. We are definitely coming back!
Great food would thoroughly recommend a visit, as it is, by a long shot, the best Spanish food in town.
Excellent all round, only negative was that we couldn't leave a full tip as it was 'cash only tips' ... Would have tipped more if we were able to!
Great food & great service! Best Tapass in Brighton! A visit is a must!
Great potential but the chefs need to taste their own food as some plates were really under seasoned and others were desperately in need of some acidity to balance the flavour.
Lovely night out and quite busy for Monday. Already booked another visit.
Unexpected menu with flavours of oriental influences. Load of coriander which I can't stand. Staff is very helpful and attentive though. Based on food I had I wouldn't go back. Unless paella is added to the menu?
Lovely food, great service and presentation in a trendy environment.
Outstanding food, service, atmosphere, everything! We had 2 babies with us and it perfect for them too. Look forward to returning.
Good food good service large party made the place noisy
Both the staff and food were amazing! We will be back.
The restaurant was superb! The food was a complete adventure for the senses!! The calamares and beef shins were my favourite!! Staff were friendly and attentive, the chef's introductions of each dish was a lovely personal touch! I had a thoroughly enjoyable evening and will definitely be back soon, thank you Pabellon 👍😊x
Great restaurant! Fresh tasty food, great atmosphere and delightful staff. I would 100% recommend for Tapas lovers
Delicious food, lovely chefs who explained our dishes and were very friendly, rest of staff were wonderful too, can't wait to go back and try everything we couldn't fit in :)
Lovely food and the staff were very friendly and efficient.
Lovely food, knowledgable staff, a busy atmosphere, cosy and comfortable
Wonderful atmosphere, great tasty small plates, perfect for sharing. We sat at the bar which was quite comfortable (often not the case!). The drinks were lovely too. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent food and service this little place is a gem and is a locals favourite I love it !
Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. We would recommend sitting at the chefs bar as the chefs are mesmerising to watch!
will be back, lovely service and lovely food. thanks .
Restaurant tables and decor was lovely. The food was really delicious with excellent service! Really helpful staff when asking for advice about particular dishes and really prompt and attentive service.
Excellent food and service! Came in a large group and food was speedy and delicious. Great selection of creative vegetarian dishes. Will definitely be back
My favourite dish was the octopus, it’s great sitting at the pass and watching the chefs work. Perfect size menu, looking forward to going again.
Good food and efficient service. Some dishes are really good like the calamari and the ribs. The restaurant is a little noisy which appears to be down to the acoustics.
We sat at the bar which is far more interesting and interactive experience than at the tables. The staff were friendly, helpful and nothing was too much trouble and we were never rushed. The food is varied and tasty - perfect for the sharing plates. I've been here several times and would go back gladly. Recommended.
Lovely environment, staff were very friendly and helpful. Lovely food, well presented and very resonablly priced. Definitely worth a visit and I will definitely be going back.
We had an amazing time at the restaurant. The service was great and the food was incredible. Would definitely recommend and will be going back very soon.
Great food great service. Been here 3 times now . Boquerones on sat night were not on lovely tomato based crispbread as the other day . But still nice . Amazing wine menu . Fun place to go . Great place for 2 if you sit at bar area . Very fast service . Value for money as great portions also !
Service good. Food not at the standard of its sister restaurant Señor Buddha. Don't expect broken toilets and cold restaurant when spending £70 per head. Could do a lot better with a bit more effort.
Very friendly staff, well presented food and incredibly tasty. Went on a Tuesday night and it was really busy. Estoy excitador para regreso pronto, Gracias chicos
Amazing food and amazing service x Highly recommended will definitely be back - super friendly staff and nothing was too much trouble Thankyou for a great evening
Great service, lovely staff & food was excellent. Reasonably priced & fantastic choice of Gins as well all in all we’ll definitely be back again very soon.
Perfect Saturday night venue for a group of 5 of us getting together! Fantastic food, some really unusual takes on the classic tapas dishes, whilst some of the old favourites were there too. And all beautifully presented. The staff were really friendly and very helpful recommending wine. Great night out with a lovely ambiance!
Lovely relaxed atmosphere, great food and friendly staff... what's not to like!? The toilets are quite fabulous too!
Great atmosphere. Amazing food, great drinks and very reasonably priced. The staff were relaxed and friendly. Highly recommended! My only negative comment is that it was a bit chilly
