I came to Sant Yago yesterday with my friend and we were both super impressed! The atmosphere was wonderful, the staff were very welcoming, accommodating, and always making sure we have enough drinks. The food was 10/10, I couldn’t fault it. If you get anything, you have to try the Sunblushed Tomato Arancini😍 The only fault I have is that we did wait quite a long time for our food to come but we did have cocktails in the meantime. It’s a wonderful restaurant, perfect for a date night, or for a group of people.

Went for tapas after watching England beat Switzerland on penalties. We had booked in advance. A little busy so they recommended that we have some nibbles first to tide us over until our tapas arrived. In the end it wasn't a long wait. The food was very good as was the service.

Very nice tapas restaurant. I've never seen so many gluten free options and they had lots of options for vegetarians too. The food was tasty and they had good portion sizes. Their cocktail list was massive - all different and fantastic.

Great spot for a light lunch. Tapas dishes are rather sizeable compared to other tapas places, so there's still plenty of food to go round between multiple people. The food itself was flavoursome and filling – but the highlight for me is definitely the cocktails. So refreshing, I shall compare them to a summer's day.

Great Tapas restaurant! Menu has a great selection and valued well. Quality of food is great from starters to desserts! The cocktails list is also great and has a lot of selection. Location is good however there isn't much parking, however parking is walking distance. I would mention if you are considering here which I recommend; is to reserve a table as it is very busy and in demand. You won't be disappointed with you choice to eat here. It's also very clean with a nice atmosphere - staff were very friendly too.

Such a nice restaurant and the staff are lovely :) would definitely recommend anything from the fish menu or the pig cheeks, they literally fell apart from being so tender

Tried this place recently and it was… fine. Not bad at all, but not somewhere I’d rush back to either. The highlight for me was actually the mocktails — they were made properly, like real cocktails, not just a glass of fruit juice with ice (which happens way too often). That was a nice touch and definitely appreciated. Food-wise, everything was decent but nothing really stood out. The truffle arancini were tasty and probably the best thing we had. The rest — a couple of tapas and a tacos & chips dish — was perfectly okay, just not particularly memorable. Price-wise, it came to about £25 for 2 tapas, 1 main dish, and 2 mocktails. Not outrageously expensive, but not exactly cheap either. In Southsea, you can probably find better value for money for a similar kind of meal. Service was friendly enough, no issues there, but also nothing that really made the experience feel special. One small downside: one of the tables looked very close to the toilets, which wouldn’t be the nicest spot to sit. Overall, an alright experience — nothing went wrong, just nothing that really wowed me either.

Food was really good, highly recommend the Truffle and mushroom arochini! The food came out abit slower than expected but was worth the wait. The service and atmosphere were amazing.

Having eaten at this establishment before as part of large "party" group, I was keen to enjoy a more intimate dinner with the wife here. We enjoyed some wonderful espresso martinis downstairs upon our arrival, with the lovely bar-person being an absolute treat...and a great mixologist! Eventually, we took our window seat and order a selection of mouth-watering food to share. I won't babble too much, but it was a solid 7/10...with only the "meat tacos" being dry and cold upon arrival. It's another solid night out at this pleasant and busy restaurant.

Staff and service downstairs was very good and attentive, cocktails were lovely. However atmosphere downstairs was not great sadly music playlist was not really right vibe, sounded like someone’s personal preference than suitable for customers, and it was very cold downstairs I kept my coat on entire meal which was really uncomfortable… the crispy calamari was soggy, focaccia should have been warmed/toasted, pulled pork delish, beetroot dish was very poor and tasteless, lamb was lovely. Overall I live santyagos and lovely to they didn’t inflate prices for valentine but overall would have preferred slight increase in price and uplift in some of the food quality and a different vibe downstairs

Sad.y the food (tapas plates) all arrived at once, the plates were very cold and the restaurant was also quire cool, so most of the plates were warm to cold. BIG SHAME as the food was well presen…

Food wasn't great. The chicken and chorizo tacos had a weird floral taste to them. The chilli jam for the potatoes was just siracha mixed with Thai sweet chilli.. the calamari was overcooked and rubbery. Won't be returning, unfortunately. Our serving staff were pleasant but food took a while to come out of the kitchen.

Visited for a Valentine’s Day dinner, our main server couldnt have done anything more , to her credit and didn’t charge for food in the end, however the atmosphere in general was somewhat chaotic with wait staff physically running at times, the kitchen was so slammed that we waited well over an hour for food and the quality of what came out was poor, beef cheek tacos came out as small chunks of unseasoned beef, not sure if beef cheeks or just cooked incorrectly. Aubergine rolls were cold , did not wait to try the rest of the food as it was around 9:15 (we sat down at 7:40) and we were very hungry. Went home and got pizza.

The service was great, however, the food was such a disappointment. We haven't been to Sant Yagos in a few years and were so excited to eat there again, but it's like the kitchen ran out of salt/seasoning. Every item of food was so bland and tasteless - not worth the £80 price tag.

Unfortunately, the food quality has noticeably declined compared to previous visits. Given the prices, it no longer feels like good value for money. The cocktails were the highlight of the evening, but the overall dining experience was disappointing. It appears cost-cutting measures have impacted the menu and ingredients, which has taken away from what used to be a great spot.
