We visited El Sabio after viewing the YouTube clip on the restaurant. We were visiting the Intech science planetarium and wanted somewhere convenient to eat
Open until 4pm on a Sunday and with a good varied menu, El Sabio was perfect. Two of our party loved their Gourmet burgers and our youngest enjoyed Penne and Chorizo, we shared 6 Tapas...

This was our second visit to El Sabio and certainly won't be the last. The service was really good, friendly and efficient and the food arrived quickly. I was really impressed with the quality of the seafood paella. I used to live in Spain and this is the only Tapas restaurant in the UK I have found that offers anything...

The food at El Sabio is very good - and moreover there is a wide selection on the menu. The staff were helpful, although I can understand where the comments about service may have come from. On a busy evening we felt there was a good atmosphere in the restaurant and enjoyed the experience. Would go back.

i am youngish but i enjoy my own company when i go out eating and i don't expect to be treated with dismissive arrogance when i enter a restaurant.
i sat outside to enjoy the riverside views but the service given to me felt as if my money was not really worth their time and subsequently feel their time was...

We went on a very busy Wednesday night. Looking forward to a great atmosphere in a packed restaurant. Service was friendly, but slow. Food was a major let down.
Having been all over Spain and returned many times, Spanish food is my absolute favourite, and I was sorely disappointed in El Sabio’s fayre. It was lacking depth of flavour, in...

Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for your review.
I am sure we were busy because what you said. The food is very bad so the service.
The nearest "pre-cooked,factory made,microwave food" is to you in Portsmouth.
Que aproveche

I lived in Spain for many years and my family are still there now. This Spanish tapas restraunt is top notch.
Very authentic and very polite staff, unfortunately there isn't a single Spanish employee there, but they do insist the chef was trained in a top Spanish restraunt and by the quality of the food I find it hard to...

We had a birthday meal here on Good Friday and although the food was really lovely, great selection of dishes and beautifully cooked, the service sadly let their chef down.
We waited around 20mins before anyone took our drinks order and had to "catch" a member of staff whenever we needed more drinks. At no point did anyone come to...

Dear Madam,
Thank you for your time to write such a honest review. I really do appropriate that.
I am really sad to see that your experience wasn't the greatest. I could make up excuses to cover my staff mistakes but I wouldn't do that to anyone. There is no real excuse for that.
I believe it was just one...

I went with my mother and brother on good friday, the service was friendly and helpful and advised us well on the quantities of tapas to order. even though it was approaching 3 o clock (their closing time) they did not rush us at all, and we enjoyed our tapas deserts a lot.
The main tapas itself was delicious. Their...
