Amabi - Isle of Wight

Friendly staff, but food although tasty extremely expensive. Peppers from a jar, too many potatoes to bulk out the dish. Tapas OK but wouldn't return for a main dish as overpriced for quality and content.

Visited as part of a large party ~20 people. Staff were very welcoming on arrival, plenty of staff working. Waitresses promptly took our drinks and then food. Drinks were slow to arrive, cocktails not shaken with ice so like warm. Some drinks were prompt and some took upwards of 45 mins. Perhaps due to 1 member of staff making them at a time. Food was quick and hot! Highlights being the bravas and the 1kg sharer steak, beautifully cooked and tasted fantastic. Unfortunately portion sizes varied, the sharer dishes were excellent value for money and stars of the show. Lamb ‘cutlets’ were in fact a singular cutlet. And the seasonal ‘vegetables’ was a singular piece of aubergine. Obviously being a large party food came consistently out, not having to wait too long to order. Only a few desserts (3) were ordered along with a few coffees (6) which took an AGE to come, as their machine capacity was limited. The last coffee was almost an hour after ordering. Staff were fantastic throughout and the food tasted perfectly. Just wish a few of the tapas dishes were slightly larger to reflect their prices. Would visit again and would recommend despite some shortcomings.

A last minute booking, but got a table and had a fabulous meal with great wine. A small busy restaurant but super atmosphere. Great ribeye steak, croquettas, calamari patatas bravas

Fabulous authentic Spanish food with friendly and efficient service from enthusiastic staff. Reasonable prices and well worth a visit.

We stopped in here by chance last year and though we would try it again this year and we were not disappointed. The food here is absolutely superb. Probably the best Spanish food i have tasted outside spain. I had a beetroot and tomato gazpacho which was so fresh and spicy Followed by some chicken thighs in a rich tomato sauce. Its in a semi industrial area but dont be put off by that the authenticity and quality of the food is what counts. Its not just worth a visit its a must visit absolutely excellent.
