Once again we were warmly greeted on arrival. We sat in the conservatory and ordered drinks whilst perusing the menu. We were advised of the specials and suggested ways in which it could be cooked for us. Choices made it wasn't long before we were shown to our table with lovely comfy new chairs �.
Again it wasn't long before our starters arrived.
King prawns, Avocado & prawns, Mozzarella and Scallops were our choices for starters. Beautifully presented and piping hot served by attentive but discrete waiting staff.
Given plenty of time to savour and enjoy the starter before the plates were taken away and replaced by even more scrumptious offerings. Swordfish, Tuna steak, Veal escalope and Spinach & ricotta tortellini were our choices and all were scrumptious and served with individual portions of perfectly cooked fresh veg and saute potatoes. Oh and then the puddings! ....
Italian Bread and butter pudding, meringue's, Brandy & Ice cream served in a glass and Lemon and Prosecco sorbet also served in s glass! The brandy and meringue puds were also served with lit candles as 2 of us were celebrating birthdays.
The thoroughly fantastic evening, meal and staff of Il Gardino is a fantastic place to go for a really special meal. Yes you pay a little more, but you certainly get what you pay for.
Thoroughly reccomend this fantastic family run restaurant. �����
One of my favourite restaurants in the West of England and a hidden gem. A family run restaurant which shows in their extensive menu and flexibility. Service is always fantastic.
Absolutely lovely restaurant, very friendly and attentive staff, highly recommend.
Excellent service and fantastic food, beautifully presented. Family run restaurant by people who really care that you enjoy your evening. Such a rare find these days. One of the best restaurants in North Somerset. Highly recommended.
Our favourite restaurant. Wonderful food and very friendly staff. We have been regular customers for over 20years and it has maintained its superb food and ambience. Thanks to Francesco , Renato and Bruno.
The best restaurant in the West. Fillet steak always cooked to perfection, delicious sauces and fabulous desserts. Our go-to restaurant for family special occasions for 25 years!
Wonderful service, so welcoming. Fabulous food. Just celebrated my ‘significant’ birthday here and want to go back very very soon. Accessible too. Thank you so much for a lovely birthday meal. PS. The birthday cake was delicious too!
My favourite place to eat in Clevedon! Never disappointed, always made to feel special. The food, the atmosphere and the staff, always perfect. Already looking forward to the next time!

You can be sure it never disappoints. Food excellent, staff and service 1st class. I had a wonderful evening there celebrating my birthday. Thanks to all.
Great food, atmosphere and service! Some options are rather pricey but worth it for the experience 😀
The food here exceeded our expectations. It is beautifully plated, absolutely delicious and good value considering the quality of the ingredients. We both agreed that the quality of the tapas dishes served to us were the best that either of us had been served in the UK. (The attached photos don’t do it justice…)
The setting is gorgeous and the interior of the restaurant is tastefully decorated and reminiscent of Moorish Spain without being clichéd. The service was warm and friendly and the staff were attentive. We had a thoroughly relaxing evening and we’ll definitely be back - would highly recommend to anybody considering a visit to this little gem.
Could not be more impressed. Service was impeccable and food was faultless. Every dish that we tried was thoroughly enjoyed by every member of our party. We had a variety of dishes; ranging from the vegetarian offerings to the meat and fish dishes. Highlights for us included the Blue Fin Tuna with Som Tam and the Huevos and black pudding. Unfortunately we aren't local but would be back as soon as possible if we were! Thank you Escala!
Escala Tapas a very beautiful place in front of the beach. Food,desert was delicious,amazing service. I have been served by Tinka,lovely lady. Good luck to all staff and thank you very much for warm welcome 😊
Unbelievable Spanish dishes, definitely ranks with best Tapas we've eaten (and we've had a few!) Service was attentive and quick and location has amazing view of Bristol Channel. Definitely returning when we come back to Cleveden.
Really excellent restaurant. Great, great food. Best mussels I have ever eaten and I have had mussels in numerous countries. The sauce is sublime. The aubergine “chips” have a taste that is completely original and sublime.
What a brilliant discovery. Stunning selection of tapas coming out of Richard the chefs kitchen, attentive service, and the Bristol Channel glowing silvery grey. Best prawn and mussel dish we have had. We will return
Great food, wine and service. A little quiet on a Sunday night but food was still out fresh and clearly cared for. Recommend the scallops and sounds crazy... broccoli!
Great location, superb seafront views, professional and knowledgeable staff. Broad selection of authentic and tasty tapas at affordable prices. Highly recommend.
Absolutely delicious. Accommodated for 1 vegan on the group. Still plenty to share around. We managed to grab a table outside (we had pre-booked) and with such a beautiful evening were thrilled to be enjoying good food and company with the beautiful view.
Lovely staff. Friendly and attentive. This is my 4th time here and it has never let me down.
Food was really lovely, but fairly pricey as portions were quite small (even for tapas). Definitely a nice place to go for a special occasion.
