This restaurant is UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT and I have been stunned how different it might be from past dining experience.
The new owner took over mid-December; we went there last night and the food was super fresh and tasty; we were very pleasantly surprised and would now definitely recommend it.
If you've not been since December, give it another try and I'm sure you'll be as pleased as us.
Premises are very clean (including the all-important toilets) and the staff were great and made us feel very welcome.
Overall, we had a great night out and enjoyed several amazing cocktails.
Food was delicious.. the small menu is refreshing as they have the best on offer. The mushrooms in garlic and wine sauce with melted cheese on top were my favourite. Also recommend the fajitas for mains ..
We unexpectedly had a free evening so thought we'd try Zapata's on a whim. The service was excellent, and we were really impressed with the food - flavoursome, decent portion sizes and beautifully cooked. Perhaps things have been improved since other reviews or they were in on the regular chef's day off? I can't recall whether there was any music playing but it certainly wasn't intrusive music as a previous reviewer found. We will definitely be returning there though and hold our experience wasn't unusual!
I had my 18th birthday party here - everyone loved it! The food was exceptional, there was plenty of it (most people took home goodie bags) and the staff were friendly and efficient. The cocktails went down well, the music was great and lots of the guests have been back since to eat there... My recommendation - give it a go, andele, andele, arriba, arriba!
Located in the permanently damp and windy concrete hell hole at the bottom end of the Pantiles, this place never seems to look busy or inviting. This is a great shame because once inside you get a warm welcome and some really great food. It deserves to be busier
Lovely local restaurant with fab food and delicious cocktails. The menu changes regularly do there is always something new to try.
Have been to eat here 3 times now and have always had delicious food and great service!
Highly Recommended!
Limited menu but food was tasty and we enjoyed ourselves.
