Customer service needs improvement especially with handling large groups. The overall experience with FOOD was AWESOME!

Lovely venue, the Tapas menu looked fantastic but we opted for the paella which was really delicious. The staff were lovely and we had a very enjoyable lunch

The personnel was friendly but seemed overwhelmed/worked Tapas not cheap, but overall rather tasteless- especially when you take the prices into consideration The wine was as bad as it gets Overall- no recommendation

The service here was utterly awful. We had to wait over an hour for our food, we didn't get any apologies for the delay and to add to that the waiter later on asked in a rather passive aggressive tone if our food was ok....This is the second occasion that this has happened and it is safe to say we won't be visiting here again.More

The tapas were fantastic and authentic. The prawns, octopus, chorizo, and pork were top notch. Everything was flavorful and attractively presented. The sangria was lovely. The dessert was exceptional. They also had the fantastic, almond based torta of Santiago de Compostela. They kindly substituted dairy...free ice cream for me with no fuss. This is a popular spot and it could be crowded but the food was first rate.More

Looked at the reviews April 2022 when was in Southampton last but didn't get a table. Back here tonight amd luckily got in. Wow. The bread and olives woth garlic mayo superb even though I hate mayo. The tapas was superb. The meatballs, scallops, chicken...and chorizo but the pork cheeks on mash ridiculous. My only gripe os they ran out of Creme catalonia which I was looking forward to. The desserts were superb including the churros which I shared after disappointment with no creme catalonia. But all in all top drawer. Whoever says otherwise has a vendetta against this place.More

A busy Saturday lunchtime but the staff were brilliant and the tapas delicious. We will definitely be booking again.

Honestly, was so impressed with the food here. The service at ordering and paying stage was slightly slow, but the tapas was great, tasty and well presented.

Visited Southampton in late July. Popped in without a reservation early Friday evening. No tables but had a lovely dinner seated at the bar. Food was very tasty, well spiced and plentiful portions. The crab cakes in particular were delicious. Service was friendly and efficient....Well worth a visit. Next time we are in Southampton, we will make a reservation to make sure we get to eat here again.More

This place is brilliant for anyone wanting authentic Spanish food, fantastic wines, great service with a fabulous atmosphere. I visited here with my daughter and we both came away very happy punters. The staff were very friendly and advised on both the food dishes, what...and how many to order and on the wines. The decor gives a very traditional feel and the atmosphere casual and friendly. The restaurant itself is near the waterfront and well worth a visit.More

Fantastic. Had 5 different tapas and a bottle of wine. All were outstanding! A little loud at times, but still an excellent meal!

La Regata is well worth seeking out if you’re planning an evening meal in Southampton. It’s a charming restaurant on the harbour front close to the ferry terminals with staff who all gave service with a smile. The tapas we ate were all reasonably priced...and excellent quality with some unusual items on the menu. We had Manchester cheese and crackers, cooked dates stuffed with blue cheese (delicious), pork escalope with chorizo and cheese, stuffed crepe mushrooms and fried bacalao strips all washed down with 2 bottles of the very drinkable Paso A Paso white wine. There was a great atmosphere in the restaurant with the upstairs room used when the main restaurant gets busy. Well with a visit!More
