Esteban has a lovely peaceful atmosphere, smiley helpful staff and great service. The food is absolutely delicious. This is a real treat and I would highly recommend it. My favourite restaurant.

My friends and I went on Sunday 17 th august for a birthday. I had never been before but can really say we all enjoyed our food and the afternoon. The staff and service was excellent and I will certainly go again. Highly recommended.xxxxx

Esteban was the first tapas I'd tried and I was really suprised at how good it was. Will be going back for more.

I have been to Esteban quite a few times and have never had any complaints. The food is always lovely and the service excellent. I have recommended it to friends and would absolutely recommend it to others.

Very disappointing menu, food and service
Poor presentation and quality of food
Such a shame as it could make a FORTUNE in that location.
Message for head “” chef””
Creativity. The creativity of a person is already a part of him when he is born. However, if this quality is not developed in a person, this will not have positive results. Head chefs need to be creative above anything else. This may sound harsh but practically anybody could work out a meal with a recipe. However, the taste and presentation of such a meal will depend on the creativity of a person. Thus, for meals and recipes to be as delectable as these can be, creativity is essential.
Thanks,

Have been visiting Esteban's for a number of years, but was extremely disappointed with both the service and food on a recent visit. After having booked a table we had to wait 35 minutes to be seated and whilst we appreciated it was busy, the attitude of the person in charge towards us was both condescending and unhelpful. It's a shame if Estebans becomes too complacent as there are other Spanish tapas restaurants clients can go to for similarly priced meals and more authentic food.

I have been going to Esteban for a number of years and find the food good and the staff even better. I would recommend this Tapas bar for good service.

The food is excellent. It is well presented and consistently of a high standard. We've been regulars for about 3 years now and are very satisfied with the much needed management change.
Unfortunately, the music is just too loud! One of the waitresses agreed and said there is a problem with a dodgy speaker, but it really does make it uncomfortable to eat through. It feels like we were in a tacky nightclub. The toilets are also kept to a very poor standard, which may put people off from eating here. Also the lady in the black really must learn to tie her hair back if she is going to handle drinks!
On the whole we will definitely be returning! We just hope the new management takes on board our minor criticism. :D

My wife and I have been eating at Esteban on the weekend, for at least 5 years now.
In the past, the menu has been wonderful and always seems to be developing to my tastes, the service has always been lovely, and the ambiance tactful.
The past two weekends have been the worst experience for me and I'm sorry to say,
I will never be going back to Esteban.
Firstly, we have been denied the right to book a table on two separate weekends- I was furious when I phoned to book and was told that although I was a regular I would not be getting a table booked. I have never been to a restaurant that does not take bookings (at least do it for the regulars) We came in anyway, sat down and relaxed. The music was so loud, it was like a disco, the lights were so dim I couldn't actually read the menu. The seats had been moved, and now I was so cramped I could hardly move!
So we eventually asked out waiter to turn the music down. He went and got a new person, whom I can only assume is a manager, (he was wearing some tacky pink shirt and tie instead of the Esteban shirt) he then lied to our faces saying he was going to turn it down, and turned it up 10 minutes later!
I do not know what is happening there, but it used to be a really relaxed environment. Now the staff is falling over each other, I can't speak to my wife, and I can't read the menu to order anything. All my friends will know about the changes. Esteban- age 30+, -Not welcome!

We went on Easter Saturday and the food is lovely and service great, the only thing is that they don't do the veg risotto as part of the tapas menu now and I'm sure that my little boy who's 2 and a half would love it.
