Ambiente Tapas Hull
“I prebooked for the special Fiesta menu for 11 people on a Wednesday evening at 6pm. Although we had to choose the dishes in advance (understandable to avoid 11 people ordering individual tapas), the communication was very good and the process worked well, including the pre-ordering of drinks at a reduced rate. Although there was a warning that 'no-shows' would be penalised with a £10 per head surcharge, we did not get charged for the one person who could not come, despite only giving 24 hours notice. This was much appreciated, although it may have been different if more people had cancelled, or they were only informed on the night. There was a vegetarian in our party and Ambiente were very accommodating, providing an extra portion of veggie paella and extra tapas dishes, including an excellent plant based 'meatball'. They were very impressed and not made to feel like second class citizens. The food was excellent from beginning to end, starting with the meat platter (separate veggie platter), through the chicken and chorizo paella (separate veggie paella), tapas and dessert course. The dessert 'tapas' were wonderful, with a great choice of tasty sweets. The only way that it could have been improved would have been to have a mini cheese selection or fresh fruit, for those with less of a sweet tooth, but I consider that to be a suggestion for improvement rather than a criticism. The service from Morgan / Morten and his team was exemplary from the moment that we arrived to when we left, making this a great evening. I have previously only been here as a couple or a small group, but I thoroughly recommend Ambiente for a Christmas night out.”
