Ambiente Tapas Hull in Kingston upon Hull, City of

Really pleased with the service and food. Ordered 8 plates for 2 people, mostly meat options. One item was going to take longer than expected and the hostess offered to have it removed from the bill, so the service was really very good. Fully recommend visiting.

The staff were welcoming ans friendly as soon as we came in the door and attentive throughout our meal. The food was exceptional! Fresh, delicious and full of flavour. It was great to find so many vegan options and options that weren't just roasted veg (the vegan calamari and the empanadas were delicious). My partner also really rated their charcoal grilled beef which he said was perfectly. Cooked. We had some bad tapas the day before and this was a breath of fresh air. Fantastic food and service 👌

The food here is amazing, everything that was ordered was perfect. I have to say I have been to many tapas restaurants and the food here was great. There was a good atmosphere to the place, staff were really friendly and provided a fantastic service. I really liked the idea of the menu in the table quite a nice touch.

Great place to eat friendly staff and prices ok, update! Haven't been there for a while and it's great to see that they are still busy, service, food and atmosphere all still good and good value.

Went with a friend after it was recommended and also after seeing an article on Hull Live. Can't fault the place. Lovely food, friendly attentive staff reasonably priced. Had the Spanish meat platter followed by one of each of seafood tapas. Just gorgeous. Well done.

We (two couples) went for lunch and enjoyed every minute. As there was 4 of us we had quite a selection of Tapas and ordered some extras during the meal as we enjoyed them so much. The Patatas Bravas, though a staple, were superb and deserved a second plate bing ordered, as were the Gambas (battered prawns with a garlic dip). We also tried the chorizo and potatoes that arrived in a thick black fennel based sauce that was like molasses but sweet and reminiscent of Pernod -delicious. We also had the chicken and chorizo skewers with couscous, the salmon croquettes, mushrooms with manchego crust (we ordered more), Calabaza con Queso Azul (butternut squash), beef short rib (Costello con Oloroso) and meatballs in tomato and olive sauce (Albondigas con tomate )were all fantastic. The Pancetta de Cerdo con Chipotle was liked by most of us but the Mejiliones (mussels) were lightly flavoured so should have been eaten first as the other stronger meals overpowered them - we’ll know for next time. I had the Estrella beer but the ladies had a Sherry and lemonade pitcher with mint and lime (Rebujito) which was very summery and easy to drink. The staff were great - it helped that we were there alone though tables were prepared for other guests. All-in-all a great meal, very recommended.

Amazing quality tasty food and great service from all the staff except the host who greeted and seated us, he was not very friendly and looked miserable! Overall, there could be improvement on customer engagement!! Did not feel very welcome! Mediocre service!

Been here before food was 6 star

We ordered the seafood paella for lunch & it was very tasty . The service was also very good. All in all a very good visit. We would recommend this restaurant.

Lovely staff and food was gorgeous 😄😄

Food was excellent and tasty. It's still tasty and a great place to meet up.

Very good. Staff did excellent work and food is very very good, just short of excellent

This, our second time of visiting this amazing tapas venue. First visit was about 18months ago, so glad to see it’s only improved with age! We ordered a whole raft of tapas from the menu & it never seemed to end! Even with 4 of us we were well fed with 12 choices- plus an extra serving of bread to soak up the delicious juices 💕 Our waitress was very bubbly & very well informed on the beverages too as she was clearly knowledgeable on the wines available- her recommendation on red wine was bang on- thank you. Topped off with a special Pavlova - delicious, huge - to die for!! Set in a large but well set out industrial themed interior this place is well staffed, where required-intimate booths or larger tabled areas are available & easily accessed. Cannot wait to return again - soon.

A good selection of interesting Tapas dishes. Worth a visit

Great food & great service! It was a lovely meal we had.

Stumbled on this gem of a restaurant while exploring Hull marina. Neither of us eat meat / fish and tapas is usually not that great a choice but...wrong... great selection of veggie options and we had 7 plates between us which was more than enough. Friendly staff, nice choice of beers and well set out. Recommended.

overall the experience was one that was satisfactory, however some areas could have a little improvement we sat down and was explained the process of ordering and quickly we had a drinks order created and brought to us , the flora de rosa was a brilliant cocktail and well mixed , i can say the same for the sangria the food we ordered which was the breads and patatas bravas , one without the tomato sauce which they very accommodating with , we’re ourstanding, however the breads instead of the vinegar and oil would’ve suited a specialty butter much more the paella , , we chose the chicken and chorizo , which in hindsight was the wrong choice, the chorizo was cut far to large for a paella and the chicken used was thigh which we felt was a cheap alternative that didn’t reflect the price of meal finally onto deserts , the crème brulle reflected its price very well , and had we not been so full , would’ve enjoyed it even more , the special pavlova was without fault however the strawberries could’ve been fresher as well as a larger variety of fruit over all i’d go back again but order different things such as the paella , but as a whole we rate this restaurant highly as well as the ambient atmosphere it gives off

The service is excellent, staff makes you feel very welcome. Food is very nice, well cooked, good portions considering they are tapas, and the price is good, and unlike other restaurants where they have double the prices, Ambiente has remained unchanged and still reasonable. We keep going there!

What a fantastic night at Ambiente, Hull. It's the second time we've visited and it was as good if not better than our last visit. If I could give more than 5* I would. Service was excellent, the food was delicious and the service was brilliant, thank you 😁

We loved our meal. The tapas was all delicious, but a special mention to the artichoke dish and the pancetta. Great service. We'd definitely come here again.

Most of the food was very good. Aubergine was a bit tasteless, but everything else very good. We were early so very quiet (1730)

Aug 2024 - we've been here a few times, just ourselves and with friends, it's always a great time. As of right now the menu has been updated, so we decided to pay Ambiente Tapas another visit 😁 I'll start with the "not so great" beef short rib, it was way subpar, and I usually love short rib. Nearly all of it was fat, and the bit of meat I found, it was pretty dry and not a great flavour. With that bit of negativity, everything else was great, really tasty and we left with very (very!) full stomachs 😁 The prawns and calamari are always great ♥️🤤 The chicken skewer was the star of the show, an excellent marinade, and cooked well, the flavour was spot on. If you've not been before and you can force yourself to share food (🤣) then I'm sure you'll love it... You can also order an extra portion of prawns, as a dessert, while others are eating their desserts ♥️👍🙀😁

Amazing food great service. Loved it all! The chicken and chorizo kebabs, mushrooms and sausages in cheese sauce were awesome!;

Friendly staff, cool venue and good food n drink!

Years since I ate Tapas, I was pleasantly surprised. Enjoyed every second of the evening. A very warm welcome from staff, accommodating, friendly and hard working. They could not have done any more to make our experience fabulous! I dined with a friend, staff recommended we had approximately three dishes per person to then share. We had bread then 5 dishes total and we both enjoyed every single dish thoroughly. All of our plates were empty and we were full but just enough room for desserts, which were to die for! Great atmosphere, amazing chefs and restaurant staff. Highly recommend!

Outstanding service from start to finish, staff very knowledgeable, can't wait to return and will definitely be recommending

Service attention and care was very good

Great food, very accommodating, I love tapas style if food!

This is a beautiful place to do lunch or dinner with family and friends. To take a break from your working day. The people that service you are very very kind all the time searching if everything is okay. Very close to the Spanish taste some quite different but very raw to the originals recipes.

Great restaurant with great food. Atmosphere is lovely and service was good. Will definitely return.

Food is nice but it's way overpriced for Tapas. Our waitress was lovely but one of managers was a bit rude.

Popped in for an impromptu day date with my fiance and wow!!! Food was lush, service was fab, attentative but not over the top. Not the cheapest but great value for money and the drink isn't expensive either. Highly recommend...we will be back

Lovely restaurant setting, especially the booths which are very nice to sit at. We came here previously twice and had a lovely mix of dishes which were all delicious. Sadly on this latest occasion, we all ordered steak as it was so nice last time. I couldn’t even eat it . It was so overseasoned and over cooked. I didn’t complain, but I did mention it to the waitress and apologised that I just couldn’t eat it as it was so over seasoned. None of our party enjoyed it. They offered to cook it longer - but it was already over done & tough as it had been cooked for so long . It’s a shame but it’s put us off a return visit sadly. On a positive , the calamari was cooked to perfection - and tasted amazing.

Absolutely lovely!Food excellent,loved the trio of sherries+the wine was very good ,a white rioja.Servuce very good. .Will definitely be back very soon.

The food tastes really good and it has a very good texture it could be better if it was served quicker but the food is really delicious.

Both mine and my cousin's favourite place to have a catch up. We were shown to our table on arrival and bread and olives ordered, we perused the menu and ordered our wine! So followed this with our order for food which included pork, steak, prawns and potatoes. We even managed to finish off the meal with a cocktail. Great service, friendly staff and excellent food and drinks. Love this place.

Saturday lunch Spanish dishes How comfortable the environment is The waiters are so smiling and kind, and they often come over to greet and clean up. The baked mushroom sauce is special, so fragrant and delicious. The mussels are plump and the sauce has just the right flavor. The steak is marinated in sauce and has a nice flavor, but it's a little salty. The pork tenderloin was overcooked and the next side dish was even better. I ordered a piece of bread for mushrooms and mussel juice, but it didn't go well with it, because the bread itself has a fragrance and the texture doesn't absorb the juice, but the bread is actually quite delicious when eaten alone. The Spanish rice is very fragrant and delicious, and the seafood is so fresh. However, the mussels and shrimps are too cooked. It would be better if more salt and juice were added and the baking time was shortened for two minutes. The baked Cod was very fragrant, smooth and tasty in some places, but the outside was overcooked. It was delicious when I first started eating it, but the butter smell was too strong and I didn’t want to eat too much. Please note that this menu does not include VAT, and a 10% service charge is required! There are free parking spaces on the back street!

Oh my goodness - what a gem! We've been to Ambiente for tapas several times and enjoyed each visit, but they're knocking the ball out of the park with their new venture into Spanish brunch. We've queued at other locations in and around Humber Street, and have enjoyed food but this is now going to be our brunch restaurant of choice. No queue, no crowding of tables, delicious food and such good value! We had Spanish runny scotch eggs with sour dough solders, huevos rancheros and huevos rostas - all delicious. We finished off with the churros and chocolate sauce - devine!

Beautiful food, even for a picky eater!! All of the food was so flavoured and filling. Super friendly team and very helpful with dietary requirements.

Had a great evening at Ambiente Tapas. All the staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming. We had 12 tapas between 4 of us and there was plenty of food. Everything was delicious and atca good price.

First time visit. Great food, ambience and staff. The restaurant was visited by seven of us and the experience was good for all of us including one who has a gluten intolerance. Cannot recommend too highly. Becky and the team do a great job.

We had a delicious and authentic spread of tapas dishes. The vegan options were better than the meat! We had 5 dishes plus a starter and couldn't quite finish, it was filling. The staff were nice and friendly, food was good, very pleased.

Good ambiance , great service and friendly staff. Food was amazing both veg and non veg options, however it would have been even better if portion size was slightly generous.

I wasn't sure what to expect at my first visit but it was fantastic from the cleanliness the friendliness and the fantastic tasting food. I will be back and have told several friends to try it. A couple have and agreed with me that it was great. Give it a try and you will not be disappointed. Well done to the staff.

Oh how I wish there was one near me. Incredible food. Loved it. Our waitress was brilliant.

Our 1st visit won't be our last. Lovely food at a reasonable price. Staff very helpful and restaurant very clean

We had a meal to celebrate our friends birthday. Everything was delicious, the service by Jodie was fabulous, very efficient, friendly and helpful. Great lively atmosphere too. We will definitely be returning. Thank you.

Really good food and excellent service. Excellent range of tasty tapas. Dátiles con Queso where superb!

My girlfriend and I visited earlier in the year and thoroughly enjoyed it. There was a deal on which included 3 tapas dishes for £15 which we thought was great value. The service was spot on, the restaurant was lovely inside and out, and the food was excellent. Will definitely be going again!

Food was fantastic - service was just ok but as it was pretty busy I can excuse that. But be aware of the 10 percent service charge they add on to your bill without even telling you - between two of us we had already spent over 100 pounds so to automatically add that on is a bit Rich. Also, be aware that they do not accept cash. Big no no for me this and unfortunately is the reason I wont be visiting again. Shame as the food is spot on!

Excellent food, service & atmosphere. Always top quality here. Thank you Ambiente Hull.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere - highly recommend. Great menu choice & some specials too. Great for couples, friends & family. Very well organised.

Good selection of tapas and wine. Very friendly staff

Nice place for a drink and what was standout for me was the really helpful young woman on the bar who when she spotted I was using a crutch showed me to the accessible loo. I was happy to climb the stairs as I am able to but she immediately directed me to the alternative. Outstanding service.

Lovely Tapas, reasonable size/prices. Staff attentive but not in your face. Busy saturday afternoon crowd theybwere still able to find us a table and managed to squeeze my daughter in when I had accidentally booked for 2 rather than 3. Always a lovely experience.

Nice and fancy place.Great food and well made

If I could give more stars I would, the food here is absolutely magical. Brought back nostalgia of a Spanish BBQ food I had on the Costa brava and dorada as a teenager. Server's can't do enough for you. I cannot recommend enough. I was sceptical until my fiancée talked me into going a few weeks back, I took us back for lunch today. Absolutely brilliant! 10 out of 5 stars!

Excellent bar/restaurant! Friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, good table service, nice toilets! What more could you ask for!

Always a pleasure to visit! Staff are super attentive and polite, food was delicious. Shared a chicken and prawn paella (usually chicken and chorizo, removed due to allergies) - only item we were disappointed with was the Chicharrón, rather than being “tossed” in pimento, we felt the pieces had been completely coated and unfortunately no one enjoyed these (staff removed from bill with no issues). House white wine and sangria with red were lovely! Overall really pleased - would absolutely return over and over again, thank you

Excellent service, top prices, but worth it

Anniversary meal. First time at this restaurant. Very nice place and good service. Its high end establishment but prices are fair in our opinion. Had various dishes all enjoyable and generous servings. The Sherry flight we tried afterwards was excellent . Overall very good meal and will return

Excellent food , and great service..👍😋

Great location on Humber Street, the nicest area of Hull with plenty to do.

A lovely little gem of a place hidden in a side street. Great food and lovely staff.

Short notice Great staff Delicious tapas Happy days

Absolutely love the food. Our first time there and we were not disappointed.

All-around awesome dining experience

Lovely food. Special with bones was tasty but hard work? Think I heads up might have been appreciated. Veg platter delicious as always. Prefer Leeds branch more chatting. No chat at all from servers or manageress. Very formulaic. Gent in Leeds branch was much chattier and interested. Friends drink cake with ice that had disappeared. Average on this occasion. But have had better occasions in bth hull and Leeds. But bad but nothing special.

Fantastic food, great location and ran like clock work.

Great place and good food. A little bit pricey considering how many plates you are expected to order. Good vegetarian options

Excellent food, could have done with all plates not arriving at the same time as there was no room on table

Dined here Tuesday 5th March at around 6pm. Me and my partner got seated and everything was fine. For a table of 2 there are 2 plates, one on top of each other, in the middle of the table. We both had noticed a horrific smell but didn't think much of it. I then went to hand my partner a plate and the bottom plate was drenched with a creamy liquid and had something which can only be described as mouldy fish on it. This just makes me worry about the hygiene standards. Wouldn't really class this as "fine-dining" as stated by other reviews.

Amazing tapas, great atmosphere, food comes in good time not too rushed but also not waiting a long time, the food is always really tasty and well presented. Overall a great experience and we regularly come with friends due to this. Staff are always super friendly and helpful. Amazing place.

Really impressed with this restaurant on a trip to Hull. Attentive, friendly service. Enjoyed a flight of 3 sherries, great to see sherry celebrated. Food was superb. After fabulous olives, we had two of the monthly specials, a warm salad of artichokes, corn and freekeh and a succulent roasted cod's head. We also had the goats cheese and the aubergine fritters, both light and very tasty. Would recommend

Great service and great food. Perfect Sunday afternoon for a veggie couple who like really tasty food and good wine. Thank you

Service and food were fantastic. Worth a visit if you like fine dining

Great night out, we really enjoyed ourselves

Another visit to this lovely dog friendly restaurant. The food is fantastic and so reasonably priced. This visit we decided to try the seafood paella with chorizo. Started with the delicious wheel of tapas and chicharon. The paella looked smelt and tasted gorgeous. Staff so pleasant and accommodating. Highly rate this place with added bonus of being open every day so don't have to work out when to go.

A bit disappointed. Food was mostly fried and heavy, left not feeling great. Not much imagination with the menu, the exact same Aioli dip came with most items we ordered. Service was decent, but a bit slow because understaffed and busy, seems like more staff would benefit. Also disappointed that unable to pay cash in the restaurant. Due to these reasons, wouldn't recommend and probably wouldn't return.

Great food, great atmosphere, in a great location.

We visited the restaurant for a late lunch / birthday meal. A small family , myself ,partner and adult son. We have eaten in Ambiente York and enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The Hull restaurant has had missed reviews but we have always enjoyed our visits. For those who don’t know this restaurant has a great spot on Humber Street. Self styled as trendy and vibrant but don’t let that put you off this restaurant and bar-filled street a stone's throw from the marina. We had booked and were a little early but we were greeted and taken to our table by a very attentive waitress. We had the set tapas menu and having had holidays in Spain We found the food was exceptional, both authentic and tasty. We found the food well cooked and presented , importantly it was reasonably priced. Importantly I would recommend the restaurant, give it a chance.

Great service, excellent food with a wide range of dishes and attentive staff make this a fantastic place to come. Highly recommended.

Lovely family occasion. Lots of variety/fantastic food and something for everyone.

Loved it! The restaurant looks great, the service was fantastic and the food was wonderful. I would love to come back

One of our favourite restaurants but, due to a variety of circumstances, we have not visited for a few months. Absence makes the heart grow fonder! On Saturday we visited with friends and we were all really impressed with the quality of the food and the fabulous service. Thank you Holly and Chris!

Really nice place with good food. Out of several dishes we tried between our group there was only one we didn't really like and it was chicken chorizo kebab- it was pretty much burnt and really dry. All other dishes were delicious. Chocolate brownie was my favourite

It's ok, foods nice but potions too small and have to order lots to make a decent meal, price is abit steep for the size of food

Very accommodating on last minute booking Friendly and helpful, efficient service Staff knowledgeable regards wine and recommended dishes Good atmosphere Busy Steak with sweetcorn puree was delicious 😋

Absolutely fab staff and super food

Fabulous food, great atmosphere and friendly staff. What more can I say!

I went on a company meal. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The food was hot and fresh and I didn't leave anything . The service was first class and the young ladies working were very polite helpful and well presented. This was my first tapas . It will not be my last.

Great food, great staff and good vibes!

Service was excellent. Food was excellent except for one singular dish, the potatoes and chorizo: the black sauce they came with really was quite unpleasant, and we did not like it. Otherwise the food was really good and I would highly recommend it.

Huge selection of tapas. We ordered 12 dishes between 4 of us, all delicious. Fab service and great vibe.

Lovely evening with some business colleagues. Nice buzzy and trendy place, good staff, interesting tapas menu and some excellent dishes delivered. They seem to space out the bookings which I’m sure helps the kitchen.

Stopped in early evening as passing and menu looked good. Didn’t disappoint at all. We ordered 4 dishes each, probably too much on a normal day but as hadn’t eaten since morning it all got eaten. Star of the night was the caramelised chorizo and potato, fantastic! Friendly staff and great service, we were advised the table was booked out a bit later but we weren’t rushed at all. Will we return, most definitely.

We've been here multiple times and each time the food has been absolutely delicious! It's great to be able to choose a number of dishes to suit everyone and to share all of them among the group. A must visit if you are in Hull!

Food was amazing, service slow.But stuff was helpful and polite,easy to talk,because plenty of space and comfortable to hold a conversation with company

Lovely lively bar and tapas food..

Good food, would have liked more cocktail options but will still return
