Bomba Tapas & Cocktails in Bristol, City of

5 stars is not enough to overall describe "ElColmado". Relation price/quality, professionalism, service, the warmth and knowledge to be able to have the best essence and products from Spain at home! Big thank you for everything!!

Lovely restaurant! The atmosphere was so warm and inviting and the food delicious. Front of house staff were v attentive even when juggling multiple tables :)

I live around the corner from Bravas and I haven’t been for a while. I noticed a big change. It really needs a lift. It lacked charm, the food average, service was poor last night and it was half empty at 8:30 on. Friday night. I was charged 10% on service when I would have held it back. I had to wave at the staff six times to indicate I was ready to order, twice for a drink, when food arrived our glasses were empty and my husband had to wave again to remind them he’d been waiting whilst the dishes went cold. We were sat at the bar right under their nose and they were occupied but not busy as it was half full on a Friday evening. There was no one checking the detail on customer (I.e food served no drinks). The food was not as good as before. Cod lacked seasoning, tortilla the same. Lentil dish looked like it had been prepared yesterday again no seasoning hidden under a crusty slice of goats cheese. Atmosphere wise, whilst I like music it was pumping loud to the point I couldn’t hear myself speak. Music is good for atmosphere but people go out for tapas to catch up and to talk. There was an all round lack of awareness going on. Sadly I won’t be back soon and My favourite place is no longer. The owner needs to be mindful that a good product can be ruined by people working for you who don’t share the same passion for food and service. They might think they do but who’s checking what’s coming out of the kitchen, who’s showing the staff what service is about. Who’s running the debriefing meetings. You need staff with an exceptionally good appreciation of food and service to make the magic happen. The magic wasn’t there last night sadly.

Lovely Spanish place, serving mostly small plates. They really understand the flavour of food, especially seafood (highly recommended). Great service as well.

This was a bit of a unusual Sunday roast/fish lunch mash up! I like the fish option but still got all the Sunday roast trimmings!!! An absolute smasher of a Sunday lunch. Btw, THE best roast potatoes in Bristol at the moment!!!
