Casa Del Mar in Hartlepool

Lovely place to go for a meal. Food was amazing.

Super friendly and attentive staff. All of the food is cooked to order and very authentic Spanish tapas. Great value food and wine so will definitely be back!

Waited 15 minutes for drinks order to be taken and menus brought to table, placed order for drinks, 10 minutes later told no dark fruits cider, asked if any other ciders, told only Fosters or San Miguel, they’re lagers, oh sorry I don’t know the difference said the waitress! Went to the bar with her to show her the bottles of cider. Food selection made, waited another 15 minutes for it to be collected, food arrived promptly and was lovely, thimbleful of garlic mayo soon disappeared but impossible to attract staff attention, no further table service such as ‘is everything OK?’ ‘Can we get you anything else?’, even had to approach the bar to pay the bill,

Gorgeous food, big portions and a lovely ambiance. We were served by Liam who was fantastic. My daughter always asks to come here and again it was a great meal. I would recommend the halloumi fries.

We had the lunch time meal 🥘. We had the tapas meals, which consisted of mussels,King prawns,chicken and steak. All of which where cooked to perfection. Our compliments to the chef 👨‍🍳. Washed down with some nice drinks. All very reasonably priced. We had a good time, we would definitely recommend.

Lovely food, the happy hour deal is great value and well worth the cost. Don't over order...you will want to but the portions are decent so 3 small dishes is usually the perfect amount...4 if your really hungry! The toilets really need an update and refresh, but that would be my only criticism.

Can't fault the food, amazing choice, and very tasty

Had a table booked for 5.30pm but at 6.50pm they said we had to leave as they had another party booked in for 7pm it wouldn't of been a problem if it didn't take 50 minutes for food to come to the table which only left 20 minutes to eat, but also tool another drink order 5 minutes before they told us they needed the table so had to leave full glasses of beverages, not good at all would never return

Dreadful. My husband and I rarely go out for food, and we were really looking forward to last night for our 4th wedding anniversary. We were shown to the table and told that the chap would come back for our drinks order. People came in after us and were given drinks and the menu was explained. I had to go to the bar to ask for someone to take our order. We didn't even have a wine list! You have to tick boxes on a card to say what you want to eat. When the food did arrive... my husband said my tapas at home was better! Everything tasted like it had been heated up in the microwave. Do not even get me started on the chorizo! Just absolutely awful. The whole lot. NOT going back. Step up your game, as your restaurant used to be lovely!

A customer recommended this place to us while reading the menu outside. Food was lovely, big servings and hot out of the kitchen.

Lovely food, served quickly, good prices. Would recommend

We didn't book and they were busy, but the food was disappointing, the muscles were tiny and they are by the seaside so l was expecting big taste muscles, the calamari was chewy, the garlic mushrooms were just swimming in a oil substance and l could not taste any garlic, my vodka lime and lemonade seemed to be missing the vodka and to top it off it was red hot, everyone in the place was red faced from the heat, apparently the air-conditioning was on but it definitely needed turning up, all in all not a good meal

To be honest the food was not good the chille con carne was bland no sauce or seasoning the worst example of the dish I have ever eaten i also had chicken with chorizo which at least had sauce but was not great the nachos however were very good as was the bread

Amazing Lunch at Casa Del Mar, fantastic food and service. Thank you Alice for being so accommodating and looking after us 5*

Highly recommended, the food was absolutely excellent,

Ordered food over phone for collection. Customer service was great. Food was ready for collection as arranged. The food was well packaged and all fresh. Everything we had was very tasty.

Really lovely food, great staff, quick service, definitely value for money can't praise it highly enough,can't wait to go back😊😊😊

Always lovely food, fast service.

Really nice food, very attentive staff and a nice relaxed environment

The food was amazing! I’m a big fan of Spanish foods so I was excited for this, I ordered some tapas for the table and had a good laugh! However the staff are friendly but completely forgot about us for half an hour! We had to ask for the bill 4 times until someone came to us with it. Disappointed about that as it was ruining our night, however the food is still very nice.

Food was exceptional and the service was second to none. Thank you for your service.

The drinks and service were great, but the food was awful.. If you like nice food, I’d avoid this place. The crispy prawns were squidy, the mussels were tasteless, the food was just awful

Arrived at 5.45 the place was buzzing, staff were really busy but were smiling throughout service. Food was so delicious, got even busier but the special offer ended at 6.30pm staff were so helpful and turning table but no rushing customers. So cheap food, great atmosphere, and lovely wine what is not to like

Lovely food, great service and reasonable price.

Must admit it was far better when we visited in the summer. Wine was good food just dropped a notch. Then again I am a vegetarian so accept other dishes could still be fabulous.

Good food. Nice atmosphere. It was our first time here but we will definitely return. The cocktails were excellent and most of the dishes we had were excellent (the meat ones especially).

Was there for a 21st and the staff were fantastic and friendly 👌

Food is average .. Service is very frosty not even a welcome. Staff need training on customer service and at least look as if they enjoy what they do. The person on service on Thursday evening clearly doesn't. I will think again on returning which is a shame.

Lovely place and lovely food, staff very pleasant, well done 👏👏👏

Fab night, food was delicious and arrived quickly. Always a good night

As usual great food taste but this time one dish was cold and lipstick on a glass.....not even an apology worth talking about. Disappointing visit compared to normal

Separate vegan menu on request - pictured. Service was very quick and the food arrived quickly too. Would recommend

Amazing food. Lovely atmosphere staff very helpful.

Fantastic service and amazing serving staff. Food nice but missing a trick or two. German salami has no place on a tapas charcuterie shaing platter. Wines were very good 👍

Excellent food. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Can't wait to go back again.

Drinks service a bit haphazard some meals rather oily

Excellent place to visit for a good selection of food off a good menu. Neat and tidy and always clean and great service from a good staff. Always had a good meal and well worth a visit.

First visit for me, pleasant helpful staff and nice food.

Lovely view. Nice starter but came with main course before we had finished. Chicken dry on main course and pineapple with steak and chips stewed. Complained about chicken did not seem bothered. Most expensive meal but worst

Visited with large family party, outstanding food, staff and service. Fabulous choice, lovely atmosphere and surroundings. Parking available at the marina pay station opposite. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Visiting Hartlepool for a couple of days and found this gem. Delicious food, great service, relaxed atmosphere and reasonably priced. If we lived locally we would be regulars.

The food was great but the 70 minute wait for the food to arrive was awful, just left with no update or real apology for the delay

This restaurant is a great place to go if you would like to try a lot of different foods. There is a lot of choice on the menu, and the food is very tasty. Relatively cheap, you can get 3 tapas dishes for £14. Staff were friendly, would definitely eat here again.

Food was good, especially the portion was great for the price. They also serve food pretty fast, would recommend getting Tapas, quite nice value for money.

Always a great place for a family night out. Great food in a relaxed atmosphere.

Great tapas food. Great happy prices too before 7pm.

Top 👍👍👍👍 Toller Aufenthalt gehabt.

Had a lovely evening with my partner in this restaurant. The staff were lovely, the food was pretty good for the money, the wine was reasonably priced and we finished off with a bottle of Prosecco which came with 2 glasses with a strawberry and an ice bucket whilst sitting outside enjoying the last of the evening sun. My only complaint, and to me it's a pretty big one is about the "Morcilla" I ordered. Morcilla is Spanish black pudding sweet with onions similar to French Boudin Noir. What it is not is 2 slices of economy English black pudding. It's not that I don't like English black pudding, I really do but I was so disappointed to get it when I'd ordered Morcilla. If you don't have it and you are going to replace it with something then please have the decency to tell me so that I'm not disappointed when it arrives and also think about the fact that without this problem I would have been giving an absolutely glowing review. Will we go there again. Damn right we will because it was lovely and the staff were amazing.

Managed to fit us in last minute on Saturday night and we ended up running late which was also fine. Food was absolutely top tier! We had 6 tapas between 2 and each dish was delicious. The homemade Salted Caramel Cheesecake was honestly the nicest cheesecake I've ever had. Staff were warm, friendly and accommodating....we ended up being the last people to leave! I would come back to Hartlepool solely to eat here again.

A nice place for some tapas at a reasonable price. The food was very tasty and we enjoyed people watching as we sat outside in the sun. The service was slow but the food was good. We will probably go back again

The food and drinks are amazing at Casa del Mar

Good food and a good place to sit outside in the sun.

First the good bit z we were able to get a table at short notice for lunch and my son enjoyed his fajitas. I ordered some tapas including meatballs and chilli con carne both of which were inedibly salty. Staff handle drinking glasses gripping at the rim rather than towards the bottom of the glass. Plates and bread were chucked onto the table rather than placed and at no point were we asked if we wanted additional drinks or if our food was ok. I hate shafting a local restaurant but honestly it was poor from the start.

A bit of a mixed experience. Most tapas were very good, but a couple of the prawn dishes were disappointing - lacked flavour. There were definitely some service issues. I would rate a good overall but TA only allows Very good or average ratings. Average would have been mean.

Think this is my 5th review, previous have all been 5 * reviews. Disappointed on this visit. Food was good but the service was very slow. It was Fathers day but we'd booked early so wasn't overly busy. Finished meals (very positive on the food, we all enjoyed everything) but we were left with dirty plates for 40 mins waiting for kids ice creams that never came (we asked twice) . We wanted to order coffee but waited that long we left to go elsewhere as kids were getting tired waiting. We'll be back it was just a slightly frustrating visit.

My first visit to this establishment following a recommendation. I wasn’t disappointed! Although busy, service was attentive and efficient. A well organised establishment but casual. The food was of very good quality and reasonably priced. I will definitely visit again, often, I’m sure 👌

Nice food Or ready booked next meal

Everyone needs to go and help to sponsor the ship lovely people will go again thank Rob and Janet Southport

Excellent food, great value for money and good service.

Cracking place for a bite to eat, top notch food and not bad prices.

Great food, great service and excellent choice.

We had a great meal. Lovely food a friendly staff.

Very friendly staff. Excellent food as always.

Haven't been there for a long time as previously experienced poor service and staff attitude and unfortunately still the same !!!!!!!!!!!! Shown to table by man with no interaction with us and no one came to take our drinks order we had to ask !! Not good enough

Probably my favourite eatery in Hartlepool. Never disappointed, the food is delicious. Highly recommend this place.

No leftovers from us! Food and service were great 👍

Love this place, food always great and didn't disappoint today for hubby's birthday visit. Booked in for 12 moon and by the time we left it was fairly full. Had the usual and tried the mini dessert platter. They swapped creme brulee for chocolate fudge cake so shows you don't get if you don't ask. 5/5 PS forgot to take photo of food but here are 2 of our empty plates which sums up how lover the food is.

Great food choice at good prices

As always food and service were excellent.

Great coffee and food stop really nice food and drinks

The food here is amazing. Thoughtful staff. Amazing service.

Love the tapas! Friendly professional staff. Great place for food!

Always have an excellent meal at Casa del Mar and this last time was no exception. Great service, great food and great value.

Front of house lady phenomenal. So helpful. Food was ace apart from the meatballs. So tasty and fresh. Had to wait a while for a table but very worth it.

Had a lovely meal last night, food was fantastic and reasonable priced, did have to ask where our drinks were hence the 4* for service, would definitely recommend and will be visiting again.

Great place to meet friends and have a wonderful dinner. Good quality of food, big portions and a great price.

We have visited this lovely restaurant a few times, with the last visit being last weekend. Service was great and the selection of tapas that we ordered was throughly enjoyable. The battered king prawns are my favourite! We thought it was great value, and will definitely return.

The food was amazing. The service was good. My only complaint was the price. We went during restaurant week expecting a deal as other restaurants do this all week only to find it was actually only on for a couple of hours and a couple of days during that week. This should be made much more clear

Rude staff. Slow service. Food was alright but years ago use to be better. Charge extra for certain dishes which isn’t clearly labelled. Staff act like they’re doing you a favour when ordering drinks. Overall not worth the money, better service at McDonald’s to be...

Visited casa del mar as part of restaurant week, we booked a table in advance and a deposit was needed. Staff were really nice and friendly. You get to write your tapas numbers on the slip which adds to the experience! We ordered a range...

Great place every time, friendly staff. Lovely food.

Went for my daughters birthday and as usual it was gorgeous x

We've had the 'tapas to go' several times now ... it's excellent value ! Lovely & hot, tasty & fresh ! Friendly helpful staff and quick service too 😋

Great night. There was 24 of us and the service was excellent. The food was delicious and plenty of it. Great atmosphere. Will definitely be going back.

Our first visit and by no means our last. Absolutely faultless. Massive portions of food and everything tasted beautiful. Definitely worth the money.

We visited as we were staying in the marina. Having been to many tapas bars in the uk and overseas this is by far the worst we’ve ever eaten. We ordered Patatas Bravas Something that was supposed to resemble Chorizo in red wine. Garlic mushrooms....

A friend of a friend described this restaurant as the best tapas outside of Spain. It is advisable to book as always full

Food and staff were excellent and I would recommend to anyone

Really happy with last nights meal. Staff very friendly and service prompt and quick. The food was great and we were spoilt for choice. So many different tapas and flovours. great for casual night out. We will for sure be going again - thank you

The Saturday lunch special is 3 tapas for £10.95. Portion sizes differ greatly, some tapas are tiny and some are quite large. I'd say 3 is the minimum you would need, as 2 of my choices were small, luckily I'd got Patatas Bravas to fill...

Really good food friendly staff well worth a visit

First time there absolutely loved it food was unbelievable and the guys who served us was on form 😀 thanks guys

Brilliant service, really delicious food with big portion sizes. They accommodated well for a table of 8. Would definitely recommend, and will be coming back again!

Excellent food piping hot and freshly made outstanding place to eat

Always great food at great prices

I accept it was a busy Saturday but after waiting for over 20 mins we had to flag down a passing waitress and ask for our order to be passed to the kitchen. We ordered only items that were listed as GF but when the halloumi fries came there were bread croutons on them. We didn't make a fuss as clearly the staff were busy and no one at any point came to ask if everything was okay with our meal. At the end of the meal I mentioned this to the waitress. Who, after consultation with the kitchen staff, said that the dishes listed as GF on the menu are only GF if you ask them to be!? Perhaps if someone had actually come to take our order they may have pointed this out or asked about any allergies. Perhaps if someone had asked if everything was alright we might have quickly resolved this. Perhaps dishes should not be on the menu as GF when they're not. Judge a restaurant on 2 things; food and service. Both were sadly lacking tonight!

I took my 10 year old son here for a treat and he loved it. All our dishes were tasty and cooked to perfection, my son especially loved the king prawns with garlic and chilli he said it was the best thing he’s ever had!...

Great staff, fantastic food, myself and my partner took my mother for lunch. Best idea we have ever had. Big portions and taste that was second to none. Would highly recommend going for something to eat to my friends. Definitely will be going again. Shame I live 120 miles away, do you do deliveroo?

Very good food and service, reasonable priced. We enjoyed it very much. We had a selection of 6 tapas dishes which was enough for three people.

Went as a large group to celebrate a retirement . Ordered in advance using menu & prices on website . Food was nice. The man who claimed to be the manager was rude throughout . When a lady in our party asked if we could...
