Mary's Wine & Tapas Restaurant in North Somerset

Great apple crumble. Quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Helpful staff. Recommended.

Really lovely place to share a tapas and a drink, great live music, and atmosphere. Super friendly staff.

Would have been 5 stars all round but the wine wasn't bought up to the table in the bottle but in a jug and wasn't asked if if we would like try it first.

An oasis of peace and quiet on a very warm day.

Lunch time treat for us today, 2 hours just flew. Lovely food, we tried a selection of their tapas. Thoroughly enjoyed them and, although totally satisfied, had to squeeze in their delicious take on Eton Mess...very yummy!

Just a lovely place, great food, calm vibe and good service, been several times now and always great.

A first visit for us. Is was early and quiet but the service and atmosphere were divine. Enjoyed some lovely wine. Was too early for food!

Whipped feta and mushroom arancini to start, paella for mains and sorbet to finish, absolutely delicious! Highly reccomend these items.

BRO LOVES TAYLOR SWIFT but amazing service

Just love coming here. Got to sit in the pink chairs. Lol. I always order the same food and drink, but always enjoy it. Staff always friendly and helpful. Will be back soon.

Lovely bar, today we had a fab hot coffee and tea. Friendly staff and good atmosphere

Love this place. Great food and entertainment. Have been going here for years.

Just popped in for a coffee and ended up having lunch, outstanding and dog friendly to boot!

This is such a lovely place. The smell of fresh coffee welcomes you in. We went for lunch on a quiet Tuesday. The fish pie is a spictured in the other reviews. Piping hot with large pieces of white fish and whole prawns in a creamy sauce topped with buttery mash. The boeuff Borg was also delicious with loads of wine rich gravy. Would definitely recommend. They also didn't mind our two dogs coming in! Result!

We had a lovely meal at Mary's last night. Great food, relaxing atmosphere and very friendly staff. Lisa our waitress was particularly good, her customer service skills stood out.

Very nice to have something on a Spanish theme, we had a selection of tapas. It was so good. Need to return to tackle the main menu next. Great atmosphere and vibe in this lovely restaurant. Service was spot on.

What a lovely place. Delicious food, friendly service, and reasonable prices. Live music on a Tuesday night was an added bonus.

Great place for a drink and tapas. If I had one complaint, they were a bit mean with the bread on the 'artisan bread plate' 5 very small slices for £3.50. 😕

Unexpectedly nice place. Thanks, Late Friday booking accepted. Excellent choice of food, fusion options with Spanish twist. One of the best fish pies of last few years.

My friend said it used to be very good but we were very disappointed. the cod croquettes had very little fish in them and the cauliflower cheese was just cauliflower in a white sauce with just a bit of cheese on top. Also the 'bread ' that was £3.95 was just a slice of tasteless toast that we discovered when we mentioned it when we left it was the gluten free. Delivered by mistake

This marks our third visit to Mary's, primarily for the music, which remains the highlight of our experience. The musicians and the overall ambiance are truly exceptional, and the service consistently meets our expectations. Regrettably, the food falls short, both in terms of flavour and presentation. When we think of tapas, we envision fresh, vibrant Spanish dishes, but the reality was quite different. The dishes we ordered didn't live up to this expectation. While they were acceptable, there is definite room for improvement. If we had seen photos of the tapas before ordering, we might have made different choices. Typically, tapas are known for their simplicity, freshness, and deliciousness, but here, the calamari was deep-fried in a style reminiscent of onion rings, and the cheese selection felt basic in both quality and presentation. Among the choices, the olives stood out as the most enjoyable. Our experience with the main courses was also underwhelming, and we would encourage the restaurant to explore more culinary options, as well as offer the feedback to the chef. Additionally, there's room for improvement in the presentation and etiquette associated with wine 🍷. It's customary, when a non-house wine is ordered, to open the bottle at the table and offer at least one person a taste before serving. Unfortunately, on several occasions, we selected a non-house wine, and it arrived at our table in a jug. We never saw the bottle, had the chance to taste it, or witnessed the staff opening it. The jugs used were more reminiscent of milk jugs and not the customary way to serve wine. This aspect drew comments from everyone at our table, and addressing this issue could enhance the appreciation of customers when purchasing a bottle of wine. Most significantly, my husband, who has celiac disease, had a severe reaction after consuming what was purported to be gluten-free food at Mary's. We had specifically called to inquire about gluten-free options before making the reservation, and we also informed our waitress about his dietary needs. Despite these precautions, cross-contamination occurred, and he fell ill. This is a serious concern as it poses a significant health risk for individuals with celiac disease. It might be wise for Mary's to reconsider offering gluten-free options unless they can guarantee the prevention of cross-contamination. This experience has left my husband and his celiac community apprehensive about revisiting the bar, which is unfortunate, as the establishment holds great potential.

We felt that the portions were very small and that they had decreased in size since previous visit. At about £6 or £7 per tapas dish, we were quite disappointed. The manchengo dish was a joke ...had 4 thin slices of the cheese; the mushroom arancini dish was 3 very small balls; the chorizo dish was no more than 9 tiny bits of chorizo and the other tapas dishes were similar. Wouldn't recommend it for tapas.

Popped in at the last minute and the staff were kind enough to find us a table. Good all round.

Love food and service was prompt and friendly. Decor is gorgeous and Mary's is an asset to the Hill Road collection. Only disappointment was most other customers had left by 9:15 pm which reduced the atmosphere!

Excellent little restaurant, highly recommended, had many good evenings here with consistently good food, drink and service.

Great food and wonderful atmosphere

The paella tasted wonderful .. but it's not authentically made with a paella pan and with a socarrat.

Great place and small friendly. Lovely tapas and wine. Well worth a visit.

Service was poor, almost non existent. No-one asked us how our food was, during or after our meal, and took a very long time to clear our plates. We had the chicken and chorizo paella which had very little flavour and the rice was so overcooked that is was just mush. The wine selection was minimal, they really should not call themselves a 'wine bar', the options in Vintage and Vine over the road are much better.

Had really loud live music. Food was just ok.

Lovely little restaurant with nice staff and decent food.

We had an excellent lunch. It was a Thursday but nearly every table was taken. It’s easy to see why as the food and service was excellent. There is a good selection of tapas, mains and puddings

Was a pleasure to have lunch here before flying home. The food was delicious and the service was great.

Excellent surroundings and service. Lovely coffee.

What a lovely place, the food was absolutely gorgeous, the staff were really friendly and efficient and the whole restaurant had a lovely laid back atmosphere. It was full when we were there last night but it wasn't noisy at all. You don't seem to get good tapas anywhere these days but this was top notch! Highly recommended!!! :)

Went here for an early evening meal after a recommendation from a local shopkeeper....wow! Very welcoming, stunning decor complementing the original pharmacy shopfitting. They even have the old leather bound prescription books! The food was excellent and reasonably priced. In future we will always make the effort to eat here when in the area. Thoroughly recommend 👌.

Good food. Good atmosphere good service

Mary's has a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff, we have been there several times, the tapas are very small for the price, a friend was astonished when his chicken dish arrived, a few meesly bits of chicken, almost £15 forv3 rather insignificant tapas, be more generous and not so greedy .

Really nice all round. Tapas very tasty if not especially authentic.

Opened up especially for a wedding party. Staff were fantastic, some of the best customer service I've received or seen. Food was right on point. Plenty of choice and not one unhappy person on my table of 10. Will definitely consider this place for an event or meal again

Great food, excellent staff, good value, 2nd time here, looking forward to 3rd

I always love going to Mary’s, the food is amazing, staff are friendly and it is such a relaxed atmosphere. I would highly recommend the tapas and the fruit crumble is superb. Thank you to the whole team I will be back for more soon.

I have strolled past this restaurant so often over the years on my way to the seafront or off to meet friends, Every time I've looked in at its warm, cosy, elegant and busy interior and reminded myself that I have to see what it's all about.. Tonight, I did. Lovely people, a sophisticated though unstuffy coziness, friendly service, reasonable prices, and wonderful food. And did anyone say "white chocolate rice pudding"?

Really lovely lunch here! Lots of gluten free options even for my husband who is gluten free and vegetarian. Lovely decor and really friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Excellent service. Our waitress, casey was extremely professional. The atmosphere was perfect and the food was lovely. A mixture of tapas and main meals. Very good value. I would highly recommend and will return

We had an evening meal for the two of us, we both had the Paella and drinks of wine, beer & coffee, very friendly & a lovely evening.

Nice atmosphere and good service, food did not disappoint but neither excelled, perhaps best described as "safe" some dishes portions verging on small. One toilet for 30+ guests is a drawback for the user and the guests seated next to the queue for the toilet.

Had tapas on a Tuesday lunchtime. Food was outstanding, really tasty. Service was efficient and friendly too. Only gripe is the dust! Not very clean. Even the cutlery had a couple days worth on it!

Great food, comfortable atmosphere and very reasonable. Will definitely go again.

Great food, great service but sitting by the door marred the experience with a cold draught every few minutes! We left early !

Delicious food and drink, great service and atmosphere

Really great evening. Lovely venue. The staff were amazing.

Delicious lunchtime paella. Lovely service & friendly atmosphere

Lovely evening with friends and family.

Prompt service, great food, lovely ambience!

Lovely atmosphere but food not so good. Normandy chicken uninspiring and French beans not cooked properly.

First visit and was very impressed! Great food, good value, good portions, service and atmosphere were great too. Will definitely go back. Thank you.

Didnt eat food this time but the service was great , staff was great too. Fab atmosphere , cosy surroundings . Look forward to next time .

Great food with a lovely atmosphere and nice staff.

Wonderful experience. Decor is exquisite. Tapas were yummy and reasonably priced at circ £5 a dish. I treated myself to a 175ml glass of champagne for £10 and it came in a beautiful glass with a really long stem. Lovely touch. Red wine to die for. Oh and great staff. Other restaurants should take note. This is how you do it. Can't wait to come back. Thank you Mary's.

Had a lovely time, staff attentive and food delicious. Will be back!

Had my sister's 60th birthday at MARYS IT WAS AMAZING the staff were just great and so friendly Totally recommend the Beef Bourguignon, delicious Have booked again WW

Lovely surroundings, helpful friendly staff. Good variety of foods available and an amazing bar.

Great service and food. Plenty of options for coeliacs too. Loved it.

We were on a short break in Somerset and visited Clevedon for the first time. We loved the town and the shops on the same road as Mary's (also the pier of course, but that's a separate review!). We went in for a morning coffee - well actually we had a beer instead as the selection was too tempting not to. Sat at a table with a wonderful view into the garden and beyond with glimpses of the sea. We booked to return in the evening and chose from the early evening menu. Everything was delicious, the portions much larger than expected for the price and the service was faultless. Worth going to Somerset for!

Enjoyed a lovely relaxed lunch. The food and service were both excellent. The building has been sympathetically converted from a traditional Pharmacy into a beautiful restaurant with a lovely ambience. I would highly recommend.

Lovely food and friendly service

Lovely food and drink and atmosphere. Little bit of Spain or France in Clevedon

Always my go-to place for a bite to eat and a natter. Only 4 stars as the potion sizes seem to have reduced a bit but guess that's just a sign of the times..

Only went in to charge my phone really nice friendly staff comfy chairs good choice on the menu and prices i will definatly go back there when i have some cash

Amazing venue with great live music and delicious food. Many cheesy tapas to choose from too. Atmosphere on a Tuesday night was fab.

Lovely little find on an impromptu visit to Clevedon. Stylish interior, friendly staff, delicious food. Will definitely visit again if in the area and would recommend a visit.

Had a brilliant evening at Marys..amazing food,brilliant service..perfect evening❤ Thank you x

What a beautiful hidden gem this is. We traveled down from Surrey for a wedding that coincided with our anniversary so booked Mary’s a few months ago. The restaurant is beautifully laid out, the decor is perfect and the staff very attentive. I’m heavily pregnant and was made to feel very comfortable. Then there is the food!!! The food was honestly the best we had in a long time. We chose a few tapas dishes to start and then shared the paella for main. My fella has a big appetite. There was a big selection of drinks, I only wish I could have tried a few Gins. My partner had bottled beer. Pricing was reasonable too. I personally would have paid a lot more. I will definitely recommend to others

Delicious food, a great atmosphere, wonderful service. An all round excellent experience - we will be back as soon as we can!

We found this absolute gem by accident. Such a gorgeous beautiful wine bar

Visited on several occasions for lunch, tapas and drinks. Service is always great and food is lovely.

Wonderful food, atmosphere and entertainment. All in all, a lovely evening. Recommend you try

Great place for a coffee, they were fully booked for lunch, lovely atmosphere great service...

Great eating place. Nice food, good service from the team and good location too. Really enjoyable visit.

Good selection of Tapas, nice atmosphere

Great food and great service. A decent selection of tapas available. One of the few places out there that bring water to your table without asking.

A lovely atmosphere with great food and good selection of drinks. All priced very reasonably. Four of us ordered a number of the tapas dishes and shared them between us, they were sll delicious and the right size as a tapas dish. This was the second time we've been there and would happily go back when we're next in Clevedon .

Great food and friendly service and atmosphere

Been a few times with friends for drinks in weekday evenings, always cozy and friendly staff, lots of wine on display, it's always seems busy, we like it have been several times.

Lovely restaurant with a great view of the ocean.

Fantastic food, drinks and service.

Really enjoyed this cosy restaurant. Food was wonderful, service was fabulous. Decor was eclectic. Will definitely go back.

Food was fantastic and the staff were quick and lovely too! Highly recommend!

Unfortunately, after a lovely experience the first time we visited - this time we were disappointed. The food service was slow (other diners receiving their food before us) and the tapas came out at different times - the last dish arriving as we had almost finished. Admittedly we should have refused it, but we politely paid our bill and left without saying anything.

Delicious tapas with my sister. Friendly and excellent service. A lovely Sauvignon wine! Superb ambience. I'll definitely visit again. 😁

Great food, great service very relaxed dinning

Nice place with pleasant ambience. Good helpful staff and dog friendly... I'll be back.

It was a 70 th birthday celebration Lovely light lunch . Staff efficient and polite

Lovely glass of savvy blanc. Very good lager .plus a bag of crisps.. £14 was a bit of a shock..but Lovely wine bar.

Absolutely beautiful meals ,home cooked gourmet cuisine,I had the fish pie ....thought I'd died and gone to heaven ,atmosphere calm and friendly staff wonderfull and welcoming ,would thoroughly reccomend

Beautiful food, wonderful pudding, lovely staff, beautiful young lady in Doc Martin's... great service

Great atmosphere, fine wines and tasty tapas. Thank you Mary, we'll be back!
