Last minute dining plans led to us to this charming little bar in Halstead last night. For me it had the perfect atmosphere, and the staff were so friendly, helpful and very attentive (like we were the only ones there). Not being a big eater I absolutely loved the fact that tapas dishes were to share, and there was lots to chose from. I will definitely be going back for some more taste dishes

Very slow service, wrong food served and terrible service (by the male waiter who spent most the time sat at someone’s table when he should have been clearing tables and serving). Food was average at best and they didn’t ask how we would like any of our meat cooked which all came out very rare. That was fine for me but my Mrs doesn’t like blood so ruined hers. atmosphere wasn’t great with moments of no music to then very loud music. Finally to top it off some drunk behind was shouting everything he said like an absolute melon. No discount for the wrong food order, certainly wouldn’t recommend. The response by the owner of my review is fitting to their level of service. Very poor and a desperate attempt to excuse every issue. I visit many restaurants and give fair and honest reviews when they deserve it. The fact the restaurant feel they are not in the wrong for anything is an absolute joke. Yes they told us there was a 20 minute wait for food but we waited 15 minutes of that to receive our drink and was asked for our order twice during this process. In the end we waited half hour, not 20 minutes and regardless if it’s a family members birthday, surely the cusotmer service should still be relevant?? After waiting so long for our food and with the night getting late we couldn’t wait longer for them to cook the correct order. This is why I said I would keep the wrong order and my Mrs would have my course instead. Most restaurants ask how they would like their meat cooked. This was not the case and is something you should maybe start to do! Of course I am not going to pay more for an incorrect dish, if anything we should not have been charged at all for the incorrect dish. I have since read other reviews and though I have no doubt your food and service can be of a high quality, I can only judge your restaurant on my own experience which unfortunately was not a good one. To give a customer a zero rating for being patient, receiving the incorrect order and leaving a slight tip is very unprofessional and maybe take the feedback as something to work on rather than leave such a ridiculous reply.

Such fantastic food and hospitality from the Portuguese owners bringing a slice of their homes carefully considered food and wine to the centre of Halstead. The Tapas comes out of the kitchen fresh, cooked to order, and as staggered servings making the dining experience more social, as well as more focused on the individual dishes- which ups the appreciation of the cuisine!

The bar has a cool interior and good atmosphere, buzzy but not too loud. I have visited here for drinks and snacks 4 times since it reopened with my parents, my partner and family friends and each time has been good fun. The menu looks great and will definitely go back to eat this summer. The drinks are not the cheapest BUT they cost what I expect to pay for a well mixed drink in a wine bar.

These chaps have brought a european feel and cultural dining experience to halstead, what is not to like?. The food is great and daily sourced. Some of these reviews are right its not cheap but cheap is rubbish, its quality food and drink if you want rubbish there are plenty of options in town. Service is great, people need to understand its different now, its not just a wine bar for aging piss heads but a place to eat and relax, just what the town needed. Table service is the norm and they take care of families. Best place in town by a country mile, its not a pub, get over yourselves people.

Was really looking forward to visiting Whispers again, after the fire the town lacked a decent venue.However, this is, in my opinion far short of the previous incantation and certainly NOT a decent venue.The staff are unfriendly and obnoxious, the person behind the bar whom I assume is the manager did whatever he could to avoid eye contact for fear he may have to actually serve someone, instead, he divided his time between talking on his mobile and running to the betting office opposite.We sat at a table to have a drink but was soon made to feel uncomfortable as the tables are apparently for diners, huh, that's a joke the place was empty, or at least it was when we left.Will we return, probably not, the place lacks any sole, my advice to the owner, change your staff and put someone in with some personality or the place will be shut within 6 months.Such a shame.

Have visited Whispers Wine Bar twice since the new people have taken over in November, the new management are unfriendly and don’t really seem interested. The bar area is too bright they need softer lighting and maybe play the music so you can hear it. The actual decor is really nice and it should be a lively friendly welcoming place to drink and eat, Considering it was before the fire damage closed it down. Having been a regular for the past 20 years, Maybe the owner should look at different management.

We visited early Friday evening and were looking forward to experiencing the newly opened Whispers Tapas bar. We ordered drinks ( wine list is good) but they had no olives ( is this really a Tapas bar?) and we were told we couldn’t have any Iberian ham ( which was displayed at the back of the bar) because they were not cutting it for another two weeks. We settled for a plate of cheese and cold meats and ordered bread. The bread turned out to be warmed wholemeal rolls accompanied by olive oil and balsamic vinegar. When we challenged the waiter he started to argue and say that “this is Halstead” and at least the bread was warm. Sorry Whispers I think you’re a venue in need of an identity and better staff.

Husband and I dropped in on a Friday evening around 5pm, reasonably busy with other locals also enjoying a drink. Be warned you must spend over £10 to use bank card and management will not allow you to open a tab, we found this a pain immediately.We sat down at a vacant table and chatted to others, we then made the decision to try the food and I placed an order at the bar. Just before 6pm the waitress started to put reserved notices on ALL the tables and it became apparent that those just drinking at the table had to leave before 7pm. Our food arrived and whilst pleasant, certainly not memorable and we both felt it was overpriced. We finished our food and drink and left around 7pm around the same time as many others, together with the atmosphere. This is our second visit since change of ownership and it has been a disappointment. Whispers was always a friendly wine bar... such a shame management haven’t recognised this.One last complaint, the temperature was chilly, how about using the log stove?

Visited with friends recently. Was very busy but the staff were really friendly and the atmosphere was great. Food was really good and at a very good price. Left rather full and a tad tipsy! Definitely recommend and would visit again!

Disappointing. Went as a walk -in so wasn't expecting immediate service but to be fair they were fairly quick and the food was OK. But when I order a mixed kebab and all I get is meat, no salad despite the pictures on the wall I'm a little disappointed. And my order of houmous which turned out to be rice was just, well. Wrong. Add this to the ongoing and very loud argument behind the counter as I waited and it made for a most uncomfortable experience and I won't be returning. Let me be clear, the food I had was lovely, it just wasn't as advertised and the houmous was rice. I'm sure others will have a better time there.
