Visited for the first time this evening and really impressed. Simple but classy decor in a cellar setting lends itself to an authentic Mediterranean vibe. Staff are all friendly and polite but also calm and discreet, achieving that perfect fine balance between too little attention and way too much. Menu is broad enough to offer options for all tastes but not overwhelming, very reasonably priced and all cooked to perfection. And when they say 3-4 tapas per person is about right they aren't joking. One tiny niggle? A tapas house without carajillos in the coffee options on the dessert menu? Have a word with yourselves!

We were blown away by the quality, presentation and taste of the food. The table service was excellent and the décor made us feel like we were on holiday, especially since we sat outside on a sunny day. It’s less busy early on a weekend evening, so you’ll have a lovely quiet dinner.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere, really good tapas and excellent service. 5 of us had 3 or 4 dishes each and they were all so delicious. Good selection for all of us, including meat eaters and vegetarians and great value for good sized portions. Service was friendly and helpful and to finish it off, the white rioja was just perfect. Looking for any excuse to return!

Very disappointed. We have been going to this restaurant for many years (including under the previous ownership before they moved back to Madrid). I booked a table online for a wedding anniversary and mentioned this again when I received a call back to confirm the booking. My exact words were 'please could I have a quiet romantic table for 2'. I wanted to book for 7pm but was told that nothing was available until 8pm so we agreed to the later booking. We turned up just before 8pm and as soon as we walked in we were 'hit' with the volume of noise from a table of around 14-16 young girls. They weren't just talking, they were shouting! The waitress tried to sit us at a table directly behind this group of girls and we had to ask to be moved further towards the corner of the restaurant. Obviously my request for a quiet romantic table was totally ignored. We decide to 'tough it out' and ordered drinks but within minutes, the noise level had reached a point where we couldn't hear ourselves speak. We left our table and told the waitress we were leaving (and could we have our £20 deposit back - oh yes, they ask you to pay this when booking!). Rather than receiving an apology, the staff really didn't care at all - we even paid for our drinks we had barely touched! Note to the owner - 1. if you're going to book in large noisy groups then please put them on the back wall of the restaurant away from other diners. 2. When people make bookings and ask for a 'quiet table' at least let them know that there are 'large groups' booked in and that it could get noisy. 3. Tell your staff that without customers, you don't have a business! Treat customers with a bit more respect!!! Having recently returned from Andalucia and having experienced great service and fabulous food from all the restaurants we visited, it's a shame that this restaurant can't look after customers in the same way. No more referrals to friends from me I'm afraid. You need to take note.

Very poor service, slow and missing few taps from our order. Asked for the desert menu and they forget about us...well already forget about that. The tapas was ok but not the best. The atmosphere and room decorations are very appealing. Visited this restaurant a few years ago, previous name" El Castizo" was absolutely stunning. At the moment, not the same. Sorry but doesn't worth the price/quality.

What a great place! Delicious food, friendly staff, lovely restaurant. We had a superb time, thank you Viento De Levante.

My very first restaurant meal after coming out of lockdown. I was blown away by the flavours and deliciousness of the food. The staff were very welcoming and ensured social distance measures were in place when seating us and other diners. A real find and so pleased it was here i had my first post lockdown dinner.

This review is for Chichester. The food (we had a wide selection of tapas) was excellent (including plates & ciabatta bread both warmed. Rarely the case these days). Flavours and cooking first class. We sat on small terrace outside as weather was ok. Pleased we were able to because the indoor "cavern" is, in my opinion, well-overdue a refurb, dingy and slightly oppressive. To summarise: very good food but internal ambience needs improvement (as do steep external steps).

Surprisingly good, Grilled Sardines delightful, Hummus tasty, Whitebait awesome and bread was fantastic this year....even better.,. highly recommend

Absolutely incredible food!!! Such a beautiful restaurant, really gorgeous decor and location with beautiful authentic food. The Tapas banquet we had was just amazing I cannot recommend this place enough! :)

Excellent food, really good quality ingredients and put together perfectly. Service was perfect. Sangria was really tasty. Highly recommended! I wonder what the history of this building is, I can't find anything on the internet.

Had a wonderful meal here this evening. Delicious food and plenty of variety on the menu. Everything we chose tasted different and the flavours were lovely. Will definitely be going back!

This restaurant is a hidden gem tucked away underground in a cellar close to the theatre cinema. Difficult to find but once you do you can indulge in beautifully prepared tasty tapas all at a very reasonable price. The staff are very helpful and bring their Spanish, Turkish & Argentinian advice to assist your choices from the extensive menu. Go seek it out!

Incredible food and delicious wine, one of the best tapas places I've been to - super fast service and everyone was very polite.

Lovely little gem. Wonderful food and nice relaxed and authentic atmosphere. Great service and good value for money. A little difficult to find but worth the effort!

Good sized portions, very attentive staff, delicious food and wine, reasonably priced. Only visited at lunchtimes so atmosphere not busy but planning an evening visit soon. Just lovely.

What an amazing gem of a restaurant 😊. Food was phenomenal, cocktails outstanding. Staff were accommodating. But our server was initially reserved, but we continued to be polite & grateful. She eventually relaxed & warmed up 😎. Thank you for a great experience.

Can't belive our luck that we stumbled on such an exceptional but unassuming gem! Having visited Chichester for the weekend my husband and I were looking for a place to stop for lunch. As tapas is a favourite we Googled for a local spot and Viento De Levante popped up. A little out of the centre of the town (about a 5-10 min walk) we found the restaurant tucked away on a multiuse commercial site. Located in the basement, the restaurant itself is situated in a small but wonderfully decorated, vaulted ceilinged hideaway. You can imagine it being like a Speakeasy in 1930s America. Not big but certainly big enough the restaurant offered both indoor and outside tables. Service was impeccable and we were shown to our table on arrival. Water was brought to the table and drinks order taken. The menu is a lovely mix of authentic tapas and Mediterranean dishes. As lunch, we were conservative with our order. When the food arrived the flavours were magnificent - so many layers and textures. Really amazing lunchtime treat at a reasonable price. Would highly recommend!

We visited Chichester for the weekend and had a fantastic meal here. The staff were lovely and the food was amazing, plus it was great to have such a good selection of vegetarian dishes. We will definitely be back next time we're in the area.

Sweet little place with great staff and nice atmosphere. The food let it all down terribly. Almost all of the tapas we chose was from frozen, and was either not good or strange and crumbly and dry. We realised we could do better if we made it ourselves, and that's when you know it's no good. A bottle of wine with a comic sans label cost us £30 and was pretty terrible too.

Lovely cellar but not much atmosphere. Very poor service. Took forever to get the pitta bread. A second bear order was mistaken by one of the waitresses who brought us mussels and then confronted us saying we will have to pay it anyway as we requested and she could not afford it as she works to support her daughter. This situation spoiled the evening, we all agreed to pay for the dish but we felt the management of this restaurant is horrible. We were not charged at the end but we had a very unnecessary unpleasant moment. The food was nice though

Lovely atmosphere, yummy food, good portion sizes, great service. Perfect place to go for date night, or with family. Didn't have a dessert but had a Chocolate Martini and I recommend trying it as it was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to visit again.

Really yummy Tapas. Highly recommend. lovely different place with Spanish holiday theme.
