"The atmosphere in the restaurant was fantastic. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and shown to our table. The lighting was dim, creating a cozy ambiance, with candles on each table. An old black-and-white film was playing on the wall behind the bar, which captivated our attention, along with unique handmade birds crafted from spiked wire suspended from the ceiling. The tables were thoughtfully arranged to allow for intimate conversations, minimizing distractions from surrounding noise.
Our waiter, Daniel, provided exceptional service. When we placed our food order, he explained the Tastecard benefits we could use, giving us 2-for-1 on all tapas. We were torn between the Coconut Quinoa Curry and a lamb dish, so we sought his recommendation. He thoughtfully provided various reasons for each option and considered our previous selections to suggest what would pair best.
Going above and beyond, Daniel brought us the Coconut Quinoa Curry even after we had decided on the lamb dish, saying that since we were indecisive, he thought we might enjoy trying it. This was a lovely gesture that added to our dining experience. The food was excellent and arrived promptly after we ordered. All the tapas dishes were served together, offering us a delightful variety.
Throughout the evening, Daniel was very attentive, checking on us several times to ensure we were satisfied. Thanks to our Tastecard savings, we ended up ordering seven tapas dishes (including the complimentary one) and our total bill came to about £20 for both of us! We were genuinely surprised by the quality of the food for such a reasonable price.
We will undoubtedly return to Sant Yago because of the remarkable service and the high quality of the food. We highly recommend dining at Sant Yago!"
