   We had a wonderful Spanish meal at La Perla! We received excellent service and ate great paella. The restaurant itself is very cool too. It kind of feels like you're in a cellar, but in a good way. Prices are unbeatable too, especially for being in such a touristy area. You couldn't ask for better!

   Delicious tapas and friendly efficient service, we ate inside but there is also a small amount of outdoor seating.

   My partner and I went here for our anniversary, and we couldn’t have chosen a better place. The food and ambiance were amazing. The staff were incredibly attentive and genuinely made our experience. I couldn’t recommend this restaurant enough.

   We sat in the rustic downstairs courtyard as it was still warm spring. We were astonished by the quality of the food and highly recommend at least 6 dishes. Top quality food

   Service perhaps a little bit hap dash at times. Got asked if we wanted the dessert menu after we’d had it, which seems a bit poor form in my opinion. Asked if we wanted water which was served, then a rather large break. Someone then came over and asked if we were ready to order, to which we said yes for food and drink. Very clearly stated that she was only taking the order for drinks, no inclination to get someone else to take the order, so waited a bit longer for that. But with that being said the food was stunning. Nicest olives I’ve had in this country by far and just generally delish. Shame service didn’t match the food but with that being said I’d definitely come again if in Bath

   La Perla is definitely worth a visit. The restaurant itself is beautiful aesthetically and the atmosphere is vibrant. The staff make you feel welcome from the second you step through the door are friendly, polite and attentive. The menu offers a good variety of meat and seafood dishes alongside the classics such as tortillas and croquettes. The actual food is amazing! Well cooked and delicious.

   I always considered this to be one of our favourite restaurants in Bath, but this last visit was rather disappointing. The menu had changed recently and there were very few side order dishes now. Prawns with garlic and chillies were tasty (but no where near as good as usual) and I really wanted some mixed vegetables as a side (but the waitress explained that there are no variations to the menu, which was a surprise to me). Heritage tomato salad was very tasty and the mushrooms with garlic, but I really craved some greens! I'm pescatarian, but my husband had the ox cheeks (were good but too much apple sauce) and chorizo tortilla (which was OK), so all in all not the best experience we had. Service was great and it was midweek so quiet, but when I asked for a small glass of wine (125ml) again the waitress said this was not possible and you could only order the size on the menu. We are VIP card holders so would usually expect a 25% discount, but this didn't seem to be credited properly. We were given approx 15% off, so I didn't bother to argue. But we came out feeling a little rejected, especially as we'd let Frederick the owner know that we were celebrating our anniversary. We did get the best table in the house though, so that was something! Thanks anyway, but wanted to give our honest opinion of our evening.
