Very overpriced for what is in reality very average tapas and poor service.Some of the dishes were quite nice, although the potions were small (despite it stating otherwise on the menu). They completely forgot to bring us a salmon and Brie dish, which then took a further half hour to arrive and was, to much disappointment to those at the table, inedible.

Had a lovely meal here for 1st time and was very impressed. Service was excellent and so was the cooked to order food. Prices are reasonable and the staff are all friendly and helpful. I'm a wheelchair user and they had no problem finding a place for it once I was seated at the table. Would definitely eat there again.

Cava sangria was very good. Paella was good, a little too big for 2 person

A great place that does authentic Spanish raciones (slightly bigger than tapas)Everything came out fresh, we had a mix of meats, cheeses and seafood. The owner came over and asked us how our meal was which I thought was a really lovely touch and the staff were amazing too!

Lovely food! Had some great paella and tapas! Staff were friendly and helpful! Good size portions as well. Loved my alcohol free sangria!

There is a reason for the low rating.Food was really good, just what we would expect from this restaurant and the majority of staff were very cheery and helpful, however we did have a problem.When booking we were not advised there was a time limit on the table.On arrival we were told it was 7.30 however we were then told 7pm.The staff were great and very kindly moved a table so we could stay another 20 minutes as one of our party who arrived later, due to work commitments, was still eating so we ordered drinks for just a few of us. Ten minutes later we were informed by the person, whom I assume was in charge, in a very impolite manner, that we would not be getting the drinks, the order was void and that we should not have ordered them!!! A dreadful way to speak to customers, a simple I'm sorry but as we are so busy we are unable to fulfil your order would have been better, he may have been busy but that does not excuse him. We had paid the bill so before we left we checked it only to find that the charge for these drinks was not void!!! We did get a refund but we should not have needed to ask for it, surely he should have put a void through on the charge, not just the order.We work locally to this restaurant and will now think twice about going back which is a great pity as we do enjoy the food in Elena's.

We had a great couple of hours at Elena’s today. Service from Andrea was efficient and friendly- as ever. The chilli and tomato sauce with the mussels lifted our spirits on a wet and miserable day.It’s just such a nice place to sit and chat and the music is different, and all the better for it.I don’t know of another restaurant in Glasgow that is so friendly and has such great food at a perfectly reasonable price.Long May it continue!Phil and Jenny xx

I have been dining here for a few years now. The food was always very authentic and exceptionally tasty. You can tell that the ingredients are fresh, particularly the seafood dishes - absolutely my favourite! They also have good Spanish wine and cocktails. My favourite restaurant in West end! Cheers guys. 👍☑️👌

I visited this restaurant today for lunch.Seems all trace and trace and social distancing in place, all staff were wearing masks.Were given a table outside, service was a bit slow.. but to be fair the restaurant was busy, one of our drinks was forgotten and the staff had to be reminded.Food did not come out all at once, so we were unable to share and enjoy... which was a shame... as the food was great, hot and enjoyable.Everywhere seemed clean and tidy, staff were friendly and polite.... would I recommend, yes 100%, will I be revisiting... again yes 100%.
