Disappointing. I came in based on reviews and ordered the paella and ceviche. We love paella and we’ve tried them many times in Spain, in different restaurants all over. We even cook paella at home. What they served was far from authentic nor tasty. Way too sour and spicy. We have not had any paella in the US that had the crispy bottom so we didn’t expect that. Unfortunately this paella was rather “saucy”. The ceviche was an ok dish if it was a salad. It’s obviously not may with fresh seafood “cooked” in acid. Just a mix of regular heat-cooked seafood ?. It was a nice looking restaurant. It was funny the wine barrel decor it featured was “product of France” and the drawing on the wall was Venice, Italy ?.

Food was good but the service could’ve been better. Maybe it’s the vibe during the day and at night they’re probably quick to turn the tables. Highly recommend for a casual lunch with family and friends.

This is a very sweet little restaurant. The service was good. The place was clean and neat, but it smelled like Fabuloso and since that is such a distinct outer in a cleaning product, it wasn’t pleasant for me. The food was decent, though on the price was right.

I had the pleasure of dining at Pulpo Tapas and Wine Bar with my family, and it was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, setting the stage for a memorable evening.
We particularly enjoyed the appetizers, which were absolutely excellent! The calamari was perfectly crispy, the octopus was tender and flavorful, the chicken wings had just the right kick, and the shrimp was a delightful treat. Each dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented.
For our entrees, we tried the Traditional Paella Valencia, and it was a standout! The Spanish rice was perfectly cooked, packed with seafood goodness that transported us straight to Spain. The Angus beef sliders were equally delicious—juicy and flavorful. My son enjoyed the Impossible Burger, which was impressively tasty and truly a highlight of the meal!
And let’s talk about dessert! The Spanish churros were a revelation—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, they were the perfect sweet ending to our meal.
The service was impeccable, with our server being both knowledgeable and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed.
If you’re looking for a dining experience that combines exquisite flavors, a cozy atmosphere, and friendly service, look no further than Pulpo Tapas and Wine Bar. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their menu!

We had a great time celebrating my birthday. The live music was a nice surprise and very enjoyable too. Server was friendly and took great care of us. Food, especially the appetizers were tasty . Overall, Pulpo is a fun neighborhood restaurant and wine bar! We will return!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Pulpos yesterday… Server/owner Burak was so friendly and efficient. The food, portions and prices are great! Big fresh salads and the cream of mushroom soup is excellent! Cool decor, awesome sound system and a cute little outdoor seating area available. Great 3 course lunch is available for $25, and I enjoyed a nice individual bottle (or 2?) of bubbly. Perfect afternoon! Can’t wait to come back for dinner! Thank you Pulpos!

Lovely neighborhood gem. We enjoyed our dinner with tasty grilled octopus as an appetizer followed by my turkey burger and my husband's risotto with duck. Both dishes were delicious and plenty. The selection of wines is amazing and I would highly suggest this restaurant to everyone. We will be back. Plus, they have a full lunch special for only $25.00. Can't get better than that!

Our party of 4 had a fabulicious evening at Pulpo! Great variety of scrumptious Spanish/pan-Mediterranean taste treats. Service was excellent, friendly, unrushed. And the wine selections were very well-curated. Salud!

Hip and trendy tapas and wine menu with good selection of both. We shared a special tapas and a flatbread. The flatbread was not as crispy as we would have liked. Perhaps too many toppings? Or they were rushed with a large party in the dining room? The wait staff was very attentive, and we enjoyed the evening.
We stopped here for some tapas and wine on our way home & thought it was wonderful. Truly excellent service - and the food was delicious. Definitely recommend.

We ordered a Seafood Linguine and Niman Ranch Rib Eye Steak. I LOVE the food presentation. For the Seafood Linguine in spicy marinara, I requested for them to tone down on the spiciness. It was okay, I could taste a little bit of butter, mild spice and sourness, and the seafood was soft and cooked just right. For the rib eye steak, they won't ask you how you want your steak done. Nevertheless, the steak came out delicious. The service was superb. The staff were very attentive and always checked if we needed anything. As for the atmosphere, it was very lively during our meal as there was a birthday celebration happening on the group next to us. I can barely hear what my companion was saying. The staff couldn't hear our orders. But maybe on a different day, the place might have been a little more quiet. I don't mind though. The inside of the restaurant looked romantic and tastefully decorated.

We had another great meal at Pulpos! My husband and I split the house salad, bbq flatbread bread appetizer and the seafood special entree. Salad fresh and full of goodies. Flatbread had a lot of chicken, peppers etc, ended up boxing half of it. The seafood specials are always very good and Saturday night was as delicious as the others we've had before. And, the presentation was beautiful! It was grilled scallops and shrimp on bamboo skewers over jasmine rice, so good.
