Bota Tapas & Paella Bar offers a delightful dining experience with its innovative and delicious tapas, as well as its standard but well-executed paella. The restaurant boasts an attentive service team and a nice ambiance, making it a great pre-theater or post-theater spot for drinks and snacks. Customers praised the textures, tastes, and presentation of dishes like grilled octopus and smoked oysters, while the seafood paella was noted to lack the expected seafood broth flavor. The atmosphere is lively and busy, especially during weekends or big events like conferences, but it remains a pleasant place to relax and enjoy good food. The menu features a variety of tapas and several types of paella, including seafood paella, with some dishes like lamb chops and bacon-wrapped dates standing out as favorites. The food is served attractively, and service is generally excellent, making for a memorable experience. Prices are reasonable, with a typical meal for two around $135, including drinks, tapas, and paella. Customers also appreciated the friendly staff and the possibility of personal attention from the chef or owner, enhancing the overall vibe. While some dishes like mojitos may not be recommended, the overall experience remains enjoyable for tapas and paella lovers.
