Aventura has been on our list for a while, I’m so glad we finally made a reservation! The food was absolutely delicious, and wonderful customer service. We sat at the bar, and everyone that we encountered was so friendly, they took great care of us. Our favorites were Milhojas Bravas (potato pave with garlic aioli), Datiles con Chorizo (bacon wrapped chorizo stuffed dates), and Setas a la Planxa (seared wild mushrooms). They brought “birthday churros” for my husband, they were also fantastic! Can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu items!

Some of the best tapas I’ve had in the US! The menu has a great balance of authentic Spanish vegetarian, meat, and seafood options. The price is a bit high, but definitely warranted for the high quality and delicious plates! Some standouts were the almendras y piña and the gambas al ajillo. I can’t wait to go again and try more dishes!

Paella negre, patatas bravas, and the churros were amazing! Pair this with a Txolina wine and you won’t be disappointed.

Great atmosphere! Details are definitely a priority here. Service was a little slow especially given the number of staff they had.Will go back for the drinks and tapas. Very delicious. The paella was lacking flavor. Most likely will not get that again.

Food is good, but don’t try the vegetarian paella. Our server was new so wasn’t very good. A bit overpriced though.

Our Valentine's day meal was exceptional. If you are getting tapas, two or three per person is more than enough. The honey and cheese flatbread was incredible, as were the grilled prawns and the cod croquettes. Our server was attentive, personal, and knowledgeable.

Nice atmosphere with good service. Looked like they paid attention to details, however, my wife and I were not impressed with our paella. Just seem to chinch on the seafood. Not many shrimp, clams or mussles. Clams we're tiny, like the size of my thumbnail, that's the shell. Pitful. I used to have my paella in Little Havana in Miami and that was a feast. Found one small octopus tentacle. It was dry and leathery. Sorry, for 61 bucks, I won't be returning. I will say the wine selection was tasteful. Maybe go with the tapas and skip the paella.

Aventura is an absolutely wonderful tapas restaurant. The menu is fairly extensive, and it can be somewhat daunting to order. The staff were helpful in explaining some of the items. As this is primarily a tapas restaurant, items are meant to be shared. We had several snd all were excellent. We felt there was one misstep. Too many dishes were brought our at once. We would have enjoyed our experience more if items were brought out only one or two at a time. The other disappointment was the sherry selection. As this is a Spanish restaurant, I would have expected a nice selection of sherries. They had a poor selection of relatively mediocre selection of cherries. I would highly recommend this excellent restaurant for anyone who wants to savor wonderful tapas.

Great selection of tapas and fun atmosphere. Plenty to choose from for vegetarians to be very satisfied. You know a place is good if a simple "tomato bread" called PAN A LA CATALANA can make your mouth water.
