Dakota killed the dishes, Jessica and Eddie kept our drinks full while at the bar. Food was excellent and must stop when visiting St Louis

I had high hopes after seeing the reviews on this place & looking at the menu. Unfortunately, my experience there was not so good.

To start with, there was a party going on inside, so outdoor seating was the only option. I was okay with this, however, the only available options were seated on a hill which was a bit uncomfortable for the person sitting on the down slope. My friend complained that their cup of water smelled and tasted bad, too-- which is a concern to me about the cleanliness. I did not personally have this issue with my water.

Now, I must say that the service was very friendly and accommodating. I opted for the cauliflower dish with raisins to start. When it came out, the smell was STRONG of vegetable oil reminiscent of some old fried Chinese food. I mean, the cauliflower was seriously swimming in the oil. The smell was offputting, and the taste was just okay. We got the vegetable paella to share, and it was also very oily and nothing to rave about. I did not want to take my leftovers home.

I have my speculations that we came at a bad time because of the party taking place, but for a restaurant in CWE-- I honestly expected better quality especially for the price. I do not think I will be coming back.

Came into town visiting my sister, had dinner and drinks with some friends. It's cozy and a great hangout. Add some older lady come and ask us to quiet down just kind of funny because it was a Friday night, but she didn't really affect our evening. Great food, great atmosphere, they're aoli puts something special on the food.

We booked a reservation for dinner days in advance and when we got to the restaurant they did not even have a table ready for us. The food was honestly mediocre and not authentic to Spanish cuisine. Then to top it off, later that night we got a phone call from an employee stating that we did not pay our bill, even though we had a charge on our credit card. She kept on harassing us saying that there are cameras and she can pull video up showing us what we had to eat. Furthermore, forcing us to give her our credit card information over the phone, even though we explicitly told her that she was mistaken. Finally, after multiple phone calls and receipt proof she accepted our defiance, and said she got the phone number mixed up. Although, after she admitted she was in the wrong she continued to have an attitude with us, even though she harassed us for over 20 minutes on the phone, and was barely apologetic. We will NEVER be back to this establishment! It was honestly very unprofessional and appalling!

Wanted paella so I did some research and came upon this place. Super cute place with outdoor seating. We had the seafood paella, lamb chops, and ribs. I only tried the paella and lamb chops and they were both amazing! Best lamb chops I have ever tried and the sauces that came with it were delicious. Paella was plentiful and tasteful! My boyfriend loved the ribs he said they were tender and sweet. The chefs Dakota and Virgil I believe his name was did a fantastic job! We will definitely be back!

Great food and service for a reasonable price! Split the Paella with my wife and a goat cheese appetizer. Both were delicious.

I came here for dinner on a weekday and it was a pleasant experience. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, the bacon wrapped dates, and the beef tenderloin. All were delicious! Service was friendly but I bit inattentive due to the volume of people there. The outdoor seating was a nice option to have on a beautiful summer evening. Street parking is a bit limited but walking is a non-issue for this cute part of Clayton.
