On a very rainy night Comfortable seat at the bar. Having one of the 3 special on their menu Very professional old school set up great staff of 2 that are always very friendly Mussel fresh and plenty the sole delicious with either a side of rice or broccoli I had the rice. And flan was the dessert It's a go to for a single person dinner romantic one with someone special or larger party's the place is very inviting once inside. Don't let the old outside fool you.

Wonderful lunch out for only $38. The fish was divine; it was stuffed a secret stuffing, with rice and cole slaw to share with your partner.The house salad with good, too, with olives and tomatoes. The restaurant is authentic, with nice waiter service and Spanish music! Try it. You won't be disappointed.

Authentic Española dishes. The staff are attentive, and the ambiance remains tp its true Geography. I had a meal from the special menu (3 course meal), it was very good and saved me some money.

Excellent place to enjoy a quiet and relaxing evening. The food is very delicious, even though their “Valencian” paella is actually rice with things, but not an authentic Valencian paella.The sangri is highly recommended. An excellent tiramisu.

Absolutely terrible! I went here last night with my parents. I had the steamed octopus and grilled salmon. It was tasteless, bland, and a tad too salty. My dad had sole and my mom a paella. They were also disappointed in their selections. I would not go back if someone offered me a free meal there.

Ate here today for dinner after work on a cold, windy and rainy Tuesday night. This was my first time eating Spanish food. I had tried, chose, ordered and ate by starting off the bread with butter first, soup of the day next as an appetizer, then have paella valenciana as my main course and finally had flan for dessert. It was really good and delicious. The service there was really attentive and friendly that I didn't feel rushed about what to choose and pick for the first time. The ambiance of the restaurant was really quiet. I couldn't agree more. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time! :)

Went there last night. They wanted to give me middle but table but I wanted a table on the side, the place wasn't even half full. Made us wait for another table. Ok , no biggie. Ordered cod fish croquettes for an appetizer, waited more than half hour, had to remind waiter. They came plain, no lemon, no sauce. They were pure potato and a hint of fish flavor. My paella valenciana was so salty at first bite, couldn't eat it at all. I told the waiter, but I didn't want to wait again and my mom and husband were already eating. Caldo gallego was watery, not authentic. Croquettes seemed frozen though waiter said they'd been made fresh. Moms fillet of sole seemed like the last piece of the lot, plain, now this was under seasoned. No one came to ask how was the food, did we need more drinks , nada. No discount on my paella either. Flan was watery , a cheap version of flan. I'm Cuban and I know Spanish food. This place was subpar. A lot of non Sp folk eating . They don't know what they are eating is a garbage reproduction of true delicious Spanish cuisine. Will not be back!!!

We were in the mood for Spaniard food. This restaurant was close by we found parking on the side street as we entered we were greeted by hosted and found our seats. The restaurant had a nice bar area and also a large sitting area. Decor and music were paused in time of the late 70's and 80's . I remember listening to Julio Iglesias a couple of times. Was hoping for more of a folkloric music. We got a bottle of crianza red wine ? and opted to the fixed priced dinner. We did get an extra appetizer of figs wrapped with bacon. For dinner I had chilled mussels with a pickled pepper garlic they were tasty. For entree, I was served a paella with chicken sausage and clams. A generous portion. Dessert was a flan. Although I had a nice time. The food was missing authentic flavors.

We enjoyed everything but the food was on the average side. Maybe we did not pick the best options. The appetizers were very good, but then came the Paeilla which was large, but not very good. Lamb chops were dry. Tres leches cake was very good, and so the Sangria. All in all main course was disappointing. The service was very good, and also the setting, decor and acoustics of the restaurant. Better main courses could make it excellent place.Dietary restrictions: Some dishes could be gluten free

We were looking forward to this based on reviews. The soup was less interesting than hot water. The paella seemed like Rice-a-Roni with pepperoni and peas in it.My chicken with cheese and bechamel sauce looked like Chicken Kiev crossed with chicken nuggets from the Schwann man… sorry Schwann’s….I’d say skip it.
