They forgot about us when we were seated outside. Our food took at least 45 minutes to come and came at random times. Everything was an incorrect temperature and they also brought us the wrong drinks initially. Highly doubt I'll be back.

Really great food. Nice vibe. I made a mistake with my reservation but Carol took care of it a saved my night. She is wonderful.

It was a pre matinee lunch and we had plenty of time to enjoy our meal including dessert! We had tapas (shrimps, octopus, pimientos and pan con tomates) sandwich (jambon and manchego with side salad) and olive oil cake to share and we were properly stuffed. Our server Carla was friendly, helpful and engaging raising the whole experience. I was happy to know that Boqueria was still a reliable standby.

Our reservation for the evening of April 8th was made weeks in advance. I received a text message the day before our reservation to confirm we were attending to which I replied and confirmed. However, when we arrived for dinner we were told we did not have a reservation and there was no table for us. After sharing my OpenTable confirmation number we were given a table and told we had 45-minutes to eat before we had to leave. This was an anniversary dinner and very disappointing. I have booked this restaurant for business lunches/dinners previously and now have doubts about doing so in the future. The food is great and the wait staff is attentive but none of that matters if your reservation isn't honored.

We won't go back. Food is plain to mediocre, the Happy Hour menu is extremely limited, one of the front of the house crew moved the table next to us so close to us that we couldn't get out on that side and two of the three of us had to move down the bench and shimmy out the other side. Service was slow. Frittata served stone cold. No wonder it came out so fast! They clearly had already made it and it had been sitting out God knows how long, got stone cold and they brought it out like that. When I asked them about that, they said, "It's supposed to be served room temperature." WHY? Since when is a food item with eggs as main ingredient served room temp? And I told them mine was NOT room temp, it was cold! It took them forever for them to bring out a new one. Worst of all, despite slow service, they rushed us out immediately AFTER giving my husband a beer. The front of the house staff and servers apparently do not communicate at all. You don't serve a beer and then tell people they have to leave because there are reservations. We said fine, take the cost of the one beer off the bill and we'll leave right after that. Took forever for that staff person to finally stop talking (waste of time) go up front, adjust bill and bring it to us. If it was so important for us to leave quickly, why did he waste so much time continuing to stand at our table and blab?

We were a party of 3 at 430 on a Saturday afternoon. Ordered drinks with limes, they brought lemons. Asked again for limes - brought us a plate of lemons. Ordered 2 appys, they brought one but charged us for two. Worst of all: they neglected to point out the AUTOMATIC 18% gratuity, we tipped 20% on top and they never said a word.

I’m not happy with how things went on here today. I was so looking forward to trying the place out for the 1st time. I ordered a bowl, it never came until I decided to cancel my order cause I waited for 30min+ for a bowl ??♀️. I liked my drink that also had a long wait time to get to me.
They did apologise for the poor service though, and I’m grateful for that. I guess I’ll try the place again since I wanted to try out the food so bad. I’m hoping for a better experience next time ?

Very pleasantly surprised when I happened to try this place for a work lunch. Service was very friendly and fast. Food was really very good - all our tapas were tasty and well balanced. Would certainly visit again

Good wasn’t great but it was a good vibe with good service
I used to love this place, but my recent experience was deeply disappointing. The reception was disorganized and unprofessional. After informing the hostess that I was waiting for a table, I was taken to the bar near the kitchen after a 20-minute wait. I had to remind her again about my request, only to wait an additional 40 minutes before being seated. When I was finally given a table, it was crammed into a corner with barely any space between tables, so close that I could feel the presence of the next table encroaching on mine. This is not the level of service or ambiance I remember. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning.

Paella was really bad. Some of other tapas were ok. Not worth the hype.
