First time here Came in for my birthday the service was excellent! The food was absolutely delicious , I definitely recommend this restaurant
I went here with two friends recently, as they accommodate gluten free and dairy free meals well.
Our server was very kind. The food was 50/50, We ordered the tortilla and dip for our starter. The guacamole and salsa were delicious. My friends ordered empanadas and a crab croqueta (not pictured), - they didn’t have the crab, so they (with approval from my friend) made it with a type of shrimp. Unfortunately neither of them liked their meals, the croquetas were undercooked and the empanadas didn’t have much flavor. They took the empanadas off the bill and we ordered the charcuterie board instead. That had a good selection of meat with mediocre cheese. I ordered the oysters and they were good. Overall the food was a little disappointing, not sure if I’d return.

I made a reservation at 8pm last friday for myself to primirily watch the flamenco performance and of course I was going to order a drink and a tapa, but when I got there one of the waiters asked me if I was going to watch the show or seat and eat (because at the moment I was talking to the dancer and guitarist) I told him I came to watch the show so just like that he told me "oh well,this is a restaurant, and there is a couple that also made a reservation to eat and took my table". I went first at 6:30 pm without reservation and he told me I needed one so I made one for 8pm and came back and he took my table.....terrible, of course I will never come back.
When you host events like this you should promote a cover fee, post that you need a reservation with minimum charge (I'm still a customer even if I come on my own and this thing are not stablished)and you should consider to train your staff to respectfully treat costumers and avoid this situations to happen again. Very disrespectful and denigrating. The way the waiter talked to me was uncalled and I didn't confronted him because I'm not a confrontational person but when he took the table that I reserved because a couple was going to consume more than I was........awful.....Who does that? Please apply suggestions when you host events in your restaurant and train your staff

My husband and I chose to dine at Cadena Restaurant & Tapas Bar to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary. We absolutely loved the seafood paella and the pork belly. The seafood paella was cooked to perfection and had so much flavour. The service and atmosphere were amazing. We absolutely love this family run restaurant. We will definitely be back for dinner and hope to try other options on the menu!

We loved our experience at Cadena! We ordered the seafood paella (ahead of time) and it was to die for. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We will definately be back to try the tapas and desserts. Highly recommend this place.

We ate paella, rabbit, oxtail, leg of lamb (I forgot to take a photo, only a bone was left) and oysters. The oysters are average, the others are delicious, just dry. Fat people should not sit on the sofa, especially if two people are on one side, it will be too crowded

Second time here and I’ve had the empanadas both times. Downright incredible.
Had the braised oxtail, patatas bravas and this broccoli dish that had roasted garlic sprinkled throughout. Absolutely elite combo. They were the perfect match and all complemented each other.
I think our server was Ezio. Fantastic service. Everything was very nice and top class. Telling everyone and anyone about it.
