The food and service at this restaurant were fantastic! Andrés was attentive and friendly, and he even called us to confirm our reservation, which was a great touch. Not all restaurants are as attentive to the little details, so I appreciated that. We ordered the meatballs and traditional paella, which were both wonderful. Be sure to come with an empty stomach, though! I also had the red sangria, which was amazing as well. Highly recommend this gem!

I really loved this spot.
It didn’t have near the selection of tapas that I’d been given to expect, so that’s why there’s one star less than 5/5.
However now that you, dear reader, know this, if you go you’ll know not to expect a tapas restaurant.
You will love every bite though!!

Me and my friend were meeting in a restaurant on Richmond road and when we got there the whole block had no power. We decided to take a chance and went into Cadena Restaurant, WOW! It was a great decision. We never had Spanish food so it was out of our comfort zone and was very surprised of our choice of tapas. The food was hot and flavorful. I will definitely be back to try the paella.
