The best Paella I ever had

Food: What can I say? The food here is very good! High quality dishes a couple of highlights: gambas al ajillo, pork cheecks, and jamon iberico. I unfortunately was not able to taste the paella that day, but the chef quickly came and talked to us, im sure it’s fantastic. We will come back for sure and the reason why is the excellent food, great prices and chef recommendations. Service: We had a great time we had a table of 4, arrived by closing hour (second to last available time to book - opentable). They quickly gave us a table based on our reservation. Ordered water and drinks fairly quickly and then food. As the plates are ment to be shared we order many dishes to try as much as possible. The food arrived very quick, even quicker than drinks. We waited a few minutes for our drinks after food was server (a first one for me). I definitely think the service was friendly and when asked for help we didn’t have to wait so long. Perhaps being a bit more proactive could offer higher level of service. Atmosphere: The place is fantastic, just on the corner of the street you will see the sign and it’s underground! Great decoration, very warmth and welcoming. Someone on the group recommended a change of tunes, as the music did not aligned with the Spanish vibe, that would certainly add another touch to the restaurant.

The food is good but with a small twist on classical Spanish cruise. I’m very surprised that they do not have pan con tomato (bread, garlic and tomato) ! Also their patatas bravas is different and not to my taste since I prefer the classical way. However as mentioned, their food is good. I can recommend if you are looking for a Spanish touch while in town ! However if you are claustrophobic, I don’t recommend you to go there since the restaurant is down with no windows and low ceiling.
