"This restaurant DOES know seafood and their paella was great. It was my first time ever that I can taste seafood fragrants, seasoning and moisture in paella. Clamps, neritic squid, cuttlefish are perfectly cooked while flavors are reserved in the sauce which surrounding the rice. Their cesar salad was also great. Generous sauce with shreddered cheese. Pan fried bacon on top. Tomato with strong tomato flavor. Everything was well balancing. Service was very friendly and english speaking was very easy. Love the way they serve your food. Paella divide into your plate to make great presentation. Love it. :-)"

"AMAZING PAELLA! We ordered the meat paella (pork and chicken). The wait was a bit long but man was the food delicious! Hands down the best paella we’ve ever had! The portions were very large (good for 3 or even 4 people) and it was filled with meat! We also had a fun conversation with our waiter which was the icing on the cake"

"I had the grilled fish from their lunch special and it was excellent. The salad was also fresh and delicious. This restaurant really knows seafood — it was the first time I could truly taste the natural fragrance and seasoning of the dishes. The service was very friendly, and it was easy to communicate in English. I also loved the way the food was served. Overall, a wonderful experience — I loved it! :-)"

"We are staying near by. It is a rainy night, I had looked at the website before but had kind of forgotten about it. I decided tonight at around 8pm to see if they had room, i called and asked in English, they took my name and said they had room for the 3 of us. I had the flattened chicken breast with vegetables all cooked on the 'parilla' (grill). Delicioso! House Vino tinto.. and a terrific tomato with onion salad.. added balsamic and oil and salt and pepper and it was amazing. My friends.. clams, duck, pasta... Everyone easily said it was one of the best meals of our trip.. perfect. not too expensive and a lot of food. Loved it.. Hang with locals and get it. Thank you for your hard work managing a full service restaurant and making my trip even better."
