We Love great Spanish food and have been in search of a good Paella for the longest time and found it here. I can't believe they've been open two years and I haven't made it here until now.
They were so accommodating as we had our mom with us and she a bit limited in her mobility and had a table waiting right near the door but Mom wanted the window and they effortlessly adjusted for us.
We had the hand pulled mozzarella appetizer and it was really tasty and a most unique dish. the breadcrumb toasted cauliflower was a very tasty accent. I would definitely order it again.
The Valencia paella was so perfectly done. I've had Paella in Spain and seek it out wherever i can find it but so many places just cant get it right. If it doesn't have soccarat to me its not paella its seafood with rice. So many restaurants won't make it authentically as they say they get complaints that it is burnt. Good Paella isn't burnt but it is the carmelization of the rice from the evaporation of the cooking liquid infused with Saffron that gives the dish its unique character flavor and texture to the Bomba rice. This is the best I've had outside of Spain and was as good as many that I've tried there. They take a Chicken and Chorizo sausage base and add some top shelf seafood. Ours had PEI mussels some incredibly tender clams as well as three perfectly cooked (ie not over cooked) extremely sweet Gulf shrimp plus some very sweet cherry tomatoes. The unique twist and accent that Chef Tory Miller has added to this is several dollops of house made Garlic Aoli which integrated wonderfully into the dish and added a nice flavor to the dish.
Also they have some very nice wines by the glass at a level that I'm only used to being able to buy by the bottle which is wonderful when you can only have a glass or two. I had a very full body 2015 embruix de Val Llach from the Priorat region that was stellar.
It was worth the trip from Milwaukee and we will be back again. It was an amazing dining experience.
I've seen in a few other reviews people have complained about the service. Ours was excellent. There whenever we needed someone but yet very non intrusive which is another piece of this truly authentic spanish dining experience.
