| - I recently tried out this Tapas establishment expecting to be hungry 15mins. after I ate. This was not the case. I am not usually a fan of Tapas for this reason, too little food too much money.
We started out with an Artichoke appetizer which was really just one little square of an Artichoke mix atop a slice of bread. I ordered a nice Malbec but tried the Red Sangria and wish I had ordered that for the entire meal, it was delightful.
For our entree we had the Paella Royal, Sliced chorizo, Croquettes and Fiery Potatoes. This was my first Paella but I know how the dish is made so it wasn't a total surprise. I have to say, I avoided the baby Octopus and Prawns because they just freaked me out. I'm used to my Octopus wrapped in sushi rice so there's a bit of a disconnect and I don't like beheading my meal before eating it. Overall, the Paella was delicious but again, this is my first order of it. The vegetables were cooked perfectly as was the various meat in the dish. The pork rib in the meal did lack some actual Pork so that was a slight disappointment. The sliced Chorizo tapa was smaller and sliced thinner that what I was expecting, think Prosciutto. It was good and we still didn't finish it so I suppose it doesn't matter that it was so thin. I do highly recommend the Fiery potatoes (potatoes Brava!). They came with a white sauce drizzled on top and just enough seasoning to have flavor without really being "Fiery". The Croquettes were a little gooey but to be fair, they did only contain potatoes and manchego.
By accident, our server brought an order of what I believe to be Albondigas (beef meatballs). Now, we were too involved in our conversation to really remember what we ordered so we did eat one meatball a piece before the server realized that it wasn't our order. The meatballs were very good and I would recommend ordering them if you're into that sort of thing (meatballs without pasta or a bun).
This brings me to the service. I'd like to point out that the place was slammed packed. I was asked for my drink order within a few moments of seating but it took a long time to actually receive my wine. I noticed that we weren't the only table that received the wrong food. The table next to us also got an extra order of something along with the Sangria that I ordered. I'd like to point out that it took a LOOOONG time for me to actually get my Sangria and our server never came around to make sure we were ok. I did see other servers circling the restaurant so I don't know what the deal was with our side of the room.
For better service, try to dine here Mon-Wed. nights as it is insane on a Thursday (you know,pre-weekend). With all the Tapas restaurants in Charlotte, this one didn't hold my taste buds enough to bring me back but instead to try other places.
