Came here for date night and thoroughly enjoyed the entire dinning experience. Although there was just the two of us, we ordered a feast!
ORDER THE PAELLA FIRST. It says it takes about 45 minutes to prepare a paella so order strategically!
We started off with three tapas.
1- The grilled octopus ($8) came out first. It had chopped up pieces of octopus and lots of olives and peppers. Not too big a portion of octopus. Not too memorable.
2- Seared foie gras ($22) came with a generous portion of foie gras on a slice of crispy toast with pieces of mango to add an element of sweetness. This is a must order!!
3- Roasted bone marrow is $12 but if you get a double order it's just $4 extra for the second piece. Definitely opt for the second piece. Each piece had a generous helping. Very rich and salty.
We also ordered the 32 oz rib eye ($68). It was HUGE!!! Amazingly seasoned. My boyfriend likes his steak medium (umm..) and usually when we order steak it still comes out still rare. But they got his order just right and he was very pleased. Generous portions of vegetables. This is something you definitely have to share!
Finally the paella ($52)! At this point none of the servers believed that we could've possibly ordered that much food and kept bringing the food to other tables around us (LOL). The paella came loaded with seafood. No stinging out on mussels, calamari, lobster and shrimp here! The rice was lacking a bit of salt or flavour but overall would still recommend.
Finished off with an order of churros and a side of dulce de leche ($8). They were hot and crispy on the outside but still very soft and doughy on the inside. A perfect ending to a wonderful meal.
The service was good. Very attentive. Our server was still tending to another table and explaining the menu. The manager came over and graciously started us instead, which was very thoughtful. Our server was attentive for the rest of the night.
Love the atmosphere of Tapagria. I made reservations and good thing I did because it was packed! Loved the wood furniture and warm ambience.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience and would recommend Tapagria to everyone!
