| - I decided to eat at La Casa because of their Groupon and my love for tapas. The food is pricey, but in range for what a good tapas restaurant normally costs. However, their food was way below par and not worth the cost.
The highlight of the evening was the mussels dish in white wine sauce, which were flavorful and well-prepared. However, the experience quickly went downhill from there. The baked manchego tasted like frozen mozzarella sticks. The Moroccan spring rolls were bland and with a strange teriyaki dipping sauce. The crab cake with mango sauce was okay, but also not very flavorful. The patatas bravas tasted quite good, though they were not nearly as crispy as I normally like. The flavor made up for the mushy texture, but I think they mostly tasted that good in comparison to the rest of the food. In addition, their sangria was decent, but not great.
The ambiance was fantastic. The back porch area is lovely in nice weather. However, even with the groupon, this is not a place I would come back to.
