| - Went here on a whim, and glad we did!
They specialize in Paella here and have at least a dozen to choose from, ranging from vegetarian to the most extravagant.
Super Bock available by the bottle (always a plus) as well as a pretty solid sangria by the liter.
Bread and olives were brought out right after our order and the server was very helpful in deciding/organizing a shared meal for 5 people.
We wanted the grilled octopus, but they didn't have enough, so they gave us a small plate for free and suggested the calamari instead. Octopus was very tender, although the flavor was a little different than expected. Calamari was good, but nothing to write home about.
We ordered the vegetarian, 3 meat, and "de la casa" paella's. Both non-vege's came with ample portions of meat and seafood, by no means a majority of rice. All the seafood (scallops, muscles, shrimp, lobster) was cooked very well, all very tender and flavorful. The lamb was good and rabbit very well and deliciously prepared. The chicken was OK, but more on the dry side. All in all, I would definitely consider returning for more!
The 3 paella's easily fed all 5 of us and we split 3 desserts (chocolate mousse, fruit salad, and coffee cake) with ample satisfaction.
They have flamenco dancing (on a small stage in the restaurant) each Saturday (possibly Sunday) and accept American Express, as well as other credit cards.
A welcome change to the standard rotation of various restaurants available in the area, this cozy nook is definitely worth the trip!
