overpriced and loud sums up my impression of Patria. $60 Paella (lobster and shrimp) was probably the best paella money can buy but for a party of 2, it's probably not worth the money. It's a much better proposition if it is shared between 4 people. Would I spend $60 again for this humble rice dish - probably not. The restaurant itself is tucked away on the back of an alley and not very visible from the street. We went on a tue night and the place was absolutely buzzing with activity. The service is spot on given how busy it was. We shared a few tapas and the best memory that lingers on is the octopus and potato which was very delectable but too small a portion for the price we paid. We also had the gambas with parsley and the fried calamari - again very pricey for the humility of these dishes. For dessert we had the dulce de leche was which a good way to finish. I personally think spanish cuisine should not be so expensive since it's so simple for the most part. If you have never had spanish food, this is probably a very pricey introduction to it :(
