All very nice. I got. Three wines by the glass, two white and one red and we focused on local specialties. I think we had like 8 items. Forgot to take pictures of a few of them. We arrived at the frightfully early time of 8pm and so the first 30 minutes or so we were alone. Staff was great and explained the food, in English. All dishes were truly unique and i think the menu changes often as the web site is not up to date. It's is about 10 minutes walk from our JW Marriott. Nice atmosphere with kind of 70s and 80s music at low volume. Bill Joel, Eagles and some other such. But gain, the food was special and great.

My group shared the croquetas de jamón for appetizer and we shared a seafood paella and a chicken paella and there was enough left over to feed a 5th person.

The front door, this old wooden looking door, had this old-school metal knocking mechanism because otherwise, the door is sealed shut. White tablecloth dining and romantic, family, friendly vibes. The actual food was very good as well. We tried three of the paella dishes, a couple of the appetizers, and we're blown away by everything. This felt like a treat. The one interesting thing about the menu is they have a couple of salmon dishes, because apparently one of the family members is Norwegian. Very interesting twist, which did not feel to deliver: the salmon that was hot smoked, came out perfectly, medium rare and delicious.

We were seated by the table near the window and ordered right away since we knew what we wanted. My friend and I split the mixed paella which comes with shrimp, calamari, crawfish, chicken and sausage. We also ordered two big glasses of the sangria. The paella took about 45 mins to make since all the paellas are made to order. While we were waiting we were sipping on our sangrias which were delicious! The only thing was that it was a bit too sweet for me and I could taste the grains of sugar at the bottom of my glass. The paella finally came and it was a beautiful site to see ! So colorful with the different elements in the dish. The rice was cooked perfectly and everything was seasoned well. It was a bit oily though when you scrape the bottom of the pan to get all the rice but it was delicious!!! During out meal the owner and our waiter has a disagreement about something and were yelling at each other across the restaurant. Kind of disrupted our dining atmosphere but overall the food was good and our service was good. Def. Recommend this place to anyone who wants a good plate of paella and glass of sangria!
