Delicious paella and Spanish tapas!…read more The paella was seasoned well with hefty portions of seafood. $59 for two people (minimum) and two tapas plates were plenty. The interior is decorated very casual and homey, it was a fun ambiance with excellent service! The flan dessert was so rich and creamy too. I would come back to try more of the hot tapas plates!

Came here during happy hour to see what all the hype was about, and it definitely lived up to its…read morereputation. The ambiance was relaxed and inviting, especially for the middle of the day, making it a great spot to unwind over a few tapas and drinks. Our waiter was incredibly friendly and helpful, walking us through the menu and offering recommendations, which made ordering much easier for first-timers. My favorite dish was the ham and cheese-filled tapa--it was rich, crispy, and packed with flavor. We also enjoyed the chicken with onions and the sausage, both of which were simple but well-executed. As with most traditional tapas bars, don't come expecting a huge meal since the portions are meant for sharing and sampling. The sangria was refreshing and paired well with the food, though it wasn't particularly memorable. Overall, Costa Brava is a great place for happy hour, good conversation, and authentic tapas with attentive service in a welcoming atmosphere.

Parking is really hard, so preferably take an uber or park at the conventiom center or Hilton. Its only a 10 min from there to the restaurant and super easy access to get put of downtown. I really like this place because the ambiance is like being in Spain, DJ and Live Latin Music until around 1am. Decor is like being in a Spaniard "Bar" and it is usually pretty busy. Full bar, good cocktails, wine list and a great variety type of Cold and Hot Tapas to share. Their signature dish for me Is the Black Seafood Paella made with the squid's black ink. Lively music and there is an area where you can dance if you are up to the mood Great place to gather with friends, they do take reservations or you can also walk in and sit at the bar if the tables are busy. There is like a second floor with tables to be a little bit more separate from the music. Ladies bathroom, very interesting decor with pics of cute famous Spanish and Latin Actors. The only thing is that there was no a/c in the restroom so it was super hot there even if were there for 2 minutes. Service was average. Not out of this world. I think our waiter was taking care of too many tables at the same time and he was always in a hurry. We had to hunt him down to get our orders taken and even for the bill. This left a lot to desire for the restaurant quality. But still a good option for dinner, fun, laughs and dance.

We had the mussels and a shrimp appetizer to start. For main course we both went with the fish, Yummmmmy. The bread and dipping sauce was very good too.

This was probably our fourth time dining here, and each visit feels like being transported back to…read moreSan Sebastián. The flavors are simple yet outstanding, and the menu always feels thoughtfully put together. We ordered the prawns aglio e olio and heirloom tomatoes for starters, then we tried the pork chop--and it was easily one of the best we've ever had. Perfectly seasoned, incredibly tender, and just the right portion size. The wine selection was excellent, and we were happy to see that they've added whiskey to the menu. The only dish that didn't quite blow us away was the chocolate sourdough dessert, but we were curious and glad we gave it a try. What really completes the experience is the excellent service. Chris, the bartender, took wonderful care of us and recommended the perfect wine pairings for our meal. We keep coming back for a reason. We absolutely love this neighborhood gem!

Unfortunately, we had to sit outside in the heat and had flies surrounding us. But that didn't bother us -- we just kept ordering sangria, since it was happy hour. We split the following: + Tuna, uni & paleta ibérica toast⁣ + Patatas bravas⁣ + tuna carpaccio⁣ + Ajillo squid⁣ + chorizo croquetas⁣ My personal favorites were the tuna, uni & paleta ibérica toast, the patatas bravas and red sangria. Everything else could have had just a little more salt in it.
