I was super excited to bring my family back to a place where I ate good and shared laughs with friends we flew from the states(California to be exact) we had a great day and then came dinner time !! We arrived at the beach front venue I told my kids This is where we sat and this place is amazing boyyyy was I wrong this time around!!! The hospitality was great to start the host sat us promptly and then the wait began after 13 minutes I asked if the server knew we were here and the host had to go to the back to get her , she came out took our drink order then again the wait started for our food order 20 minutes now went by not a word not a "I'll be right back I'm sorry nothing " at almost 40 minutes we got up and let the hostess know we wouldn't be dining here and we apologized to her as she was the most respectful person I'm sorry bit I definitely do not recommend this place any longer read more

Nice view but that's all. Ordered two paellas, one Valenciana in which was uneatable due excessive salt and only one chunk of chicken and two small pieces of rabbit. The other one was black paella in which had a better taste but the seafood was invisible. I ordered fried calamari for appetizer and for my surprise I received only 5 small rings. What a waste of money. Hard core tourist trap. read more

Worst calamari ever. Decent vibe Help looks good. Drinks hit or miss. read more

Best thing about this place is that they let you order one paella portion (as opposed to minimum 2 from other places) I think as long as the other people on your party have an entree. We got nachos as appetizers that were OK, everything tasted store bought, from the chips to the meat to the guacamole and the cream. My husband got the gourmet burger which was good, just wished that it wasn't regular burger bun because Spain has such good bread. And I got paella Valenciana. This one was better than I had in other places and the lemon wasn't overpowering flavor when I squeezed into the rice. Also has a good view to the ocean and thankfully the day we went was a clear day so the sky and the ocean were blue. read more

Destino 56 - Paella Valenciana - single serving - Pubs Near Me - Valencia, V

Above average Mediterranean Restaurant on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea in Valencia, Spain. The restaurant has Tapas options, Paella options, Burgers, Pizza, and a full bar. Lighting throughout the restaurant and bar are color changing mood lights that add to the overall white interior. Staff is helpful, prompt, and try to ensure you're taken care of. Price for Paella is a little less expensive than it's neighbors and the infamous La Pepica. The dessert menu is good. I had the mango ice cream which was 3 scoops for €5.50. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area. I recommend. read more

Talk about catfish. After being enticed by the beautiful beach front restaurant, we instantly realized we had been mislead. One hour after waiting for our paella, we asked our waitress if it was coming, and she said "20 more minutes." 45 minutes and 7 empty drinks later, we asked again, only to be told that the order was never placed. To reiterate, we asked for it twice, were told it would come twice, and never received it. Another dish at the table that was ordered, the chicken paella, came with 3 pathetic pieces of chicken that consisted of skin and bone. Not only did the table next to us have around 10 supple pieces of chicken in their paella (dare I say drumsicks), they received it on time, with smiling faces! It is unquestionable that this "service" was performed poorly because we are American. I believe that's all that needs to be said. read more

Beautiful restaurant near Playa Malvarrosa! The staff were nice and the food was good too. We had a traditional Sangria, which was really nice and a lobster paella, which we enjoyed equally!!! I would go there again! read more

I'm here at this very moment and good lord I've pulled all my hair out waiting for our food, our drinks, the bill, and heaven forbid I needed to ask for anything else in between like a plate or fork- expect to wait 20 minutes for that too. My family of four had to share two plates and two sets of silverware because they didn't bring us two more. The food was fine but my biggest complaint was the rude service- I'm not a crazy American tourist- my family and I are patient, easy going native Spanish speakers so I can't blame the poor service on "Europeans hate Americans". With the way they pull you off the street and beg you to eat at their establishment, you'd think they'd taken better care of you. Stay away, plenty of other places to eat along this beach. read more

Looks are clearly deceiving. Place looks very nice, and they pull you off the street semi-begging you to eat there. We ordered the calamari as a starter, and two pizzas, together with a beer and a coke. We received the drinks fairly early from a waitress that basically glared at customers and clearly felt better than them. Starter arrived reaaaally late, but tasted fairly okay. The sauce was basically liquid garlic, so be careful if you order that. The empty plate of the starter stayed on the table until the server brought the pizzas, and then decided to take the empty plate away. My girlfriend had a pizza with cheese and ham, I had the four cheeses. Both were easy, but dry and bland. They try to compensate with a ton of oregano, which really just does not taste good. Joke of the day was that my pizza was essentially that of my girlfriend, but instead of ham, they had put four slices of camembert cheese on my pizza. I'm not talking spreading it in a refined manner, I'm talking four blocks of cheese on the pizza. Not appetising. In all, we paid about EUR 45 for our experience. Worst of all, while our table was served correctly, we saw 5 tables around us with cold food, incorrect bills, food that didn't show up etc. The servers are clearly not paying attention and serving their clients. Watch out for this place. Would not recommend. read more

Two tables served before us. Waitress would not pay any attention to us. Not "hip"enough? Finally got up and . went to her but she pretended not to understand the order. Finally got expensive drinks and had to ask another waiter for menus. No one ever came to take food order. Left. Nice couches is all. read more
