    Out of Country Review - Spain…read more Had lunch at La Paz on Wednesday afternoon. A perfectly fine option when at the beach, but nothing warranting an independent visit. Quality: The food was better than you may expect from a beachfront restaurant, but not something that needs to be experienced. The Grilled Octopus was okay, overwhelming in terms of oil. The Toasted Bread was one of the weakest we had during our visit. The Paella Valenciana had positive aspects, but got a little burnt, creating some unsatisfying bites. The Sangria was sweet, so be careful if you prefer a drier version. Quantity: Large portion sizes. Value: Decent prices. Ambiance: La Paz is a seafood restaurant located on the boardwalk near the beach in Valencia. The setup is a bit deceptive as they keep several tables open near the front, only to lead you deeper into the restaurant saying the front ones are reserved. The view still exists inside, though much more obstructed than hoped for. Crowd: The outdoor area was filled, inside empty. Service: Friendly.

    Orgasmically delicious!!! We started our lunch with their special Valencia Salad which was…read moredelicious! We topped it with olive oil, vinegar and salt. Perfect serving size for three! We then shared the pollo alajillo which was chicken cooked in its own juice topped with loads of garlic. Also incredibly savory! We polished off our lunch with the paella mariscos (seafood paella) which was as good as other reviewers described it. The best part of paella's is the crispy rice called soccarat in Spanish. Make sure to scrape every grain off the pan, you won't regret this!! Service was spot on! Our server kept checking in on us and he graciously took a photo of our group by ensuring we had the best angle. Is this a touristy spot? Maybe. But the food sure tasted like locals would enjoy it!

    worst waiter in valencia. he was so rude to my partner and me. On my receipt, it says his name is:…read moremaría. We tried being nice to him from moment one but i suspect he didn't like English-speaking people. We could see he was polite & all smiles to other Spanish customers. But to us, he couldn't have given us the time of day. He was condescending, dismissive & brought the wrong entrée when I specifically asked for a fish paella; he insisted it had ONLY fish....with no calamari. but he brought us the seafood one which has nothing but shrimp and EXTRA calamari. if it was a kitchen mistake, that's fine. But it was his attitude that ruined the entire meal from start to finish! By this time, I was so done with his rude behavior we kept the wrong entrée. My partner, who speaks some Spanish, did his best to order everything in Spanish and I was polite, smiled, and tried my best to engage with him as our hotel highly recommended this restaurant. but there was nothing we could do to make this man even pretend he gave a damn about our table. I will never return to this restaurant and highly recommend that others seek out a restaurant along this stretch of beach in which their servers treat them better than this man. He was short, had slick back black hair, 40-ish and his attitude was as dark as his soul. never again. shame on him!
