Loved this place!! In downtown Livermore. It's a cute little tapas bar. The classic gin and tonic is so refreshing here. We had quite a variety of tapas. The octopus is a small portion but perfectly cooked! The chorizo and manchego cone is a fun starter! Wish there was a bit more chorizo towards the bottom after the tomato tapenade (like the chocolate at the bottom of the cones we grew up with). The potatas marbles were so tender and creamy- a great alternative to patatas bravas. The croquettas were to die for- crispy outside creamy center. The meatballs were tender and in the most delicious sauce. The shishito peppers were also a great starter. We ended with the seafood paella done with squid ink. It was very good but I wish there was more seafood in it. Service was great! I would come back for sure!
Everything I had at this restaurant was fantastic! I'd definitely go back. Cocktail - Beso de Sandía (Watermelon Kiss) - Vodka, fresh watermelon, mint, lime Starter - Piquillo Peppers with Goat Cheese Paella - Valenciana (rabbit & chicken)
The establishment is nice. The service was 10/10. The food is just ok. In my opinion, I would say come for drinks. I'll def make it back for drinks and maybe try some of their other tapas.
We came here for happy hour since we enjoy trying happy hour at different restaurants. We ordered the fish, patatas bravas, fries, and a few drinks. The patatas bravas were interesting and pretty good, and we also enjoyed the cod fish, and the anchovy appetizer. We asked for ranch with the fries, but unfortunately they didn't have any. I understand this is a Spanish restaurant and they want to stay true to their style, but it would be nice to have a few additional sauce options for different tastes. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and I really liked that you can see the staff cooking in the kitchen behind the glass. By the time we were leaving, it was getting pretty busy for dinner, so it seems like a popular spot. Overall, we enjoyed the happy hour. The prices were affordable and the drinks were good, although they could have been a little stronger. I'd definitely give this place another try, especially to come back and try one of their paellas.
Great spot for a girls' night! The seafood paella was delicious--the shrimp, scallops, and mussels were super fresh. Loved the goat cheese-stuffed peppers, and the short ribs were tender and perfectly seasoned. The watermelon mint cocktail was so refreshing, and the churros were divine! Beautiful atmosphere with a sophisticated, elegant feel. Definitely enjoyed our dinner!
Modern and sleek restaurant located in downtown Livermore. The restaurant was empty during lunch service and perhaps everyone waited until happy hour. The calamari was rubbery, and I didn't care for the aioli sauce that came with it. Our steak paella was good, but not exceptionally made that I would have to have it again. The Mediterranean Sea bass was crisp and the sauce was amazing! Churros were slightly undercooked and having chocolate sauce on the side costs extra. Eat the almond cake while it's still nice and warm because it hardens when it gets cold. Drinks were made well, and I would recommend coming during happy hour! Review your bill before paying because we were charged for an extra drink which I didn't catch until I got home!
L Campos is one of our favorites for Spanish Tapas. As a tapas place food comes out as it is ready. So if you like sharing, as we do, this gives you and your guests time to talk and enjoy each other. Sadly, the ordering system doesn't seem to be setup to sequence the food as requested. All in all the, place has nice indoor and outdoor seating in downtown Livermore. There is a new parking structure to help with parking. Next time we will ask server for guidance on appetizers with different flavor profiles so we don't end up with too many things tasting the same. Give them a try.
L Campo: Upscale Vibes with Room for Culinary Improvement! We visited L Campo in downtown Livermore for a Friday lunch. The restaurant is beautifully situated, featuring lovely floral arrangements outside and a very pleasant, upscale atmosphere inside. We had no trouble finding seating, and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The Starters Since we were eyeing the paella (which takes about 30 minutes to prep), we kicked things off with some appetizers: * Arugula Salad: This was the highlight of the meal! The goat cheese was fantastic, and the glazed pears added a perfect sweetness. Highly recommended if you want something fresh. * Bread & Butter: The bread arrived warm, though the crust was a bit on the harder side. However, the butter was at a perfect temperature--nice and easy to spread. The Mains For our main courses, we opted for the Chicken Paella and the Lamb Shank. Unfortunately, both dishes fell a bit flat for us: * Chicken Paella: While the presentation was fine, the flavors weren't particularly extraordinary or special. * Lamb Shank: Similar to the paella, it was "just okay." Having tried various Spanish spots across the East Bay, we felt the quality of these specific dishes didn't quite justify the higher price tag. The Verdict: L Campo has the ambiance and the service down perfectly, but the kitchen felt like it might have been having an "off" day during our visit. Given their strong overall ratings, we'd be open to returning to try different menu items, but we'll likely skip the paella and lamb shank next time.
Overall we had a nice dinner at L Campo. We visited on a busy Sunday evening and managed to get the last table outside. The weather was nice so this wasn't too bad. The inside of the restaurant is lovely, but even with the open layout it was quite packed. Our server was Duda, she was very nice and had recommendations for us on the menu. Some of the items we ordered were a hit or miss, hence the 3 stars. -aged jamon iberico was delicious, but 5 slices of meat and only 4 pieces of bread? -fried calamari was too salty -l campo paella - the chicken was good but overall the dish was under flavored and the only vegetable was big chunks of green bell pepper -churros for dessert were quite messy and very small pieces for the price We'd like to give this restaurant another chance in the future because they have a vast menu with more to try, plus the service and ambiance is nice. I hope they can improve on the flavor aspect of the dishes.
After a long day wine tasting my wife and I had an amazing date night, and a first visit, at L Campo We started with tapas -- the crispy, creamy vegetable croquettes and the delicious piquillo peppers stuffed with goat cheese were packed with flavor. The seafood paella was the highlight -- fresh, perfectly cooked, and absolutely delicious. The cocktails were just as impressive. The Embrujo Carmesí and L Campo Sangría were standouts (we may have tried a couple more ), all beautifully crafted and easy to enjoy. Beyond the food and drinks, the service was outstanding -- attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. Cudos to Mete, Patrick and Ugr, (my apologies if the spelling is wrong )that made us feel as if we were regulars. The ambiance was warm, lively, and full of charm, making it the perfect spot for a relaxed, romantic evening. We ended with the California almond cake, the perfect sweet finish. Great food, creative drinks, delightful atmosphere, and top-notch service -- we'll definitely be back!
Was happy to see a more upscale restaurant in Downtown Livermore. I've been here twice and both times it was busy. Host wasn't as welcoming, bartender was great, server was great. They don't take reservations, just walk ins. And they have a lot of tables either. The restaurant however is very cute and chic. Great place to have a cocktail and small bites. Definitely wouldn't recommend coming here hungry. We had to wait over 45 mins to get a table on a Saturday night around 8pm so by the time we sat we were starving. Since it's mainly tapas (small plates), we left hungry still. But the food was good at least. Anchovie toast: 8/10 Calamari: 8/10 Grilled beef: 9/10 Grilled octopus: 10/10 Grilled chorizo: 8/10 Seafood paella: 10/10 I would come back, but on a half full belly.
We were invited to a belated birthday dinner. We looked forward to a wonderful Spanish meal of Tapas and Paella. L Campo does not take reservations and seating is first come, first served. We were seated outside. At first, I was concerned that it might get cold because I didn't see any heaters and I had left my jacket in my car. We lucked out because the weather held and there was no wind. Menus were presented and we were asked if we wanted still or sparkling water. We got the bubbly stuff and one of us ordered a Coke. We verified with our server, Duda, that one Tapa and two Entrees would be the right amount of food. Heirloom Tomato Toast - 3 - It was fine, but we were comparing it to a Tomate con Pan that we had had in London a couple of years ago. That one was made with toasted homemade bread, rubbed with fresh garlic, then rubbed with ripe tomatoes imported from Barcelona and drizzled with olive oil. Patatas Bravas - 2 - In a Chinese restaurant, one can expect differences in flavors and textures from dishes with the same name because of regional ingredients. There's no reason for this to be different in Spanish food. I prefer "dry" potatoes served with an Aioli and/or a Bravas Sauce. This one was too wet with Bravas Sauce and the Aioli Sauce was only served after we were asked if we wanted it. 12+ Month Jamon Serrano - 5 - Perfectly yummy. 24+ Month Jamon Iberico - 5 - Even yummier. We had experienced both meats in Barcelona but our hosts had not. I asked if we could possibly order a split plate and pay the difference but alas it was not possible because these items were portioned in advance. These Jamons come from different breeds of pigs raised on different diets. Compared side by side, you can choose your preference based on flavor and texture. Baked Cauliflower with Romesco Sauce - 4 - Was good. There are so many variations that I can't decide what style of Romesco Sauce I prefer. I think that next time, I'll order the sauce on the side so I can decide how much to use. 48-Hour Beef Short Ribs - 5 - I'm not sure that Beef served without the bone can technically be called a Short Rib even if it's the meat from between the bones. However, the beef is delicious. Even more delicious is the broth and Spanish Beans that come along in the pan. Be sure to order Bread and Butter to go with it. The Bread will also come with Olive Oil but it's really not needed. Spread some of the soft butter on the bread and then spoon some sauce and a bean onto the bread. You can even add a shred or two of the beef if you want to go crazy. Seafood Paella - 5 - Although the rice was lacking the Socarrat that we were expecting, the flavor of the rice was phenomenal. When we placed the order, we were asked how we wanted the rice, I said crispy. Duda offered Crispy or Extra Crispy. I then asked for Extra Crispy. When done correctly, the rice cooks to the bottom of the pan and provides an extra bit of texture and flavor without being burned. What was served barely stuck to the pan. Zero Socarrat. Very disappointing, especially since we had been asked how we wanted it. Churros - 4 - Two of us ordered Churros for dessert. They were out of Milk Chocolate so we both got the "Dark" Chocolate. The flavor of the Churros was good. These were skinny Churros, and I prefer fat Churros because there's more of the soft center, which the Chocolate Sauce seems to adhere to better. In Barcelona, the Dark Chocolate Sauce was much darker and substantially thicker, almost like a chocolate pudding. If you tipped the container, it would move slowly like lava. Cheese Flan with Housemade Jam (Covserve?) and Cream - 4 - Good flavors. Baked Rice Pudding - 4 - I found it interesting to have a rice pudding that didn't seem to be made up of grains of rice. I looked it up online and discovered that rice pudding sometimes doesn't even contain rice although some may grind the rice into powder before cooking for a smoother texture. This is a new concept for me and I'm going to have to try it again. Flavor wise, it was good.
This was my first visit, and The Wife's second. We didn't have any mains or paellla, but we're interested in the mushroom and shallot vegetarian option. So we had a few tapas, which is not unusual. I started with a "Smokey and Famous" which is a mezcal powered version of a naked and famous, my favorite cocktail. There was a smoke bubble on top of the glass when it was delivered - fun! For food, we ordered bread and butter, an arugula salad, vegetable croquettes, a Spanish tortilla (which has no tortillas in it, as they helpfully mention when you order). Later we had churrosndor dessert. I could have had another drink from a large choice of whiskys or wines, as well as digestives, but budget was a factor for now. The service was very quick, almost too fast. We arrived before 5 on a Friday evening, and seating was no problem. Very friendly staff. Someone checked with us near the end, either a manager or owner or both, to see if we had any concerns. We did not. L Campo is part of the upscaling of Livermore food options, started by Range Life, and continued by places like Wingen. Older establishments that have skated by need to look over their shoulder at places like this.
came here for my birthday back in April! (didn't realize I never posted the review) food was delicious & has their own twist to it. we also had patatas bravas which I loved! always a classic I get when in Spain :) food did take some time but I believe it was a Friday night! seating outdoors & indoors, looks like it fills up really quickly tho. there were nice booths inside. read more

Cute interior for a date! Service was attentive and kind. Came here saturday for lunch and was seated immediately However, food was not memorable and had cheap portions. Seafood Paella had a great flavor but was not crunchy and skimpy overall. For $46 dollars, Id expect there to be way more and cooked perfectly. Wine pour was even more skimpy. The fried cod was good with the aioli but nothing revolutionary read more
The ambiance of L Campo is contemporary and comfortable for friends gathering. The service is very good too. Our server was very attentive. She kept checking on us. Making sure we have what we needed. The seafood paella and tapa dishes like the dates with bacon and fried calamari are all great. I kept talking to friends so I forgot to take pictures of all the dishes that we ordered. :) I will recommend this place to anyone who would like good paella and tapa dishes. read more

Fun spot for a girls night out or date night! Arrived on a Saturday just after 7, and were lucky to snag two bar stools as a couple was just leaving. Otherwise, if you're not feeling as lucky it seemed like you definitely should either make a reservation or plan ahead for a bit of a wait. Seating is limited, but that adds to the ambiance of your experience! Tables in the back of the restaurant overlook the kitchen. Tables closer to the front overlook First St. Either way, there isn't a bad seat in the house. My friend and I ordered four tapas and one paella, it was enough to feed a party twice our size and the bill came to $150 (we also each had one drink). Tapas: Peppers: I would skip. No flavor. Meatballs: Must order! Huge amount of meatballs (I believe there were ten); I wish you could do a half order! Coquettes: If you only order one tapas, this must be it! DELICIOUS. Bravas: I have had better elsewhere, but it isn't bad! Chicken paella: I wouldn't come back for the paella as I've had better elsewhere, but it is good! I wish it was crispier with strong seasoning, but the amount of cilantro was a little... much... and maybe the distracted from the seasoning. The winner of the night: the cocktails are DELICIOUS. The spicy margarita is legitimately a jalapeño infused tequila, and it's SPICY without needing a spicy rim. Love!! read more

Sat at the bar for happy hour. The interior is very nicely decorated. Perfect for date night or nice dinner with a friend. Or to take yourself out and enjoy some delicious food. I had; Watermelon Kiss- absolutely delicious. Goat come- wish I would have ordered more than one! Oysters: had 2. Fresh. Wished they had more options on what to put on them. Anchovy toast: not your grandma's anchovies. These are fresh and delicious! Grilled octopus: great flavor but some pieces were chewy. Calamari: corn meal deep fried. Overcooked, they were dry and the cornmeal coating has no seasoning. Was disappointed. But they were very kind and didn't charge me for it. Almond cake with vanilla gelato: so good! You have to have it with the gelato. Espresso martini: delicious and beautiful design. I will be back to try their paella. Highly recommend read more

Had an amazing experience at L Campo last night! I've traveled to many cities in Spain and truly appreciate authentic Spanish food, and this place absolutely delivered. The patatas bravas were incredibly delicious, the cauliflower dish was amazing, the shishito peppers were so flavorful, and the vegan paella was such a pleasant surprise , full of flavor and beautifully prepared. My friend ordered shrimp and loved it. She had been there before and had tried the seafood paella and other dishes, and everything was excellent. The drinks were also high quality and complemented the meal perfectly. A special thank you to Patrick, our server, who was outstanding. He truly understands hospitality and made the whole experience even better with his attentiveness and professionalism. And knowing this gem is woman-owned makes it even more special. It's wonderful to support a restaurant bringing authentic Spanish flavors, excellent service, and such a warm atmosphere to Livermore. We will definitely be back! read more

We were so excited to see this place open up...something new and different than anything else Livermore offers. It is absolutely delicious! My husband and I went last night and the whole experience from start to finish was great. It is so cute inside. They did a great job with decor and we loved that you can see into the kitchen. They thought of everything and it shows. To start, I ordered the watermelon kiss cocktail and my husband ordered an old fashion. Both were really good. The watermelon kiss was so refreshing and light, not overly sweet. The old fashion was really well made and perfectly balanced. Then, I got the cucumber cocktail which was also really refreshing and light while highlighting the flavor of cucumber. We got the patatas bravas which were so incredibly flavorful and had the perfect amount of spice. The octopus was really tasty also with a great level of smoke and flavor. The bites where you got a little bit of everything, including the greens, were the best! We shared the seafood paella which was so packed with flavor and a healthy portion of mussels, shrimp, and calamari. Definitely worth getting. For dessert, we ordered the churros which were a great end to our meal. Our server Patrick was incredibly nice and we appreciated his knowledge of the menu as we needed some help narrowing down our selections throughout the meal. One of the other workers that came to clear our table was so sweet and noticed our table was a tiny wobbly (which we hadn't even noticed). He came back and fixed it and it just showed their attention to detail. Before our paella came out, we were given new hot plates and silverware which was a nice touch. They didn't miss a thing. Highly, highly recommend and we will most definitely be back to try more tapas! Everything we saw come out of the kitchen looked so delicious! read more
My Cousin and I ventured out to downtown Livermore last Thursday and she found this restaurant on Yelp! The service was on point. It's a very nice intimate restaurant. The selections of food are great portions even some items that allow servings for two people. The prices are I would say a little above moderate but well worth the price due to the quality of the food. This is a great place for a date or a ladies night or even a mini family dinner. read more
Wonderful experience at this new restaurant in Livermore. Charming interior. Where we sat was a little niche right inside the front door, a perfect spot for our party of four. My Ruby Drop cocktail was great. All our dishes were flavorful. You could tell the restaurant had a talented chef, as all the dishes were presented well. The patatas had a sauce with a nice kick. The fried calamari was notably great with a cornmeal dusting, nice and crispy. The albondigas were delicious, nice sauce. The croquetas were also very good, nice crispy coating. The chicken paella was good, although it was different than what I'd had before, so maybe I'd never had a real authentic paella before, I don't know. The churros for dessert with the Guittard chocolate dip were fantastic. We definitely needed either more churros or a spoon to dole out more of the chocolate. We ended up using one of our other spoons and cleaned out that little bowl! Excellent meal with a great restaurant atmosphere. read more

We had a great dinner experience at L Campo last night. The remodeled space feels classic Livermore with exposed brick and beams, Spanish art, and an open layout with skylights that bring in great natural light. It has a friendly, family-owned feel, and that comes through in every plate. You can tell they care. We started with the albondigas, bread, and espresso martinis, then moved to the spare rib and chicken paella, which is a full meal on its own. Everything was really well done. Churros with chocolate were a perfect finish. One of the best new spots on First Street! read more

We were sat right next to the kitchen at a very intimate table for 2. Even though we were close to the action, it wasn't bothersome. Our server was amazing and checked on us pretty consistently which we appreciated. The little conitos were amazing for an hors d'oeuvre type bite. The other two small plates were not very special: the tostada type dish with the anchovy was just ok and the patatas bravas were soggy cubed potatoes versus fried. We enjoyed our main dish, the Valenciana paella! Our server offered us a few sauce choices and it was tender, rice was al dente, and so flavorful. I loved our cocktails and the CA almond cake was AMAZING!! It was so light and didn't put my tummy in overload. Thanks L Campo! read more

Date night with our toddler and this place exceeded expectations! They're walk-in only, so expect a wait--we arrived to a full house and waited about an hour, but it was worth it. Cozy, bistro-style space and once our order was in, service picked up quickly. Everything we had--from the tapas to the steak and paella, every dish we ordered was flavorful and well-executed. The croquetas were a standout--even our toddler couldn't get enough of them. This just earned a spot on our go-to list for authentic Spanish food, especially since it's so close to home. We'll definitely be back. read more
Amazing as always! I was so sad to see the cod gone from the menu, but the sea bass was just as delicious!! Service was again very attentive and prompt (Duda was so kind and helpful!) And had an amazing meal! Came right after opening and had the almost the whole place to myself! Will definitely stop by soon! read more

I little gem in downtown Livermore. Not the kind of restaurant that I would expect in downtown but I came here from a recommendation. A solid 4 stars maybe more if I try other dishes again. It's a cool little place with modern yet industrial loft vibe. Menu is a bit limited for tapas yet the food is well prepared and very tasty. A great place for date night or a special occasion. Calamari was lightly breaded and very good. Everyone should prepare calamari like this. The Spanish tortilla was good but probably not outstanding IMO (although the Mrs seemed to really like it) and the paella, although not what I think of traditionally (Spanish chorizo, shrimp, crab) was quite tasty. A very satisfying impromptu lunch in downtown. Service is appropriate for the vibe of the restaurant. read more

We had such a great meal at L Campo! We ordered the mushroom paella, veggie croquettes (pro tip: get the bread to soak up all those delicious sauces), and the meatballs -- everything was packed with flavor. Finished it off with their horchata and churro, which was super refreshing. Definitely worth a visit! read more
