I was excited that a Spanish opened up locally to save me the drive to Palo Alto. A friend and I shared a seafood paella and while the initial bite was tasty, some later bites were hyper salty. We found the patatas bravas underwhelming. Our favorite item by far were the croquettes. The seating was comfortable. No complaints on the service. read more

This place is fantastic. The food was excellent and so were the drinks. The service was great, very attentive. The tables can be a challenge, they can be small depending on what you order. I had the paella and it comes in a large skillet, took a good amount of space on the table. Other than that, it's a great place to eat and drink and have a good time. read more

Really nice ambience and great service but the taste is lacking and portions are rather small. The paella for 2 is more like for a hungry 1 . read more

The food & the service was excellent!! The decor is perfect! I always or the vegan paella which is delicious!! It was Valentines Day and the service was not rushed and food was hot which is my pet peeve dining out on holidays. read more

This tapas place opened up last September and finally got to try it . Cute spot in Livermore downtown . The tapas offerings are fun and eclectic and the paella is so good . A Spanish tapas place is a great addition to tri valley dining scene and was definetly needed . There are a lot of vegetarian and gluten free offerings so a great place for non meat eaters We ordered a bunch of small plates and then reordered some more . The peppers , there are two on the menu and both are great , specially the goat cheese one . The shrimp , octopus were both good . The manchego cheese , veg croquettes , patata bravas , charcuterie , cauliflower , asparagus all amazing . We got the mushroom and the chicken paella both were nice . The cocktails are also great and the wine selection is quite varied. .Recommend the spicy margarita , old fashioned and the cava based cocktail . For desserts the almond cake was worth every bite and well who cannot like churros . So yeah had a great time and our server was just amazing ! His food recs and picture taking skills are top notch . Definitely going back read more

First time visiting this restaurant today. Friendly staff and owner. Food was delicious and presentation was outstanding. Had the steak paella, vegetable croquettes and piquillo peppers with goat cheese. Wife had the tasty Horchata cocktail that had tequila in it. Great date night place read more

We loved our dinner at L Campo! We dined as two adults and a toddler and they seated us in a very thoughtful spot with room for our stroller. The cocktails were high quality, and all the staff were so welcoming and attentive. The food came out surprisingly fast (which is always appreciated when dining with small kids!) and everything was excellent. We had braised short rib, chorizo, fries, saffron rice, and cauliflower. I would order everything I ate again!! I think one of the worries with tapas is portion size and whether it will be enough food but every small plate or side we ordered was more than enough for the 3 of us. A note on ambience -- great Friday night vibe! Loud and vibrant and full of people, great for gatherings or a date night. It is not typically the atmosphere that works best for our toddler, but we got lucky that she was well distracted by tasty food. It is very family friendly, but for families with toddlers who don't like high volumes I recommend trying this spot on a quieter night or earlier in the evening. Looking forward to dining here again! read more

The hype is well founded. Everything we ate was great, and the server Burt (Bert? I don't want to spell it wrong!) did a fantastic job with recommendations. The Watermelon Kiss was so fresh and tasty, as was the rose sangria, and the steak in our paella was perfect. Looking forward to returning to try more of the tapas. Nice atmosphere with classical guitar mood music that adds rather than detracts or distracts. read more

The paella was hearty and delicious -- the meat was perfectly tender and the artichokes melt in your mouth. Also loved the watermelon kiss cocktail, it was of the best I've ever had. Tasted like freshly squeezed watermelon juice. The calamari was okay, nothing special. The restaurant itself is beautiful and is great for a fancy dinner or a slightly upscale lunch. read more

I had an amazing time last night at L Compo! Everything, from the food to the service, was exceptional. The bartender, Haleema, truly stood out.Incredibly sweet, attentive, and she made some of the best drinks I've had. Highly recommend, and I'll definitely be back! read more

Had dinner at L Campo and was seriously impressed. We ordered the patatas bravas and the steak paella, and both dishes were outstanding. The patatas bravas came out perfectly crispy on the outside, soft inside, and topped with a rich, smoky sauce that had just the right kick -- easily one of the best versions I've tried. The steak paella was flavorful and comforting, with tender slices of steak layered over perfectly cooked rice that had soaked up all those deep, savory flavors. Every bite was hearty and balanced. read more

We were excited to hear of a Spanish Tapas place opening up so decided to check it out last Friday at 5pm. We were immediately greeted and there were plenty of seating at this time, we decided to sit outside. I can say the ambience is great, and so is the service. We ordered the gambas, white anchovies, jamón, paella "l campo" & patatas bravas. Everything was really tasty, except the patatas were a little soggy, would have preferred them more crispy! I'm sure every place does it differently, but we've had them crispy in Barcelona, so really our preference. :) Other than that, atmosphere, food, drinks were great! Highly recommend! *Sorry I did not get pictures this time! read more

Finally, good Spanish tapas in the TriValley. The space was done tastefully with a soothing ambiance. Service was excellent and attentive. We were recommended to try the 24 month Jamon Iberico which was amazing-highly recommend! We ordered the churros with chocolate for dessert- a definite must for dessert. A couple of "thoughts": 1) Although service was great, we felt rushed. We were recommended to order all tapas at once. We're used to ordering tapas "along the way". 2) The same sauce was used in most of our tapas, so the tapa taste profiles were similar/identical. 3) Not a big deal, but they do not take reservations, and noticed that all seats (& bar seats) were filled by 5:20p on a Friday eve. 4) Limited Spanish (by the bottle from Spain) red wines to choose from. All in all, good start and we'll definitely come again! read more

Had an absolute fantastic first time experience here at El Campo! We had excellent service from Nani who was very kind and attentive every step of the way and even shared some of her favorite dishes with us. The owner Mete had inspired us to try outside of our comfort zone and try some tapas we wouldn't think otherwise and they were out of this world good which were the croquettes, stuffed peppers with goat cheese, and patatas bravas. Also, me and my girlfriend both had paella for the first time and it was so delicious! Finally, Yusuf and the other staff always checked in on us and cleared our plates with ease and filled our waters consistently. The churros was also a great finishing touch to the meal, light but filling. This is a must absolute visit with a great ambiance if you are in downtown Livermore! read more

Ambiance was nice love the open kitchen and table designs in the back but majority of tables out front are way to close together and leaves no privacy between you and your neighbors. Horchata was delicious but unfortunately the rest of the food was so so. We had Octopus was fresh and soft but sauces served with it did not have wow factor. Had jamón was fine but bread served with it was lacking fine dining. The seafood paella was so small for the price a few pieces of seafood and no flavor. The server was very sweet and young but unfortunately she lacked ability to describe the dishes little knowledge of the menu described one of the dishes as the same sauce as a previous dish they served but since it was our first time we had no knowledge of previous dish we laughed about that. It was ok but probably won't return Sabio on Main is way better read more

Everything was delicious, including the drinks. Our waiter was knowledgeable and friendly. We had a Great time. And the inside is beautiful -- total change from the previous restaurant! read more

Great service, excellent food! We had several small plates for a group of four. The shrimp, grilled octopus, white anchovies, croquettes, and Jamón Ibérico were all simply delicious. They will tell you up front the paella takes 25-30 minutes to prepare, so best order it immediately if you are interested. We tried the seafood paella, and ordered it "extra crispy" crust on the bottom. My wife and I made a subsequent visit with two more friends, where we finished tasting the small plates, and ordered the L Campo paella. Every dish was a delight, I'd order any again. I preferred the L Campo paella to the seafood, but i would eat either in a heartbeat. My only concern is they don't take reservations. It wasn't an issue either time we visited, but come winter the outside seating won't be fun and there's not a lot of seating space inside. read more

I don't usually enjoy seafood, but the paella at L Campo completely changed my mind, hands down the best I've ever had. The restaurant was spotless and beautifully organized, and the staff made the whole experience seamless. I barely waited for my food, and the open kitchen made it even better. Watching them prepare everything fresh right in front of me gave me total confidence in the quality and care they put into every dish. If you're anywhere near Livermore and want amazing food, great service, and an experience you can trust, L Campo is a must-try. read more

L Campo - Seafood paella - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Livermore, California

Delicious. Expensive but really good service and food. My top places to go. Really love the paella, extra crispy.

Checked this place out last night. Arrived at about 5:20pm and it was already almost full so the buzz is definitely out about this place. The inside is very nice- the decor is great and the kitchen is behind big clear windows so you get to feel like it's one big family while inside- in a good way. The food came very fast- so fast that the main entree beat one of the tapas we ordered, but it's ok as we just ate it all together. We ordered the tapas croquettes which were our favorite, we also ordered the tapas sautéed shrimp and then short ribs with Spanish beans (for 2) - the short ribs were good and fell apart like they should, but it lacked flavor. The beans were big Lima beans, but you only get about 5 of them. I felt like I wanted at least a couple more of those to go with each bite. There was a light broth the short rib sat in that we felt needed some type of bread to go with, so we added an order of bread. $5 order came with two small pieces of a baguette style bread and a dish of olive oil (which we didn't use). The price for the bread was the only cost I felt was a bit steep. The menu is really very reasonable in comparison to other similar dining establishments in Livermore. For dessert we had the almond cake and it quite possibly was our favorite of the night!! Delicious and delightful!! Service was excellent and so was the vibe. They will eventually be open for lunch and they will eventually have some Spanish guitar players to play at dinner service. I'd like to go back for that and to try some of their Spanish Charcuterie plates as well! read more

From cocktails to small plates. This place did not disappoint. Service was spectacular! We have a new gem in town.

Was so excited to try this place! Ended up being very 'mid'. Drinks, appetizers, and main course were all bland. Not bad, but not good either. I wouldn't come back. Service was lacking, no helpful direction. "Everything is good". Very cold inside. read more

Everything was truly amazing! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the portions were very generous and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The Paella Steak was absolutely delicious, tender and full of flavor. From the starters we really enjoyed the octopus and the classic Patatas Bravas. The churros were the perfect sweet ending, crispy and light. And the Watermelon Kiss cocktail was refreshing and perfectly balanced. Thank you for such a wonderful experience, we will definitely be coming back again! read more

We were wandering downtown LM and saw L Campo. I assumed it's fairly new since they only had a few reviews. Walked in and got a table right away. They were pretty busy though on a Wednesday night. They have outdoor area too where we sat. Service is amazing -- I don't say this a lot because service (overall) has gone down so much everywhere but this place proved me wrong. They were very attentive in a good way, very friendly and accommodating. Food is delicious -- we ordered a couple items and all of them were above 9/10. Anchovies were good, not too fishy/salty for me but still flavorful, the croquette 10/10!!! I ordered the pickled veggies too, random but I enjoyed it very much, might be too pickled for some but I would order a jar if I had the chance. We got mushroom paella, maybe we should've gotten extra crispy next time, 8/10. Drinks were delicious, 8.7/10 Would recommend and come back. read more

After finishing the Livermore Light Wine Trolley Tour on Saturday night We were looking to find a place for a light dinner at 8pm. We did peek in quite a few windows and L Campo caught our eye as the ambience and menu looked inviting. The food and cocktails here were amazing, and the service was outstanding and quick. The octopus and anchovies' toast was a first for the 4 of us and only made us wish we had more of a appetite to experience more of the menu. We will be back for sure. The icing on the cake was our server Nani, who was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and super fun to talk to. Her level of service was second to none and when we do come back we will be willing to wait as long as we have to to make sure she is our server. L Campo...you have the food , you have the ambience. You also have Nani. Hang on to her as long as you can. read more

Excellent food and service. The place was packed and the team was up for the challenge. What struck me most was that for a place that had only been open for a month it felt like it's been around forever. The paella was so good and all the tapas we had were on point. Please go support these guys, you won't be disappointed. read more

We had a great experience at El Campo! The service from ( Duda ) was outstanding she was attentive, friendly, and truly made us feel welcome. Her service made all the difference in our visit. The drinks were amazing, well-made, flavorful, and high quality. The bartender, (Ugur), was also very attentive and made sure everything was perfect. We were very impressed with the overall experience and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend L Campo! read more

Food was delicious. The shishito peppers were perfectly sautéed and the heirloom tomato toasted was perfectly portioned. We also got the chicken paella which was cooked perfectly. The drinks were also delicious though very mild. My only minor "complaint" was that the waitress was almost overly nice. She was very sweet but at a certain point, the constant check-ins are enough. Besides that though, the food was yummy and I definitely recommend checking L Campo out. read more

Food was outstanding. We tried the seafood paella. A little crispier rice as a recommendation from the bartender. Great choice. The octopus and short ribs with beans were also very delicious. I loved the cozy vibe with Spanish guitar music playing in the background. Oh I forgot to mention the cocktail with tequila, pomegranate and canela. Scrumptious. Great place. A must try. You won't be disappointed. read more

NOT GLUTEN FREE! BEWARE OF CROSS-CONTAMINATION AND UNTRAINED STAFF. Unbelievable!This very upscale restaurant has GF next to many of its menu items (the menu at the restaurant). When I asked if they used a dedicated fryer, they said, "Yes, but we cook everything in both fryers, not just GF. When I asked if they had a separate area where they prepare their GF dishes, the three people working there gave an adamant, "NO." Then they looked at me like I was asking a ridiculous question. When I asked if they at least use separate utensils for preparing their GF items, they all shook their heads and said, "NO." There were three employees answering my questions. This is why people with celiac or extreme gluten allergies get ill. Clearly, they use GF to attract customers, but do not care about cross-contamination. At this point, even if they were to respond that their employees didn't know, the fact that their employees are not trained in gluten intolerance and cross-contamination is all I need to know. read more

Accommodating staff, great tapas and drinks and great atmosphere. Hit every note a great restaurant should.
