Paella Marinera
Cindy A.

Still celebrating my September birthday in October! This place has really good Paella! Very authentic and the restaurant itself is a hidden gem. The waiters are friendly and very catering. The minute you walk in you feel you are at home somewhere in Spain. The sangria is delicious and the seafood paella is my go to. I have attached some photos, and tasted as good as they look.

I went to Spain a few years ago visiting Barcelona and Madrid and fell in love with how beautiful the country is. As a foodie, I made it a point to try some of their top paella spots, and they did not disappoint. Lately, I've been craving a true taste of Spain, especially a great paella, and I heard La Paella was the best in town. I sure was not disappointed! We ordered the seafood paella, and just the presentation alone made my mouth water. I paid a little extra to get it with the premium rice, and it was absolutely worth it. The atmosphere is wonderful, and the staff are incredibly pleasant. We paired it with a few tapas and a great bottle of wine. It was such a fantastic meal and a wonderful experience overall. Do yourself a favor and go. You're welcome.

Service is the best part of this place followed by the food. We had the black squid ink paella and it was pretty authentic, ask for the Soccarat making a crispy at the bottom. Star proteins was the fish, flaky and cooked perfectly. Patatas bravas has more of a gravy texture to the sauce but it worked- Back to the service, attentive, congenial and constantly checking in on us. We will be back soon

La Paella Spanish Restaurant has an old school feel of being plucked right out of the Iberian peninsula with red clay tiled floor, white walls, dark, stained wood with tchotchkes like Don Quixote de la Mancha. 1) The French-like bread is toasted in the oven with nice crunchy crust, warm, touch yeasty, soft interior. Especially liked their earthy, garlic scented Manteca looking spread which was referred to as Aïoli. Also, there is a salty, brined, chopped olive Tapenade. 2) Paella is their own claim to fame so I ordered the Paella Marinera/seafood. The visuals did not disappoint. Requested the Spanish Bomba rice for more "authenticity" at an extra charge. Minimum order is sized for two persons. Two extra large prawns with heads attached which allowed me to sample the tomalley/shrimp butter which is creamy with a sea scented Umami along with the body meat. Four regular, steamed, headless shrimp with sweet meat. Seven clams, but over cooked. Eight mussels firm & meaty. Soft, bright red bellpepper slices contrasted against the yellow orange rice. The saffron tinted soft rice that held a delicate seafood broth hiding micro-squid, plush white meat fish. The Socarrat/the crispy rice at the bottom of Paella pan was minimal as requested since I didn't want the rest of the rice to be too dried out. Overall, the Paella was fine. (I keep using the Paella created by an art teacher from Spain, Miguel Duran, at his home which blew me out of the water as the standard so it seems most Paellas fall short.) 2a) Vino Tinto: Honoro Vera, Monastrell, Jumilla, España is juicy plum, blackberry with hints of cinnamon, dried thyme, dark chocolate, earthy, and smooth tannins. Made from Monastrell/Mourvèdre. 3) Flan de Naranja is smooth, not too sweet accompanied by a caramel sauce with a touch of orange flavouring, slices of fresh orange. Service is muted, abbreviated, non-effusive, but acceptable. The job gets done. Overall, 3+ stars.

I have not been here in years. I made a reservation for one after a day at the museum. Danny met me and he remembered my name. This was such a comfortable restaurant to spend my evening. Great place for couples, and a group of friends. Everyone in the restaurant was having a lovely time. Byron was my waiter and he was very attentive. I should say everyone was attentive. There was a woman and an older gentleman who also checked in on me. Tudor read my mind, and took my appetizer cutlery and plate, and replaced them for my entree. I loved that. When food tastes good, I dance a little in my seat with a big smile. I guess one of the patrons noticed. As he was walking out, he said you're really enjoying yourself. I really was. The Paella Marinera dish seemed as if the ocean exploded in my plate The shrimp. The prawns. The calamari. The muscles. The clams. I was so glad everything was perfectly cooked and nothing was mushy. There was seafood in every forkful. The taste exploded in my mouth,and not a bland taste anywhere. My comfort were the plants I was seated next to. I touched them to check if they were real. They were real, and they were healthy. The owners care what the restaurant looks like because the plants are healthy. These little things I notice. I had a great time at La Paella. If you love seafood with a Spanish flair, I highy recommend you make a dinner reservation at La Paella.

Paella Marinera with bamboo rice !

The best paella in the city. The vibes are always so good here. The service is so quick and the environment is so relaxing. I feel like I'm in Spain enjoying a fine dining experience. Must get the paella marinera and the sangria is always top tier !

What a charming restaurant, with delicious food and good service. We went here for the paella for dinner, and I completely forgot to take a picture of it! It also wasn't busy, which was nice.

Oops! Caught my face! Interior of restaurant.

Date night before a concert at the Saban Theater. This quaint restaurant has the charm of a small family owned Spanish restaurant. As much as we loved the ambiance, the food was the winner. We started with 2 tapas; potatoes and crusty bread with fresh tomato spread. My husband ate so much, he had little room for the main course; paella, of course. They had a few options and I chose the paella marinera with seafood (shell fish). I cleared my plate. Very delicious. We each had a drink, with our meal, and decided to go full Spain. I had the Vermouth Blanco and my husband had the sangria. The service was perfect, from host to waiter to busboy. They were there when we needed them and we never felt rushed or had to wait for refills of water or anything. We're already discussing when we can go back.

Ben L.

Excellent paella tastes almost as if you're in Spain. Sangria was delicious as well and the tapas were also very good. I used to come here when I was younger growing up here. Owners are very nice as well as the servers and bus boys.

Steak was done right !
Silva R.

If you are into paella then this is the place to go! The food and service is superb. We ordered the mixed seafood paella and they bring it out and serve it up to you individually. The ambiance and the decor were very much Spain inspired. Definitely coming back again.

Very good restaurant, tasty food, service is very nice, friendly host, there's paid parking in front of the restaurant, clean restrooms, it is a little small and it may get little noisy

So get this I take this chica from Barcelona here one night, real cultured type, accent like silk, knew her way around a Rioja. I wanted to impress, right? Boom, La Paella in Beverly Hills. Dim lighting, good energy, smells like someone's abuela's been in the kitchen since sunrise. I'm talkin real deal. We sit down, they bring us sangria. Fruity but not kiddie. It's how sangria should be done. I had two before the appetizers hit and still didn't feel bloated, which is rare for me. Now the tapas? Money. Papas Bravas crispy outside, fluffy inside, little spicy kick. Just like Johnny likes 'em. Gambas al Ajillo shrimp so garlicky I felt it in my shoulders. Tortilla Española solid. Not dry, which is key. Calamares a la Romana light breading, didn't go soggy. Respect. And the mushrooms? Don't even get me started. Like little earthy flavor bombs. I actually groaned a little and scared the hostess. Then came the Paella Valenciana Mixta. Seafood, chicken, the whole orchestra. They let me sub out the regular rice for bomba rice. Never heard of it before, but the name alone had me fired up. Bomba. Sounds like somethin Stallone would eat before a final fight scene. Midway through the meal the waiter comes by, super nice guy, asks if Vince would mind if they put his photo up on the wall. Said they loved Aquaman. Vince smiles, says sure. Then they just... walk away. No camera, no "Hey Drama, you mind too?" Nothing. Felt like Medellín all over again. Whatever. I'm not bitter. Vince paid the bill. Class act. Look, I've been to Spain. Shot part of a pilot there once before the network ghosted me. This place? Closest thing to home I've felt in years. Flavors were deep. Service was on point. That Barcelona girl texted me the next day just to say thank you. We didn't work out, but the meal lived on. Pro tip: Hit this spot during happy hour. You'll feel like you're winning at life.

How did I nearly forget to write a review for LA Paella? We celebrated 2024 Christmas Eve at LA Paella because we didn't want to stay in to cook a family dinner and needed a break from eating Asian cuisine. My brother-in-law had made the dinner reservations well before the upcoming Holiday, and we expected to find a bustling yet welcoming Central L.A. Spanish restaurant. My brother-in-law and friends have dined here previously and frequently raved about the authentic homemade-style Spanish cuisine. Based on our welcoming and friendly reception upon entry, we looked forward to dining at this comfortable and homey restaurant. We arrived on time for our reservation and were seated in a corner facing the main dining room. Our male server was kind, amicable, and efficient. Unfortunately, I didn't get the server's name because of his hustle through the crowd he was responsible for. The noise level was lively and festive. FOOD: We started by sharing a carafe of red Sangria, assorted hot and cold tapas, and a mixed green salad before jumping into our paella. The tapas that we ordered were Croquetas de Pollo (fried chicken croquettes), Gambas al Ajillo (shrimp sautéed with garlic and chilis), Calamares a la Plancha (grilled squid with garlic & parsley), Aceitunas Variadas (mixed green & black olives), Ensaladilla Rusa (tuna, potato & mayonnaise salad) and Pan Alioli/Tapenade (housemade bread served with aïoli & tapenade). Our foursome shared the huge Ensalada Orgánica Variada (mixed organic salad with tarragon dressing). Because it was our first time to dine here, my brother-in-law cautioned us to order the paella for two and maybe one entree to share. It was a good thing for his cautionary words because by the time our Paella Valenciana Mixta (rice, saffron, pork, seafood, chicken, and vegetables) and Parrillada de Carne (mixed grilled meats: pork, chorizo, chicken, and lamb) about 45-minutes later, we were stuffed from the tapas so we took home some of our mixed grill and paella. I didn't dare look at the dessert menu because I was so full from eating and drinking, but our dinnermates did confirm that LA Paella makes a fantastic flan. Although the paella and mixed grill were authentic and luscious, should we return, we'd make a meal of tapas, sangria, and dessert. 4.4 stars

I just have to say... wow! What an absolutely great experience from start to finish!!!…read more The restaurant is such a cool, intimate space that immediately makes you feel welcome as soon as you walk in the door. There is a cute little bar and a cozy space with the perfect amount of tables inside. There is also a wonderful patio with plenty of outdoor seating. Our waiter, Lokahi, took such great care of us and was so warm, friendly and helpful with his suggestions.... But I have to say, I think that no matter what we ordered, it would have been great! We started with the little gem Caesar salad, the brussel sprouts and the patatas bravas... all were sooooo good! The salad was simple, crispy and fresh with delicious tomatoes, the perfect amount of Parmesan, and a superb Caesar dressing. The patatas bravas was equally as good - slightly crispy potatoes with a great tomato sauce that had a hint of spice and was incredibly flavorful! And the brussel sprouts were perfect - not oily, plenty of flavor and overall rounded out our apps perfectly. For dinner we each had the Salt Spring Mussels with a side of fries to share... the mussels were amazing, the broth delicious and the side of bread that they serve with them is the perfect addition to soak up all the savory broth. The fries were cooked perfectly and were seasoned just right! I have to say that Melanie is without a doubt one of the best dinner experiences that we have had in our 11 years of being in LA. From the food and service to the overall experience, I would give Melanie 10 stars if I could. Needless to say, I would HIGHLY recommend Melanie as I know that you will have an amazing meal with equally top notch service as well! We will 100% be coming back again and again!!!

I didn't make it here until March 2026 and after my first visit, I'm sorry I didn't come earlier. My husband and I came here on a Sunday night, with a last minute reservation I'd made on Resy. The restaurant wasn't very busy when we came in around 5:30ish. A lot of the tables were empty. They had both indoor and outdoor dining available, but the majority of the seats were indoor. The ambiance here is dark and chic, it reminded me very much of restaurants in NYC. It would make for a good spot for a date night or girls' night out. We made it here in time to order one thing from their happy hour menu, the tater tots. These were heavy but moreish, it was hard to stop eating them even when my stomach was telling me I was full. We also shared the corn, which I believe may have been a special/seasonal dish. It will go down as one of the best corn dishes I've ever eaten in a restaurant. My husband got the burger for his main and I got the mussels. The mussels were pretty fresh and silky, and were overall excellent, but I didn't love the broth they came in. My husband's burger was fantastic. It's one of the best burgers I've eaten at a restaurant in LA. Service was lovely and efficient. I'm looking forward to dining here again, and would highly recommend trying it.

I ordered an Angry Orchard Cider and my friend ordered one of their Espress-OR Martinis. It looked great but it was strong! If you are an espresso martini fan who likes this style of drink, you will probably enjoy it. There are metered spaces behind the bar and there is also residential street parking nearby if you pay attention to the posted signs. Overall, this was a fun find and I can definitely see why it has become a neighborhood favorite. I would come back to try more of the cocktails and experience another Trivia Night.

Chef Tara has helped us rediscover a new world of flavor without negative impacts on my husband's blood sugar and cholesterol. (Thanks for the variety of non-dairy cheeses!!) Tip for first-timers: go when you can have the brunch or the lunch menu. Then you'll have so many options that you'll have to return! Round 1 Polpettine (meatballs) are made from lentils and texture similar to the real ones; lovely marinara sauce and ground macadamia nut instead of parmesan. Complement this with the citrus notes that highlight the sauteed swiss chard with earthy Italian butter / gigante beans. Round 2 The same beans are in the Greek goddess salad: rich with tomatoes, kalamata olives, and fresh red onions. This was a visually stunning and paired well with the Sicilian almond 'tuna' melt. The tuna is by far the most imaginative. Again, Chef Tara and the back of the house nailed the texture and I loved the hints of crunchy celery. The capers injected tiny bursts of salt and tartness. The only moderation I'd consider is slightly crisping / toasting the sandwich bread -- but the tuna melt sando is great as it is. Pura Vida is a diamond in the rough especially because the storefront is pretty discreet. I sure wish that we lived closer. We'll be back for special occasions in our life!

The food was about a three but unbelievable that they can't have someone helping the host or telling the hostess that she needs to acknowledge the customers when they come in and let them know what's going on. So unprofessional. Also to note the restaurant wasn't busy. There were six waiters just hanging around talking to each other so they could've helped with all this or the manager could've gotten some help for the hostess, but she was left alone and either was not trained really well or the management is really bad and needs to get on this. Also, she said no tables were open at the main part of the restaurant so we had to sit at the bar and we ate at the bar, but no one took those tables and there were about six waiters still just talking and waiting around so we could've easily eaten there, so I don't know what she was talking about As for the food it was OK nothing great. The chicken schnitzel was overcooked and fried a little bit too much and the rigatoni was OK but if you want good pasta, you should really go to Madeo or Ebaldi so nothing to write about here in general if you just wanna try some other places, this is fine, but don't expect the best or maybe we just didn't have the right dishes

Parking: We opted for valet, but if you prefer to find your own parking, there's street parking as well as a nearby parking garage. I believe the garage is around $23 for the full day, unless you're able to get your parking validated. Food: Everything came out pretty quickly, so we didn't have to wait long at all! For starters, we shared the Bruschetta with Burrata, which was enough for all four of us to enjoy. The baguette was perfectly toasted, and the burrata was so creamy. It was a great way to start the meal. Once we finished our starter, our main courses came out. We ordered the Funghi Pizza, Rigatoni Vodka, Six Cheese Tortelloni, and Spaghetti Carbonara. The pastas were creamy and flavorful, although they did feel a bit heavy. Of the four dishes, the table favorite was definitely the Funghi Pizza. It was very cheesy, and the combination of the mushrooms and cheese made it a standout for us. We ended our night with the Panna Cotta, which wasn't too sweet, but overall felt a little underwhelming compared to the rest of the meal. Service/Ambiance: The service was great! When we first walked in, it wasn't too busy, but the restaurant did start to fill up later into our meal. Even with it getting busier, our waiter continued to check in on us and made sure we were taken care of. Overall: We had a great experience celebrating our birthdays here! The food came out quickly, the service was attentive, and everything we tried was enjoyable. I can't wait to come back and try some of the other dishes!
