A really quite delicious Spanish Tapa restaurant hindered by really god-awful service…read more We were seated during happy hour and only the second occupied table in the establishment. "Lucky us," we thought, "now our waiter surely won't be distracted." How naive! After sitting around aimlessly, our menus finally arrived five minutes after sitting down. Our drink orders finally taken ten minutes after that, and my mother was weirdly talked down to while asking a simple question about happy hour. Despite all of that, we were still looking forward to our meal, enjoyed our tapas, and awaited our main. It never came, and as the waiter came by to ask us how everything was we told him what was missing. Apologetic he was not. Unfortunately, the food really was quite good and genuine (otherwise it would be easier to write La Taberna Giralda off completely). Its ambiance is cute, despite its harsh overhead lighting, and it's surely a nice place to take in a Flamenco show or some Spanish music. Still, if you're someone who expects or enjoys good service, I recommend you take your business elsewhere.

My only small comment would be that the lighting felt a little too bright for dinner I personally think dimmer lighting would make the atmosphere even better. Paola was our server and she was wonderful. She recommended the cheese croquettes with a touch of spicy honey, and they were SO good! We also tried the octopus, which was amazing super flavorful and very well seasoned. For our main, we ordered the churrasco and it was cooked perfectly. We had a red sangria and a Diet Coke with dinner. By the end we were completely full, but we really wanted to try the Basque cheesecake, so of course we ordered it to go. Overall, we had a really good time, enjoyed everything we ordered, and the service from Paola made the experience even better. Definitely a place we would come back to!

Now to the nitty gritty... The flavors were lacking. The Bao bun's filling was dry and lacking seasoning. The dates were ok The gyoza were so small and overcooked so they were hard and dry on the inside. The wagyu tiraditos needed a few slices of bread or crustinis- something to dip in the sauce. This was the only appetizer that had flavor. As for the good service being a tad much, plates were removed before asking and quickly. Almost felt rushed. I realllly wanted to love this place. I've only heard great things and was really looking forward to it. Been wanting to come since they opened. Could they have had a bad day, sure , but for the price, I'd expect better portions and flavors. I feel like they're cutting corners and we were afraid to order entrees and be disappointed so we decided to leave after the apps. Not sure if I'd try again.

If I was writing this review about only the bread and water service then it would be 5 stars across…read morethe board, because that's all we received for the first 35 minutes of our dinner. We dined here on Saturday night. We were running a few minutes late, but within their accepted window. The hostess told me that was fine. Upon arrival, the hostess said it would be 10-15 minutes before our table was ready. I noted there was an available table by the entrance, and she said we could sit there now instead if we liked. I said that's fine, as long as won't be forgotten/ignored. She insisted it would be fine. At 5 minutes we received bread and water. The gentleman said he was not our server, but one would be here shortly. And then at 10 minutes nothing. 15 minutes went by and I flagged the guy that gave us water and asked if we could have a server. He said of course and apologized. At 20 minutes we went back to the hostess stand to inquire why no server had seen us. She offered us a table in front of the bar instead, which essentially set the clock back to zero. A couple minutes later the guy with the water came by with more water and bread, but we just wanted to order. It took 10 minutes from being seated before we finally saw a server, which if you're keeping score is a total of, yep, 30 minutes. At this point I was over being hungry and had lost my appetite. Ordinarily I would have walked out from the experience at the first table, but my man was still hungry and I was not about to starve this amazing human being because of my principals. Hubs ordered a cocktail and we placed our dinner order finally. We both opted for the Miami Spice. I went with the crab cake for the appetizer, and branzino for my main. My man did did the pumpkin soup and paella. It's a personal pet peeve when the food shows up before cocktails, as I think they really help open the appetite, and honestly make everything taste better. After about 10 minutes our appetizers showed up yet no cocktail in sight. Finally it arrived and it was so strong it was impossible to drink. In our 20s we would have been thrilled at the booziness. In our 40s? Not so much. We each tried another sip after it had watered down, and even then it still packed a Kool-Aid man punch and we struggled to make a dent in it. Now the food here is actually really good if judging based on taste alone. The pumpkin soup was exquisite, and my crab cake was delicious! I loved the guava aioli. Alas, a great meal is more than a combination of ingredients. The preparation is also key. And this was lacking. The crab cake looked like it had been pan-fried perfectly, but instead the outside was a soggy disappointing mess. My bet is they either: 1. Batch make and reheat these, likely in a microwave 2. Messed up another order and gave me one that had been laying around for awhile, or 3. Rinse it under water before serving for some bizarro reason When the entrees came out there was literally steam coming from hubby's paella. It was fresh and ready! And omg, it was perfection on the tongue! My branzino? Le sigh. The fish was excellently prepared. The mashed potatoes? COLD. Veggies? About the same. I guess they made mine and left it sitting while the shrimp paella and fish finished up. These details are what makes a meal excellent, and it's disappointing to see so many things neglected in a place that otherwise executes really flavorful and creative food. This meal could have easily been 5 stars if it wasn't for these lackadaisical oversights. We rounded out the dinner on an upswing at least. I had the Crêpe Caribeño and my Mr opted for the Tres Guayaba. The crêpe was filled with coconut and dulce de leche, with a brulée finish on top, and a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was decadent but surprisingly not overly sweet. The Tres Guayaba was saccharine sweet for me but my man loved it! Now, this place had already left a bad taste in my mouth. But what made it even worse was the next day I went to have my leftovers (half of the branzino and mash/veg. I took 3 bites and on the 4th somehow managed to find the largest thick fish bone that lodged up and stabbed deep into my gums in the fleshy spot behind the two front teeth. It took 3 tries to yank this sucker out. Idk how such a big bone got missed by their kitchen. I am lucky I didn't swallow that because it absolutely would have been an ER visit. That shit was traumatic.

This art inspired theme restaurant does not disappoint. The statues and artwork on the walls are absolutely stunning. The staff here is satisfactory but not exceptional. We arrived around 3:30pm for a very late lunch and were pleasantly surprised to get a very nice prefix lunch menu filled with wonderful options for $26.00 or $32.00. The restaurant started us off with warm, gooey bread, served alongside a delicious garlic butter and a tomatillo pesto sauce - very scrumptious! We ordered the following: Three salads, 2 house salads and one cesar salad. The house salad wins this course. The cesar salad was terrible, no dressing, no croutons. Very strange. For our mains we ordered: Grilled chicken breast a la livornese, served Picatta or Marsala style. I opted for the Chicken piccatta that came accompanied by the most delicious ziti. I absolutely loved it! The spaghetti & meatballs. This dish left something to be desired. Little to no sauce on the plate and the meatballs were too dense. 3rd main was the Spaghetti a la Carbonara. which was very good but begged for more egg inside. We all got the same desert Crepe. 2 we ordered with Nutella and 1 we ordered with Dulce de Leche. Both were equally delicious and served with ice cream. I've been to Cafe Catula before and I remembered loving the vibes, the food and the culture, that feeling still stands true. Cafe Catula has stood the test of time and will hopefully continue to do so. I look forward to coming back and trying something new.

The wait time was quick--under 5 minutes--on a saturday night and we were seated outside. We started with a fried seafood appetizer, which was enjoyable. For my main dish, I ordered the linguine alle vongole. Unfortunately, it was extremely disappointing. Every bite contained noticeable sand, making the dish gritty and inedible. I asked for it to be removed from the bill and declined a replacement. The manager, Fabian, came over but did not seem very understanding or accommodating. Stating they always clean their clams and that he would see with the kitchen. While the dish was removed, the issue didn't feel properly acknowledged. Overall, the experience was disappointing, and I likely will not return. I have been to many restaurants and asked for this same dish and never had to crunch on sand
