Came here with friends to enjoy a nice night out! 1) Place is fancy, clean, and welcoming. 2) Service is a bit formal but over the course of the meal it gets friendlier. The male server seemed a bit stuck up... but it may have just been his way of being. The female server was very friendly and talkative. She made us feel welcome. 3) The food was excellent! From the Bread, to the appetizers, to the main courses... all excellent! Had Sea cucumber... wow. Excellent! Ceviche... excellent! Jamón Cerrano: excellent! Wagyu steak was excellent... perfectly just salted with sea salt flakes. WOW! Everything was excellent! Please give this place a try. Cheers! read more

D'Tomas - A Masterclass in Overpriced Mediocrity Ah, D'Tomas. Where your money goes to die, and your taste buds go to suffer. Let's start with the audacity of charging 24,00€ for bread and silverware -- yes, they literally billed us for having forks. The bread showed up uninvited, dry as the Sahara, and without butter or olive oil. We had to ask for that like it was some kind of luxury item. We ordered the paella, which clocked in at 27,50€ per person -- not bad if it weren't the worst paella we've ever tasted. Overcooked, flavorless, and so reduced it looked like someone had already picked through it. Valencia is the birthplace of paella, and this was a national embarrassment. With water, sodas, and that stunning 24€ utensil fee, our total came to 180€ for four people. For that price, we could've had a table full of tapas, actual service, and probably some joy. The cherry on top? The waiter's attitude. He acted like we ruined his night just by sitting down. Cold, snobby, and clearly annoyed by our presence. Our hotel recommended this place (thanks for nothing), but when we told them about the bread and silverware charge, they looked horrified -- locals never get charged that. Classic tourist trap move. Bring your own fork, bring low expectations, and maybe leave your dignity at the door -- they'll charge you for that too. D'Tomas - Una clase magistral de mediocridad a precio de oro Ah, D'Tomas. Donde tu dinero va a morir y tus papilas gustativas a sufrir. Empecemos con la descarada estafa de cobrarnos 24,00€ por el pan y los cubiertos -- sí, literalmente nos cobraron por tener tenedores. El pan apareció en la mesa sin pedirlo, más seco que el desierto, y sin mantequilla ni aceite de oliva. Tuvimos que pedirlo, como si fuera un lujo. Pedimos la paella, a 27,50€ por persona -- no estaría mal si no fuera por el hecho de que fue la peor paella que hemos probado en nuestras vidas. Sobre cocida, sin sabor, y tan reducida que parecía sobras recalentadas. Valencia es la cuna de la paella, y esto fue una vergüenza nacional. Con agua, refrescos y esa gloriosa "tasa de cubiertos" de 24€, la cuenta total fue de 180€ por cuatro personas. Con ese dinero podríamos haber disfrutado una mesa llena de tapas, buen servicio, y probablemente algo de felicidad. ¿Y la guinda del pastel? La actitud del camarero. Como si le hubiéramos arruinado la noche solo por sentarnos. Frío, con aires de superioridad, y visiblemente molesto con nuestra existencia. Nuestro hotel nos recomendó este lugar (gracias por nada), pero cuando les contamos lo del cobro por pan y cubiertos, se quedaron horrorizados -- a los locales nunca les cobran eso. Una trampa para turistas en toda regla. Trae tu propio tenedor, tus expectativas por el suelo, y quizá deja la dignidad en casa -- igual también te la cobran. read more

Q Tomas - Here is the bill to prove my point - Spanish Near Me - Valencia, V

Beef was incredible!!! Bread is lightly toasted on outside and fluffy on inside. The cooks are nice and ready to ask any questions. I recommend sitting at the counter where you can see your food cooked!!! read more

I hated the way they snuck in a utensil charge and bread we did not ask for just because we looked like tourists. Who does that!!!! Were we supposed to eat with our hands and fingers. They only do that for tourist because our hotel Person recommended it and after we complained they said they have never been charged for utensils. The service was horrendous. But the worst part was the paella rice was hard and had no taste or sea food at all. So disappointing, so bad! read more

The restaurant wouldn't accept a customer wanting to dine alone. In an area full of hotels with tourists traveling for work, parties of one should be accepted. Quite disappointed on being turned down read more

Three of us had dinner here the other night during our stay in Valencia. A bit pretentious walking in, and we developed a bad taste in our mouth when we looked at the menu and saw that most entrées were for a minimum of two people. So one person couldn't order paella (which is common). One person could not order fish. Etc. The prices were quite heavy too. That said, we decided to order a glass of sangria each, and a paella with artichokes and calamari for the three of us. This is when our moon got better. The service was extremely attentive and good. The sangria was really tasty and when the paella came, we devoured it quickly. The evening ended up being a smash hit for the three of us with the good service and the good food. I would say I think the restaurant is a little too fancy for what it needs to be and I wish that we could have ordered a fish dinner for one person, but that was our option to stay. Thanks for making it a great evening though. read more

Lovely Spanish restaurant on a very busy street with a lot of competition. I wasn't too hungry and only ordered an entré 'grilled calamari' which was simply lovely. Very clean, straight flavors. Accompanied with a glass of sangria which was also a delight - perhaps not the best pairing but enjoyed them both. Service was just right, quick, courageous and on point. Next to this restaurant, there's a Japanese (opens at 21.00) style one that seems to be 'sisters'. Food sounds incredible and some is featured on Q Tomas menu. All in all, a pleasant experience. read more
