She was also rough slamming utensils and dishes which was wild. Squid Ink Croquettes was very good in my opinion. Lots of ink and chunks of squid. Good flavor. Shrimp Ravioli in Seaweed Soup was more like a dim sum dish... A glass of white wine was €10 which is high. Butter was very good though as expected.

Mistakes happen but it's how people deal with them that set them apart. they were super apologetic and then comped our drinks and got everything cleaned up. As for the food I found it pretty tasty. The clams were a unique preparation that strayed from the butter garlic wine sauce that is so common these days. The artichokes were tasty. The tomato and bread dish was great and the atmosphere lovely.

More than enough for the 2 of us. The chorizo and sautéed seafood stood out the most and the others were delicious. The sangria is in the sweet side, may not be to everyone's taste. It was flavorful and potent. Get the litre. We arrived at 10:15 and they closed at 11 and they sat us right away. The service was very fast and friendly. When I mentioned we were celebrating our engagement the waiter brought us over a gift. The price can't be beat for the amount of food. For 5 tapas and a pitcher of sangria it was under $60 euro. We highly recommend. Enjoy!

We are so happy we stumbled across this place on Yelp, as it is just what we were wanting (and the food was so good!) When we went there, it appeared to only be locals there (it isn't in a super touristy area), which is always a good sign. We ordered a few of the side plates (they were sold out of a few, but that's also a good sign), and some meats and cheeses. The wine selection was great and we enjoyed it, very much. They appeared to be closing early that night, so we are happy we got there in time. Definitely check this spot out

There was one other group when we started our meal and by the end of the night each table was filled. I totally understand why. The paella is absolutely delicious. Be prepared for a little bit of a wait, the menu says it takes about 30 minutes to cook but it took over an hour. We only got the 2 person size but it was absolutely more than enough. When we were leaving we met Ramona downstairs and she was absolutely hilarious. Overall, an authentic, warm, and welcoming place.

On y prépare la paëlla (fameuse et copieuse) sur commande et on peut même emporter des sandwiches ! Une ambiance simple et conviviale, assurée par Ramona et sa fille.

Good list of wines and spirits, with wine by the glass still reasonable (€7). I had oxtail terrine as a starter - it was delicious, literally cleaned the plate. Veal liver with mushrooms was outstanding - real wild mushrooms (for those of us visiting from the US, it is a big deal), liver itself perfectly cooked as requested and perfectly seasoned. I like how side dishes are served in the little cups, without clobbering your plate. Had some Basque cake as a desert - that was not my favorite, but that's okay.

We all got French onion soup to begin with - it was good, a bit overloaded on cheese though to my liking. But the liquid itself was tasty. I had duck confit as my main course, and it was delicious.

I had a taste and it was really, really, really bad. I don't know whose wild idea was that, but this completely ruined the dish. Honestly, if this would be my order, this would be a 3 or maybe even two star review. Good service. No recommendation here. It is Paris. There are other choices.
