Reviews
If you have kids (maybe aged 10 and below) with you, be prepared to sit at the back of the restaurant, near the restrooms. Place was pretty empty when we arrived, 2 families with kids were directed to the back while adult only groups seems to be seated away from them or quite randomly (but still away from the kids).
Our group ordered a ton of different appetizers, before having three paellas to share
Out of the seven appetizers we had, my favorite had to be the focaccia. it was incredibly soft, fluffy, and I could eat it fully on its own without any dipping sauce needed. I also enjoyed the albacore crudo.
The rest I was kind of mixed on. The baguette was far too chewy for me, and the truffled potato chips were begging for salt that just wasn’t there. The peppers had the opposite problem, where by themselves they were good, but the sauce didn’t really taste like anything.
For our mains, we ordered two mixto paellas – coming with chicken, chorizo, shrimp, clams, mussels, and rice, and a vegetarian paella
These paellas were massive. They were $55 each, but I think one could easily feed 3 different people. There was so much rice, meat, and vegetables involved
They also lived up to it taste-wise – as these paellas were easily the best part of the overall meal. Even excluding the meat, the combination of the saffron rice and braised sofrita was delectable. The amount of flavor being held by each grain coated by the sauce is what really makes this dish special.
The meats being good made it even better. I loved the mussels, clams, and sausage. The shrimp was a bit overcooked but definitely high quality – but my favorite was the chicken. The skin was incredibly crispy, and the inside was just as good. The amount of chicken provided in the mixto paella was also impressive
The vegetables in the vegetarian paella also did their part; tasting both fresh and filling
Along with a drink, the price ended up being roughly $60 per person. The appetizers are way overpriced in my opinion – some being over $20 for something that’s not a lot. While the paellas are more expensive, they’re also just so much bigger
One odd thing: the server felt very short with us, like they weren’t making an effort to provide good service. I wonder if the 20% automatic gratuity has anything to do with this – because they feel like they don’t need to be polite since there’s no additional tip coming anyway
Overall, it’s a nice, albeit expensive place, but if you were to come here, I would order one paella for every 4-5 people and that’s about it. 8/10
Worth mentioning, the rooftop seating here is gorg and the prices are very reasonable considering how bomb the whole experience was. I will wholeheartedly recommend brunch here to anybody. Nice classical music in BG too.
The best bites for us were actually the desserts, the apple cake should make its way onto their regular menu.
When we visited in the evening, it seemed like there wasn’t enough staff, so the service was a bit lacking. The hot dishes arrived before the cold ones, which felt a bit off.
We sat at the bar, and right in front of us was a large crate where dirty glasses were being collected—not the most pleasant or hygienic sight.
