Filet is excellent, and loved the mushrooms that came with.
Antipasto, the jamón and queso manchego are fantastic.
Love this place…. Never had a bad plate here.
Pállela and tacos de fideo…. Mmmm good.

I know, how can I rate it two stars if I say that service, atmosphere, and food were all five stars? Here’s the thing: we went here for a date night and it was the perfect environment. The service was friendly and wonderful. The food was absolutely delicious. The problem is that shortly after sitting down they brought us some bread, as is traditional in similar restaurants. When we received the bill, it turned out we were charged for the bread. There was no mention that the bread was not free, we did not request the bread, and it’s usually free when placed on your table like that.
So, we’ve decided never to return, as this is a horribly unethical policy, to say the least. You cannot charge people for food they did not order and were not informed came at a cost.

I had a wonderful experience at Romesco’s. The atmosphere reminded me of a time I had at a little restaurant in Paris. The lighting was of an amber hue, the table setting was clean with nice linen napkins. The waiter was friendly and engaging as well as prompt. The star of the show was the food! I shared with a friend the meatballs, queso and tacos. I could drink the meatball sauce- it was that incredibly delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant!

The good: The lamb was on points The creamy mass potatoes under the lamb was on point. I don’t know the exact name but they had these potato, cheese, bacon, breadcrumb balls that are so delicious with the dipping sauce.
The bad: We actually sat outside and I felt a little neglected by the time we left My water had not been refilled so I was actually a little parched.
The Ugly: When it’s busy in here, it is extremely hard to get from outside to the bathroom. I felt like I was going to run into someone’s table.
Overall: The food was so delicious.I am more than likely going to come back but I am not going to come back during peak hours.

Date night on Valentines at Romesco. I was hoping to have had a great experience. Unfortunately, this was not the case. I am very big on great service makes for a big portion of your restaurant experience. Food can be good, but if the service is great, this makes it for a positive experience. If the food is great and the service is just as great, this makes it for an outstanding experience and worth recommending. On this occasion, this unfortunately was not the case. From the beginning, our server Carlos, was not attentive or seemed not to be very interested in us being there. Our table was wobbly, I asked him if he could please fix it. I had to ask him 3 times and even had to ask the hostess before he finally came by to fix it. The annoying thing is that the restaurant is not big and he kept passing by our table simply ignoring us. That was strike one. Second, this night was a preset menu, I ordered the fillet mignon, he didn’t bother to ask how I wanted my stake. Once we got our food, my dinner was salty and my stake practically well done. From that point on, he never bothered to come back and check on us, while passing by our table multiple times and not even looking our way. Again, this is a small restaurant, so there is no way to miss us. It appeared to us that he was just delegating to others and not making sure anything was done. He seemed more interested on what was going on with other tables then his tables. Finally, we asked him for 2 glasses with water, he asked someone else to get it, but after passing by our table multiple times again, he didn’t bother to look at our table to see if we had gotten our glasses with water or even getting it himself. Finally, another server noticed us and we asked him for water. The only time he actually spent a little effort was when we asked for the check. It was even more annoying when he checked how much I tipped.
I’ve been to Romesco’s before and have had a nice experience. This is why I had decided to have Valentines date night here, but after this experience I have to reconsider my future restaurant choice or even recommend it.
Again, in my opinion, service is what makes or breaks a restaurant’s experience and tonight was a big fail. Sorry Romesco!

Wife and I regularly go here for some excellent selections of tapas and always the Caesars salad. Great Happy Hour prices and the tasty food never disappoints. Gil always provides excellent service at the bar and we regularly meet very nice people also enjoying the food and drinks at the bar. House guacamole is fresh and I enjoy the cazuelita de costilla de res and always the cazuelita de gambas. Hector also provides great and friendly service at the bar. We enjoy the Paoloni Sangiovese Grosso with our tapas…

Everything was perfect till it wasn’t.
Larger birthday party went off without a problem and bill paid.
A hand full of us stayed for music and cocktails. They kept the large party charge on the bill. Very disappointing

It was great . Ordered on line and food was ready at the time we requested. We had dined in before and ambiance was nice and the food was good but portions were surprisingly small ( Albondigas ). They looked big in the picture. I would rather have 2 BIG meatballs than be staring at 4 tiny little ones.

Ordered a couple days before the Super Bowl for pickup. Order was ready on time. Food was great and we enjoyed all of the tapas we got!

My friend and I came here to celebrate our birthdays together on a Saturday night. Definitely recommend making a reservation especially on the weekend as the place fills up fast. Plenty of parking available in the lot.
The restaurant itself is very cute and cozy. There’s both inside and outside seating available. The service was great and efficient. The menu has a wide variety of options to choose from and lots of different wines and cocktails available. The food was pretty good. It’s worth a try if you’re in the area!
Food and drink review:
Complimentary bread (always a plus)!
Pinot Grigio: Very smooth and tasty.
Caesar salad: (3/5) I was expecting it to be amazing here but it was very simple and not worth the hype. The fresh black pepper did help with the taste.
Beef filet mignon carpaccio: (3.5/5) This was an interesting dish. The fried capers on top were definitely an interesting touch. Very small serving for the price.
Wouldn’t order again.
Calamari fritti: (4/5) This was pretty good! Nothing spectacular. It was cooked well and had good texture.
Bolognese Penne dish: (4/5) This was huge! It was very flavorful. Came with delicious melted cheese on top and I topped with chili flakes for an extra kick. You can definitely share this with the table.
Lasagna: (4/5) It was pretty good but it was missing something. I wouldn’t order again.
