Sobre De La Mesa — Restaurant in Krakow

We recently dined at the Spanish cuisine restaurant in the AC Hotel Krakow, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. Upon arrival, the staff seemed inattentive, and we had to wait a while before being acknowledged. The service throughout dinner was average at best.

We ordered the paella, and it was the worst I've ever had. The rice was uncooked and drowned in tomato sauce, with a few pieces of seafood on top. The taste was far from enjoyable. The rest of the food was just average—nothing stood out—and considering the high prices, it felt like a poor value compared to other meals we've had in Poland.
