L'Arrosseria Xàtiva

Worst service. I never find myself writing reviews, however, I need to get this out. Girlfriend and I had a reservation, we were seated and we were really just trying to grab some quick bites. Waiter said we HAD to order a main dish otherwise he’d have us leave, whatever.

So we chose paella. Mind you, my girlfriend asked if the paella could be made for 1 person only, as you usually order paella for 2 people minimum, and as we had already ordered a lot of tapas. Waiter said yes fine no problem. We didn’t really want paella but since we had to, we made sure to the waiter to order for 1 person only, of which the price was €19,50. the waiter told us there was NO minimum of 2 people and we could just order for 1 person.

There were no notes on the menu stating that we had to order for 2 people minimum as some other dishes had. So there is no way we could’ve known what was going to happen.

Food was great.

However, when we got the bill, we saw 2 PAELLA VALENCIANA whatever it was. This was clearly not how we ordered it, as we had ordered for 1 person.

I walked up to the counter and I asked why the bill had 2 paellas, the waiter said “yea well the minimum order amount is 2 and we can’t change it and because there’s a lot of demand for paella our minimum is 2” I told him I understand, but I said him to please state that on the menu as I have now paid for 2. He then said ‘we sell per pan’ and ‘2 ppl minimum’ whatever. 1 pan = 2 people. There’s NOTHING on the menu that states that. It just says and you can look it up ‘€19.50’ Don’t put up a dish like that when you’re gonna charge me something else on the bill.

Also, waiter was being very nice to the Spanish folks, however was being a jerk to us since the beginning.

TLDR great food. worst service i have ever gotten. will not come back
