Im giving tonight 5, because of the service and expecially because of Lumi, our server. The restaurant is listed as a great place to have paella. We decided to try. The restaurant front is small and unassuming but on the inside it goes deep in terms of length. There were not that many people at 7pm but by the time we left there were alot more.

Read moreI thought this place was quite lovely, solid 4 of 5 stars. We ended up here because the "famous" La Flauta had a huge line, and we had just come in from the States, so we needed to eat and not wait in line. Eventually we would get to that other restaurant. And I will say this is every bit as good, if not better.
This was our first meal of an 8-day stay, so it may not be a perfect cross-section. But we felt like it was quite good, full of a bunch of tapas basics, if you will.
Service was good and the atmosphere was casual. Clients were a mix of locals and tourists. The staff treated us every bit as well as the locals, which cannot be said of the "other" place.
Would recommend this for a solid, basic set of...
