updated the waiter apologized for the very slow service and took the drinks and the paella off the bill when we paid. And in response to the comment below - half of our party were early but were not seated or offered drinks.

Really wanted to like this place. It's a great location and we chose it on the basis of the decent reviews. The food is passable, not spectacular but the service is appalling.

We booked a table for 7.45pm but it took at least 45 minutes for any of the waiting staff to take an order for drinks. Eventually drinks arrived and we had to beg them to take a food order. Our starters arrived relatively quickly and were tasty enough but then the wait began. We waited and waited and waited for someone to clear our plates and bring the main courses.

Eventually I asked a waiter. In a moment they said. They say this a lot. A moment is a long time in Casa Marieta. The waiters clean a lot of tables before they attend to customers. It is just odd. They are slightly polite when they attend to you but seem to have little interest in good customer service.

Most of the main courses arrived...and we waited for the last 3...and we waited...and waited...and waited...the rest of our party finished eating...

Finally the food arrived 15 minutes later. I do not recommend the paella. It is not worth waiting for.
