Hestia Tapas Bar — Restaurant in Songshan District

Valentines Day Dinner 2024: I made a reservation one week before and didn't get any notice that there was no à la carte dining. à la carte dining and no drink menu?? I couldn't order any beer to TAPAS, just wine, coffee and tea. The first few items of the set they brought out VERY quickly so we had 3 different dishes on the table (soup, salad and one tapas) at the same time. For the main dish we had to wait very long. Not sure if our waiter had his first day, but he didn't bring out our ordered tea drinks (we didn't order any wine), up until we asked for them. He also didn't pour us any water and seemed helpless. Shrimps were pretty tasteless. The paella was ok. Total was $3.200 for 2 people, which was, for that service and food, not worth it. Should have been around $2.000

The grilled mushroom was a mixed review between us, as it was a bit overcooked and over seasoned. The turron tiramisu was not a tiramisu, but a cake. The texture was too firm and they didn’t use enough mascarpone cheese. If you are looking for a classic, authentic tiramisu, please skip this dish. Try the churros for us and...

To celebrate an important date, we choose this Spanish restaurant, just because the birthday girl would like to have paella!

Store environment 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 Space between tables could be improved, I could easily hear the conversation next table. Other than that, the overall atmosphere is excellent!

Service Attitude 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 The temple and timing between each dish serving is appropriate. Your wine glass and water glass will always be filled.

Meal Flavor🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 I am in favor of both Tapas, melón con jamón and garlic shrimp. The soup with lots of seafood is also amazing. In terms of main dish paella, the flavors is just Ok, not...
