This is a Spanish restaurant that’s a bit on the pricey side, so be forewarned. It’s one of those nice linen tablecloth and napkin places and is very classy.

According to the menu, it appears that everything comes a la carte, but we were served a bowl of rice, two bowls of brussel sprouts and carrots, and a couple of plates of homemade sliced potato chips for no extra charge. There were nine of us, and the sides were plenty to share.

I had the Norwegian salmon for $26.50. It included a small boiled potato on the side, but as I mentioned, somehow, we got a couple of additional sides to share.

The slab of salmon I was served was HUGE! I could barely eat all of it. Three others at our table ordered it also, and the serving size was the same for them. It was cooked perfectly (not dried out at all), and had a wonderful flavor to it.

The server wasn’t the friendliest person in the world, but he did ok. No orders were screwed up, and there were two runners keeping an eye on our table and even bringing more drinks as we ordered them.

The paella was also ordered by one person - it was enough for two or three people to fill up on.

The other dish I remember from that night was the American Red Snapper pastelera style ($29.95). It sounded good, and I almost ordered it, but the server warned us it was served “whole fish” style. Translated roughly, this means, it still has the head, tail, etc. I just can’t eat fish that way. However, the person in our party who ordered it was very pleased with it.

After dinner, Pepe (the owner) stopped by to chit chat with our eclectic group of nine. He even posed for a group photo with us. Shortly thereafter, the waiter stopped by to tell us that Pepe wanted to buy us a round of drinks. What??? Where else does this happen? Viva la Pepe!!!

In summary, I would definitely stop by for a good Spanish style meal - be it seafood, or steak.
