Stopped in for dinner on our last night in town. We were able to get a table immediately! We ordered the seafood Paella & a bottle of white wine. Our server was attentive & the food was incredibly delicious! Smokey from the chorizo & seafood was cooked nicely. We also ordered the Spanish orange cake & it was light & delicious! Perfect way to end our stay with fantastic service & a memorable meal!
Disappointing! I has sea food paella with friends, it was quite good, so I decided to go back the very next day. Somehow, it's completely different, portion is less, missing calamari, mussels are not fresh, meaning the shells are closed tight, when I questioned, one of the servers said the calamari's are diced really fine you can see it, if I wasn't there the day before, I would believe it. Then they said they would bring me a new one, which who knows I believe they just refreshed my original one. They purposely put calamari on top, which is weird because they were not like that the day before. So I believe this is not freshly newly made.
Disappointed.

L'ambiance & le service étaient super. Par contre, pour ce qui est de la nourriture, nous avons été très décus. En lisant les avis Google, nos attentes étaient très hautes. Croquetas à la morue qui manquaient de goût. Steak de thon qui était beaucoup trop cuit avec très peu d'accompagnement & paëlla très ordinaire même si c'est la spécialité du restaurant selon la serveuse.
Pour un repas à 220$ pour deux personnes, nos attentes étaient beaucoup trop élevées.
Excelente ambiente y servicio. La Paella tenía mucha manteca no tenía gusto a paella. Mejillones pésimo tamano y mal preparados. Sin gusto a nada. No había ninguno de los dos postres que elegimos inicialmente, el tercero si, la presentación de este parecía un vomito.... Dos personas $ 200.
Super dîner hier soir en famille ,
Tapas au top
Sangria de bon aloi ( mon mari est très fier de sa phrase 😅)!
Les plats paella , thon , joue de boeuf étaient très bons !
& mention spéciale pour le dessert au fraises à la crème de poivre & les profiteroles 😜!
Merci à Élodie pour son sourire & à Carlos pour son accueil !
Service rapide & très agréable.
Cuisine sans saveur, en entrée nous avons pris des accras de morue, de la tortilla & des patatas bravas… tout était fade & pas assez ou pas du tout salé. Ensuite une paella… riz pas adapté (pas collant & pas croustillant), mon époux a reçu sa paella avec des rondelles de calamars crus. Par contre, bien servi en crustacés.
Preparez-vous à une note salée…prix assez élevés.
L'amabilité du personnel a relevé un peu notre déception.
Birthday dinner. Hard to get reservation, thanks to the concierge at the Embassy Suites for snagging us a rez.
Little bit of a rocky start on a very busy Saturday night. But the staff was attentive & made it right - all went well from there.
The tomato bread appetizer was delicious, a French Canadian bruschetta dish! Also tasty was the tomato dip & bread that came while we were waiting to get our table sorted.
Cod croquettes next. Very nicely done with a nice aioli'sauce' dressing.
The Paella with seafood & chorizo was a nice portion to split & very tasty, the rice done perfectly. & the little lemon water cleansing bowls were so amazing for the fingers!
Finished with a creme brulee' that was also delicious. Very crisped sugar topping for sure!
To really make things special, the owner made several visits to our table. Definitely knows how to treat his clientele, must send a shout out to him.
He went out of his way to really make us feel special. Amazing guy.
