Review:Fantastic Experience!!!! I took my family of 10 to this cozy little spot in Menlo Park and had an INCREDIBLE meal. Both owners, husband and wife, came by to check on us and chat with us about food and wine recommendations. Everything ordered was enjoyed by everyone. I think this is my new favorite restaurant! Service was good, but definitely a Euro-style dinning experience--expect to dine for 2 hours or more. House wine, a supple Rioja, was only $30 for the bottle but the extensive wine list featuring wines from all over the world will keep you entertained. Tapas and entrees were outstanding. The grilled fish for two was dynamite. I did not order the Paella but several large platters of this traditional cuisine were ordered at nearby tables. It smelled incredible...have to get back to try it. I stuck with tapas and "small plates" rather than an entree which allowed me to sample more smaller items. The lamb chops were perfect. Neat factoid: in summer months they offer cooking classes at very reasonable prices, $50-60 per person. I'll be signing up for some traditional Paella experience. Highly recommended.
