What a wonderful experience. Been here many many times. It feels fresh every time. Feels like you’re in Europe, you forget where you are at. Beautiful restaurant, excellent attentive service, great food, best sangria ever. We are here the night we got engaged and just celebrated our 30th engagement anniversary here. Had many landmark evenings here. Such a romantic place. Can’t wait to celebrate more evenings here.

Food was extremely salty. Ordered the scallops and lamb sausage for appetizers both of which were extremely salty or maybe had waaay too much seasoning. Same for the mushroom and sea food paella. Server asked if we would like some bread before the food came out and we said yes. Didn’t know they charge (quite a bit) for it. Not worth it.

Our waiter was so pleasant and thorough that the evening went spectacularly. Great service sets the tone. This restaurant is always full of people having fun and enjoying good and rather unusual food for this area.

A long time favorite, Aioli is a great relaxed fine dining experience. Their paella accompanied by a selection from their list of Spanish wine can't be beat.
