I received a call that the restaurant was going to cancel my reservation due to an emergency with one of the staff 15 minutes before we were due to arrive. I explained that we had a special occasion with friends traveling 2 hours just for the paella. They graciously stayed open for us and provided a wonderful experience and a delicious meal. I cannot thank them enough for accommodating us.
