Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Can Font combines authentic Spanish flavors with a welcoming atmosphere, perfect for any occasion. "Friendly staff and wonderful food," with highlights like the lamb chops and vegan options. While some found the paella underwhelming, others rave about the tapas and cocktails. Consistent service and a "beautiful interior" make for a memorable dining experience.

    Our server was very pleasant. We ordered the tomato bread which was ok. The bread part was a little too crunchy to my liking. The mushroom soup was not good. It was too thick due to too much flour. The rack of lamb and paella were tasty. The part we weren’t satisfied with was the extremely long wait for each dish. We saw food sat on the kitchen table for 10, 15 minutes without being brought to the guest tables.

    Fancy place where they take your coat at the door when greeted by the host. Tapas sharable plates. Got a table by the window. Good wine selection. Mushroom soup was amazing! Tried 2 kinds of paella shared between 4 people. Plenty with 1 or 2 appetizers. Very good. Appetizers were smallish. I’ve had much better shishito peppers. Eat slow and enjoy your time.

    The food was fantastic. Highly recommend the beef cheeks. The service was slow. The bar was constantly behind in drink orders, one dish did not come out on time and overall it seemed the staff wasn't paying attention much. The restaurant is cute, but cold. The door would open and an icy blast would come in. They could use to install some drapes or other means of keeping the dining room warm.

    We had an early dinner (5:30) which we appreciated as the noise level started to rise around 6pm. Our server was very good (although she did try to upsell us on appetizers, which we didn’t appreciate). The beet salad and the ceviche appetizers were both excellent. My dinner partner loved the marisco paella - he asked for the crispy rice option (socarrat). I had the vegan paella, specifically asked for soft rice, but got the soccarat. After a few bites, I had to send it back because I really, really don’t like that scorched and chewy socarrat rice preparation. That threw off the rhythm of the meal, as my dinner partner was finishing up when my meal arrived. The vegan paella pales in comparison to a meat-or-seafood paella, but it was nice to have an unusual vegan choice for a change.

    Dining at Can Font was an outstanding experience. The food an service were excellent and it was wonderful to have a dining experience where we didn't feel rushed as table turn over did not seem to be an issue. We will be back!

    Had high hopes for Can Font as I see it’s busy all the time but the food was a total miss. We ordered some appetizers and a paella and the paella was inedible. Staff was overwhelmed but friendly.
