    This is the best little gem of a spot and I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys tapas in a gorgeous setting! Food was fantastic and our server was on top of everything. I have an allergy to black pepper and he made sure I was apprised of every item I could and couldn’t eat after consulting with the Chef and they were very accommodating! The Basc cheesecake was over the top delicious to end your meal.

    We have always in the past had excellent dining experiences here. Last night we brought family thinking that it would be a great experience for everyone. The service was ok, the food however was mediocre at best. The bread was the best part. We ordered a mushroom dish that was so tough it was barely edible let alone cut. The scampi was tough. Bummer because the sauce was good. The rest of the food was just ok. Maybe even blah. Don’t know maybe they have a new chef. Oh yeah and it is not cheap. Not worth it just for the ambiance. The ambiance is great!

    We were at their Paella night by accident and are so glad we were. It was a fantastic experience. The place is beautiful and the perfect setting for a romantic dinner.

    Overall, had a great experience. Our waiter was a bit pushy, he needs to relax just a bit.  The stem on my wine glass was a bit sticky. The atmosphere, the food, and the wine were excellent.  Wish I lived closer because I would come here more often.

    Del Rey was amazing until it wasn’t. I had mad the most disrespectful experience ever at this restaurant. I am looking for a California based lawyer to bring closure. I am a lawyer myself. Please reconsider
