Went for New Years Eve. Not very busy. Food was okay. Seemed short staffed. Decor & furniture need updating. Stained ceiling tiles too. Probably won’t return.

Great food, seemed under staffed by 1 server for a holiday period. Hopefully just a call out. Happy to get in 15 minutes early while it was still more empty. FoH service was still slow. Both had price fixed option. Food was good. Had a special request to remove sausage from one dish. Came out with sausage anyway. Had to wait longer than expected to have dish corrected. My partner had to wait while a new paella was prepared correctly while I ate. They left the other paella for us to have. Check was more than appropriately adjusted with our asking. Will return.

Some of the tapas, like the grilled octopus and lamb croquettes (a special of the day) were exceptional, and most were very good. Fans of gambas al ajillo may want to skip it, as the shrimp were disappointing. El Pulpo also has many paella options, and the Valenciana was nice. It had a good crust around the edge of the pan and rich flavors.

Staff was attentive but let us set the pace. We weren’t rushed. Low noise level made conversation easy. Food was delicious. All around enjoyable evening.

One of the best meals I have had in some time. The grilled artichokes were my favorite along with the paella Valencia and the pistachio cheesecake.

The food was excellent. We had the brussel sprout shaved appetizer over risotto appetizer and it was presented in a tower and was very good. The octopus appetizer was perfectly cooked. The skirt steak was also good. The squid ink paella was tasty but slightly over cooked. We will definitely return and bring more of our family
