    This restaurant is closed. I’m not sure why Open Table even allowed me to make a reservation.

    We had a 2:30 reservation. We called twice, ahead of our reservation. One asking when brunch ended (we were told 3:00 PM). Second, asking if we came at 2:30, would we be able to order paella or wait til brunch was over. we were told "you can order paella at 2:30). when we ordered, we were told brunch didnt end til 5:00 and we couldn't order paella. we also made a reservation for a standard table due to physical needs and apparently our reservation was "lost" and we couldnt have the standard table (mind you i had to put a $10 hold down for this table as well)

    We had gone a few times over the years and most recently in October this year and the tapas menu has always been excellent — we invited friends to go with us end of November and had cancelled prior reservations at Barcelona Wine Bar because of our great experience at Pamplona. We were so embarrassed and disappointed as the tapas menu was different than what we had had previously and different from what was posted on line. I had checked it that very day and when we arrived there was a much altered shorter version. Only meat option was the meatballs. No grilled calamari, no chicken croquettes, only one dessert item churros on the desert list. The first wines we asked for were not in stock. The server was very friendly, not his fault the menu had been slashed. Very few servers so we waited a long time for our drinks once we ordered. We ended up just ordering burgers and steak as the tapas menu was so limited. The burgers were bland but the fries freshly cooked and hot on arrival. The steaks were undercooked. More rare than the medium which was requested. So in the end we did not get tapas and ate mediocre generic food. Pamplona needs to update their current menu on line so customers have appropriate expectations when they show up. Overpriced for poor quality food. Unfortunately not a good experience this time.
