Bellota

"The rice was not fully cooked in the seafood Paella, still have white inside. We asked the waiter, he said he consulted with two chefs and they said this is the way Paella should be. I don’t think so, the under cooked rice is different than the rice should be in a Paella. Here attached the picture of the rice, the white center clearly shows this wasn’t fully cooked. Well, we don’t want to wait for correction, just eat the seafood on top of it. Then we found a fly in the wine glass… the waiter said it was not there before. What? Minutes later, he brought tiny bit of wine to us, really just the very bottom of the wine glass, as apologies. Anyway, will not be back anymore."

"Restaurant looked really fancy, with a great ambience and a spacious interior. There were live performers playing the guitar Spanish-style, and the servers were really attentive and engaging. On the food: The paella served here does not have much flavor, and I've been here twice and tried their Lechon, Mariscos, and the Setas paella variations. However, the pulpo is really good (soft and not rubbery with good flavor), gambas rasted great, and the churros are really light and crispy. Overall a good experience, but being a paella lover this was not my personal favorite."

"We ordered 4 items including the bravas (not pictured) which caught me by surprise - I wasn’t planning on eating potatoes but they were too good to resist! Crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, they paired really well with the dip. The Bellota and Gambas were a tie for me - interesting and good, but not outstanding. The jamon of the Bellota was enhanced with the pan con tomate, while the olive oil and orange garlic sauce of the Gambas helped the prawns - otherwise just ok by themselves - standout. In the paella, the lechon was really rich and juicy, though we were a bit disappointed with just two pieces of pork belly. The mariscos by comparison fell short for our liking, lacking enough flavor in the rice. Overall the experience was great - good ambience with live music, and attentive service. I would recommend checking out this place at least once, though I probably wouldn’t come back for another visit in the near future."

"Food was really good except for the cruda being a bit too fishy to my liking. The crispy pork belly paella and gambas were particularly amazing. Staff is awesome too!!"

"Food wasn’t really exceptional to justify the price. Portions were small, and just alright tasting. The servers were also weirdly brusk and discourteous that it was just flat out rude. Not worth a return."
