Despana Fine Foods Tapas Cafe

I love this restaurant. The staff was welcoming. The cook was very delicious.

The food was excellent. We had the special Dover sole fish. It was cooked to perfection. And for an appetizer we had the seafood soup which I could have made my meal it was so delicious. The wait staff was pleasant and attentative. It made for a nice night.

At first there was no place to park, I had to wait for the parking lot, we were 2 people and they gave us a table for a super uncomfortable person. I ordered a paella that is supposed to be for 2 people I eat a little, and I really have been a little more than half in Spain and other places in the world where they make Paella for real Spanish, that didn't know Paella. I ordered croquettes from Serrano ham and they were only croquettes with a minimum of Serrano ham. My partner's flesh was what was really good. The prices are very high for what it really is. For these reasons, I will not return and I do not recommend it.

I have Paella from them at Communion. I really wanted to like it because it was advised and looked GREAT. But the rice was completely raw. The taste profile, good, but you can not eat raw rice. I tried to tell them, and they just stared at me empty. And a friend has informed me that she has stopped ordering catering from there for big events at a local college because she had the same experience. I'm sorry. Hopefully it's better in the future.

Intermittent lunch experience. The service was slow, although the restaurant was not busy. I was looking forward to the oxtail, which was the reason I came for lunch, but they were out. My next choice was bacalao... Settle for scallops with black rice. Scallops were super salty and too soft. Black rice didn't have much taste. All this for a pretty expensive lunch. I heard the paella is good, but honestly, it wouldn't bother to come back for it.
