In Short – The room's bold orange walls, concrete floors and Picasso- and Miro-inspired paintings complement the rustic timbered ceiling, open kitchen crammed with paella pans and handwritten chalkboard menus. Smartly dressed 30- and 40-somethings enjoy spirited conversation and a wide variety of fresh tapas and cooked-to-order paellas. Sample offerings include grilled Catalan tomato bread; mixed salad of greens, roasted vegetables and imported jamon; and saffron-scented seafood paella of clams, mussels and prawns.

Running a restaurant means mastering kitchen and house
by ACEOR
90+ degrees outside, 89.5 inside. Can't blame the server, but it sure left him struggling. Plus only one server on duty. A party of 14 had them swamped, and they must have known, becuase their table was set a half hour before they arrived. 1 server could not keep up.
Creative kitchen, maybe not inspired, but certianly enjoyable. Server did not have a chance to succeed. Too bad.
Sign of the times, or sign of management? Who knows. Hope they do better next time, but there are too many other reviews with silmilar comments.
Can't agree at all with those who griped about price. Good ingredients and careful prep. costs money. Not cheap, but not gouged either. Maybe server should better describe size of serving, which did not correlate to cost.
- Pros: Good Food
- Cons: struggling service

Food is so good I had to share!
by latinamina
For years I've used citysearch to read reviews and find out where the best restaurants are in Portland. Never bothered to get an id or write a review until today. The Paella was fantastic! I'm Cuban with grandparents from Spain; finally a decent restaurant in Oregon with good food! The fish and seafood in the Paella were cooked to perfection, the taste was exquisite. The chorizon appetizer another great experience; just the right amoutn of spiciness. And finally the crema de catalan, delicious but not too sweet. I will be back!
