Rudest Employees in Town

by RestaurantReviewer234 at Citysearch

I was meeting some friends who were already seated in the restaurant. I sat down next to them, and was immediately accosted by the wait staff. I was instructed to order an entree. I wanted tea, so I ordered tea. I was told, "No, you can't get tea. You must get an entree." After trying unsuccessfully with this man to order tea, I tried another waiter. He blew me off and said no, and referred me back to my other waiter. So I took a menu, and told him to give me a few minutes. Several minutes later, an older man, I'm assuming one of the bosses, came over angrily to the table, double checking that everyone had ordered an entree. Not an appetizer. Not some drinks. If you are seated at their restaurant, you must get an entree or they ask you to leave. I think that is ABSURD. They refused to serve me a drink (which I was willing to pay for!) if I did not first order an entree. I never did get my tea.

Also, the food seemed pretty overpriced, and the indoors were a bit dark and cramped. The restaurant had a very strange layout. I'm not returning here ever again.

  • Pros: Food seemed ok
  • Cons: Rudents employees I've EVER dealt with. And it's cramped.

THE WORST MEAL OF MY LIFE! nEEEEEVER again!!!!!`

by otroyansky at Citysearch

A meal at this restaurant was the worst meal of my life. I am trying as hard as I can to erase this experience from my memory because honestly it was the worst 60 dollars I ever spent. I went to this restaurant because it was recommended to me by an out of towner and I should have known...because this meal was disgraceful! The minute I walked into this restaurant I knew this was not going to be a good experience....it was disguisting and looked unsanitary. In fact the main dining room looks as though cows were slaughtered there an hour ago and they tried to mask everything with ugly artwork. It felt as though I was in another country....a third world country to be exact. The food was nasty, flavorless, and honestly places like this should not be allowed to exist. I found a hair in my paella, and the sangria was like fruit juice. And to top it off the restaurant doesnt accept credit cards....which is not stated anywhere! So we had to run out to get cash to pay for this disguisting and attrocious meal....i wish I could have walked out....anybody who said that this place good spanish food is on something, because it was the worst, nastiest meal of my life. I would rather give the money to a bum then to ever step foot into this establishment EVER again!

Free tapas, cheap and tasty sangria, average food, friendly service

by lizzyred8 at Citysearch

Had dinner at Spain last night. Waiters are so pleasant, and the free tapas came out immediately. sangria was good (wish there was more fruit) and portions are pretty large. With tip we spent about $32/person and had plenty of food to bring home. I would definitely return for a low key night.

  • Pros: prices, service, portions
