    This was the second time since 2012 that we have eaten there. Even after all these years it was definitely outstanding; as we remember it.

    The food and service was excellent as always. The noise level is very loud, as always. A little noise is well worth the quality of the food.

    I decided to treat my daughter to dine here because she had never been and I was certain it would not disappoint. The food was fantastic but the service could have been better. Our server kept bypassing our table when serving bread (a must with the garlic shrimp), asking for a decision on entree after 20+ minutes done with appetizers, and offering a dessert option while waiting for 30+ minutes after finishing our paella. We felt neglected. Regardless, we tipped decently and will be returning, thinking that this may have just been a blip in what otherwise is an outstanding, traditional Spanish cuisine staple in New Orleans.

    My wife and I enjoyed the seafood paella. The seasonings, cooking and presentation were excellent. Our server made it a wonderful meal for us.
