Menu

I should've turned away as soon as I saw the typo on the menu "The Best Tapas in Twon". Just like the menu, everything including the food and service was awful. We ordered a pear salad and got a salad with canned pears. Who in their right mind would serve canned pears to their patrons? We also ordered a ribeye steak, what arrived was far from acceptable. We received a gray colored, flavorless, and under-seasoned steak. The steak wasn't even a ribeye, it was a sirloin. It had no sear and no appeal. The mojitos were mediocre, and the tapas we ordered were nothing to write home about. The best tapas in twon? Maybe, but the best in town? Definitely not. Barcelona Wine Bar takes that crown.

Ensalada Mediterranea
Leslie P.

Sweet hidden gem! stopped by here while i was going to open houses in CT and this spot really did it! the staff was incredibly kind and accommodating (dog onsite for their outdoor seating) and the food was absolutely delicious. we were ironically on our way elsewhere but i'm glad we were so hungry we decided to stop by here instead because it was ridiculously filling and flavorful. They were even kind enough to bring out a dish in 2 plates already split up since they knew 2 people were going to be sharing it!

Sangria

If you don't try anything here. You Besta (better) try the Sangria... We did happy hour, thank God we arrived at the perfect time. We tried one of everything on the menu. Money well spent... Thank you for a wonderful service.

Amazing Tapas lunch! The food was really delicious in a cute atmosphere! They're doing a great job keeping in their protocols during these trying COVID times.

Puff pastry
Andres A.

We had a wonderful meal at this restaurant. The ambiance and decor of the restaurant was really good. As we walked in, we were immediately greeted and seated. For starters we ordered a pitcher of Sangria which was delicious. For appetizers we had the empanadas and stuffed lamb peppers. We were served two empanadas, one beef and one chicken. My preference was the beef. The stuffed lamb pepper was absolutely delicious, definitely my favorite appetizer. For our entrees I had the surf and turf which was delicious and plated beautifully. My girlfriend had the short rib pappardelle entree and she thought it was awesome. The servings were very large, we loved it. To finish off our evening we had the puff pastry with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate. Unfortunately I was not a fan of the desert. I would have preferred if the puff pastry would have been a bit lighter and warmer. Overall we were impressed with the establishment and definitely will return to try other items from the menu.

Risotto de mariscos
Alissa C.

Came here for dinner with the Groupon discount. The food here is unlike any other place I've tried. We had the risotto de mariscos (favorite dish) and lamb kabob tapas, and my penne pasta with chicken and spanish sausage entree was melt-in-my-mouth amazing. Such rich, unique flavors that are hard to find elsewhere. Even the brussel sprout salad was packed with flavor! The dessert was also great - not as excellent as the entrees but still very impressive. Also, extra points for restaurant ambience; loved the classy background music. Service was fast and courteous as well, up until the end. Had to go up and ask for the check after 15 mins post-dessert, but then again it was near closing time. The restaurant was really cold so be sure to bring a jacket. Overall, I love this place and I will certainly be coming back :)

I received the worst steak here I've ever had. It was grey, no crust, no taste. Would never go here again.

Great place!! Will be back. I don't understand why this mostly Spanish restaurant wasn't packed…read more Pretty place with a decent sized parking lot. Large bar area, a larger dining room great for private events (which they do a lot of) per our attentive waiter and a smaller dining area near the front window. My friend and I had 3 of their specialty cocktails while there which we enjoyed very much. We had the octopus with fingerling potatoes which was delicious; the octopus was very tender. We also had the mussels in a white wine broth, it was great. It was a good sized portion for two, but we almost ordered another as it was so delicious. It came with bread to soak up the yummy sauce. My friend had a decaf cappucino and the goat cheese flan since she didn't want anything too sweet. It was also great, the tangy cheese wasn't noticeable in it and kept the flan from being too sweet (personal preference). They had other flans and Dulce de Leche as well.

Decided to come back with a friend a few days after a Yelp event and was just as impressed, if not…read moreeven more. Their standards of high quality food, drinks, and service does not stop at an event. The food was a 10, the service another 10, the atmosphere is high up there, too. Even with an event going on in the main area, I never felt like I was imposing on the other party as the restaurant is spacious and sectioned. Definitely recommend and will be back!!

So on my way to do a side quest for my job, I decided to see what I could have lunch. Originally,…read moreI had my sights set on an El Salvadoran joint over on Fort Point, but that was essentially a cash only place, so I continued on to see what else was available. After a fair bit more walking, I walked by this place, a Greek restaurant that was in the same plaza that used to have a Five Guys there. Initially I walked a slight bit further to see if there wasn't anything else, but it didn't take me long to circle back around and head over here. Customer service was fine. It was my first visit here, so they walked me through how to order, and yes they do have menus you can take if you decide to come back in the future. I did however want to take a pic of their wall menus for Yelp because that's what I do as a Yelper. They kind of said it right away as I took my pictures, which leads me to think they have a slight bit of trouble trusting the process. That said, I won't knock them too much for it because I knew they meant well with it. I do however want to point out one comparison that one of the employees mentioned here: that their ordering system was like Chipotle. Now, I know some people swear by Chipotle and would likely die on that hill, but I have been to Chipotle enough times that I really wish she didn't say that. It undersells this restaurant to a point that putting this on the same level as Chipotle is a disservice to Truly Greek. Why? Because unlike them, this place is actually cleaned after, and the bathroom is cleaner and actually encourages good hygiene. Qdoba would be a far fairer comparison if that employee really wanted to name a fast food establishment to compare this to. If you choose to eat-in, be careful where you sit. They had a chair keeping the door open, so I spent my meal feeling the cold wind blowing on my face. Seriously, are they trying to turn me into Frosty the Snowman in late May? But if you're willing to brave it or choose another seat, the chairs are made of wood with bamboo cushioning. Honestly, the chairs weren't bad to sit on. The food was good. Not perfect, but good. I first tried had the Greek Fries. The fry itself has a light crunch, but it's also a bit limpish if that makes sense. The feta cheese do bring it to a higher level and makes the fries pretty good to eat. The one thing I did notice as ate these fries was that the vinegar that went into the dish stood out more than the rest of the dish, and I can't be sure if that's a good thing or not. It really depends on how much you like vinegar, but yes, the vinegar was quite prominent here. As for what I built, I had a pita with tzatziki, lamb, red pepper, feta, red onion, and cucumber as well as a second sauce I don't quite remember. It was another sauce that was whitish in color. Gyros in general are a tad difficult for me to get through, but this was a good gyro and I wouldn't mind having this one again. If half-stars were a thing, I'd give this a 3.5, but I rounded up to a 4 here. Other than the windy air coming in, this was an overall good visit. Oh, interesting fact, the boss came in while I was in the middle of my meal. I didn't talk to him, but it looks as though he brings his family here every now and then. I mostly ignored these interactions because the only thing relevant as far as I'm concerned was me and my food. So yeah, there ya go!

I drive by the place all the time, as it's right down the street from my home and had to try it…read more BEAUTIFUL rustic decor. Exposed wood beams and wood floors. The walls are filled with amazing art to admire while you dine. The restaurant is very clean and it's one of the first things I notice when I sat down. Lots of appetizers/tapas to choose from separated into hot tapas and cold tapas. The Mejillones (mussels) were finger licking good!! We also got the oxtail empanadas. They did not meet my expectation but still good. Lots of paella options to choose from: meat, seafood, classic...etc. We ordered the classic paella and it was delicious!! Full of flavor. One waitress running the show, who I assume to be the owner and she was a pleasure to talk to and quick. There is a lot next door you can park at but it's small. However, the street it's located on has plenty of street parking.

We have been to Paella a few times but before I was a more avid Yelp reviewer. Haven't been back in…read moreawhile and was craving some authentic paella. This restaurant immediately came to my mind and we were off! Happy to report it is still what I remembered it to be- wonderful food, great drinks, relaxing atmosphere, and friendly service. I did not take photos of everything we got for the table. One of my favorite appetizers here is the codfish croquettes and they were melt in your mouth good- highly recommend these! We came for paella and went with the classic version..... it definitely hit the spot. The rice was perfectly cooked and crunchy in the right spots. Seafood was cooked beautifully and the spices with the chorizo made it all a balanced and delicious dish. So happy we were able to come back to Paella and we will be back (hopefully) more regularly!
