Amazing test. Take you back to Spain! Very authentic and fresh flavor. I will come back soon. Octopus was amazing. Shrimp was good as well. Ambiance is chill and soft. Service is Byron's friendly and caring. read more

We had a great experience at El Campo! The service from ( Duda ) was outstanding she was attentive, friendly, and truly made us feel welcome. Her service made all the difference in our visit. The drinks were amazing, well-made, flavorful, and high quality. The bartender, (Ugur), was also very attentive and made sure everything was perfect. We were very impressed with the overall experience and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend L Campo! read more

My friends and I were very excited to try this new place. We waited 6 weeks in order to give them time to work out any kinks. We were a party of 5 and arrived at 6:15 pm on Saturday night knowing we would have a wait since they don't take reservations. We were told it would be 45 minutes. After 1.5 hours, we asked for an update and were told 10-15 minutes more. In the meantime we saw many parties of 2-4 get seated and served. After 2 hours we asked again how long it would be and got a shrug of the shoulders. No apology or concern. We left feeling very disrepected. What a disappointment. read more

Great Spanish restaurant. Reasonably priced shareable meals. Unique cocktails. Blankets for those of us sitting outside. The interior is small. read more

Accommodating staff, great tapas and drinks and great atmosphere. Hit every note a great restaurant should.

Great new place downtown! Beautifully designed, attentive staff, amazing food and delicious drinks. Love the ambiance. Must try the paella and the short ribs. It was delicious. read more

Food was outstanding. We tried the seafood paella. A little crispier rice as a recommendation from the bartender. Great choice. The octopus and short ribs with beans were also very delicious. I loved the cozy vibe with Spanish guitar music playing in the background. Oh I forgot to mention the cocktail with tequila, pomegranate and canela. Scrumptious. Great place. A must try. You won't be disappointed. read more

Absolutely beautiful spot and a welcome, upscale addition to downtown. 5 stars because they're new and deserve it, despite some glaring issues. Some notes: Pro and a con: - The portions are HUGE! I would rather see smaller portions and a slight reduction in price so we could try more things. If you are going as a foursome though, you'll be set. Cons: - Only somewhat Spanish. It's more of a Middle Eastern take on Spanish food. I'd say it's more of a fusion. It seems like no one in the kitchen actually spent time at a Spanish kitchen or, at the very least, didn't grow up with it. Whether that's true or not I don't know, but that's how it looks - The patatas bravas is more of a stew than the traditional dish - Plain white sliced bread (like Wonder bread) with rosemary is an odd choice over the traditional crostini or thick-sliced ciabatta - Staff doesn't seem to really know the menu. When I asked for the Jamon Iberico they said, "12 or 24?" The Iberico is 24 months. The Serrano is 12. Would be nice if it was served with a few slices of manchego just to break up the mouth feel. Also, why rosemary bread? It drowns out the delicate jamon - They keep some of their red wines in the fridge. This is a shame as they have a decent selection of wines but you have to wait for it to warm up before enjoying. Once I let the Tempranillo come to room temperature, I really enjoyed it. If you're doing that to help it keep longer, then find another system. - Another way I know they haven't done much time in Spain? No sherries - Gambas (not al ajillo) were incredibly overcooked and didn't really have much sauce. Part of the joy of this dish is using your bread to get at that sauce - We came in at 8:15 and though the kitchen got everything out quickly, the bar team seem to just be working to get out of there - The pickled vegetables were mostly onions but it was a good brine. Just need to balance it more Pros - Staff is charming and engaging. Everyone said hi and bye to us - Incredibly well decorated and laid out. They clearly thought about this a lot and it's a sexy spot for a date - The pan con tomate was really well done. Tomatoes are in season and they used them well. We'll see how it goes in December. Again though, would be nice on the traditional Ciabatta or crostini - The endive salad was perfectly dressed (this is actually hard to do and they got it right) - The price is a lot of bang for your buck - They have great sauce options and they are each well executed - Cocktails are pleasant and creative. I hope they keep them seasonal rather than trying to serve a watermelon drink all year - If you are getting some of the small plates, the paella can easily serve four. All of them looked absolutely beautiful I think this place is going to do just fine, even if they completely ignore all my comments. Livermore wants something like this and there aren't a lot of Spanish spots to compare it to, so they don't have any real competition and customers don't really have a frame of reference. We'll definitely be back to see how things evolve. Glad they're here. read more

The restaurant and atmosphere were amazing. The service was great and everyone was very friendly. The food was delicious--I got some tapas, and they were extraordinarily good. I had a great experience here and will definitely be coming back to explore the rest of the menu. read more

Service outstanding I thought the Tapa portions were so little! Paella was ok, not great. We Din not eat much for $500. read more

Wonderful food, service & atmosphere, with a large number of vegetarian and vegan options, we love it!

For a new restaurant they really know what they are doing. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the ingredients and what to recommend. The food I mean it's beyond delish my only complaint would be I would've loved more rice in the paella but other than that it was so delicious. I would try everything on the menu! read more

Went here for the first time today and everything from the food to service was beyond amazing! I usually don't leave reviews on yelp but feel like I had to speak up for this wonderful establishment that finally came to town! We ordered a bunch of tapas to share: Croquettes were excellent, the best I've had in my life Octopus was soooo good!!' Iberico Jamon just melts in your mouth Grilled beef was good but probably the least amazing compared to the others Bread with olive oil was really good too Seafood paella was amazing but a bit salty We were gonna order churros but were informed that they temporarily took it off the menu to perfect it. So they recommended the orange flan and it was very nice Also got a bunch of cocktails and they were yummy and gorgeous looking Service was very attentive and professional We got there right at 5pm when they opened and there were already a lot of people being seated. Then after a while there's a line, so try to get there near opening if you can read more

NOT GLUTEN FREE! BEWARE OF CROSS-CONTAMINATION AND UNTRAINED STAFF. Unbelievable!This very upscale restaurant has GF next to many of its menu items (the menu at the restaurant). When I asked if they used a dedicated fryer, they said, "Yes, but we cook everything in both fryers, not just GF. When I asked if they had a separate area where they prepare their GF dishes, the three people working there gave an adamant, "NO." Then they looked at me like I was asking a ridiculous question. When I asked if they at least use separate utensils for preparing their GF items, they all shook their heads and said, "NO." There were three employees answering my questions. This is why people with celiac or extreme gluten allergies get ill. Clearly, they use GF to attract customers, but do not care about cross-contamination. At this point, even if they were to respond that their employees didn't know, the fact that their employees are not trained in gluten intolerance and cross-contamination is all I need to know. read more

I have eaten dinner and brunch here and both were fantastic. The servers are very attentive and the atmosphere was fun but allowed for conversation. The tapas, especially the potatoes and cured fish are exemplary. I especially enjoyed the paella. The drinks are creative and yummy. read more

Me and my sister came here after taking a walk downtown in Livermore. We picked this spot because it had a nice bar. As we first walked in, the host, a blonde older white lady (I don't know her name) looked me and my sister up and down (we're obviously women of color) and didn't say a word. We then proceeded to seat ourselves at the bar where we got two drinks, mine didn't even have alcohol in it. We were also ignored by both bartenders after receiving our drinks and were not checked in on. The cherry on top was when were told to move from our seats to accommodate other people Overall, I recommend you stay away from this restaurant unless you want to be racially profiled by the staff. We recommend The Black Cat instead, it's nearby and provided us with excellent service! read more

L Campo - Watermelon cocktail (virgin apparently) and a passion fruit cocktail - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Livermore, California

i had some amazing, flavorful food here, and the simple, cozy vibe and friendly service made it such a great spot to grab a bite.

My husband and I tried L Campo on NYD, and have fallen in love with everything about it, from service, food & cocktails. My fav place right now. read more

Cute spot with a small intimate inside but outdoor seating is available too. Food and drinks were all beautifully plated and had good flavor. Would dine here again. read more

See all

Pro: watermelon cocktail was tasty (and pretty), friend enjoyed her maitai like cocktail. Service was fine, no complaints. Nice interior. Cons: food was blah. Ordered 3 tapas and 1 side. All were very bland and all 4 had the same sauce (or it was so similar we couldn't tell the difference). Heirloom tomato bread was the Would go back for a drink at the bar maybe but not to eat read more

Service was attentive and the wine and tapas was great. We had a cozy table by the front door for table watching. The new parking structure is just across the street and made it really easy to get there. read more

First time there with friends. We are very familiar with Spanish food and have eaten in Spain and at many Spanish restaurants throughout the Bay Area so we had a lot to compare it with. LCampo is a very pretty restaurant, exposed beam ceilings, lovely modern rustic feel, beautiful lighting fixtures and a relaxed vibe and ambiance with a beautiful bar. Having only opened 3 months ago it was apparent that they are experiencing growing pains in terms of service which was sloppy. Our server was completely unfamiliar with the alcoholic beverages we requested, brought the wrong drinks and then was rude when we brought it to his attention. He threw things on the table and walked away. Not a mention of please enjoy your meal. As the restaurant became busy his inexperience showed as he became frustrated and rushed. The food- some of the dishes were very good but the majority were way too salty. The "angus beef" tapa was overcooked, tough and not worth the $29 charge. The fried calamari was so thin it was tasteless and tough. We all agreed that the sauce for the beef was very good. The patatas bravas a favorite dish was disappointing. The cubes were tiny, not at all crispy on the outside and rather than tasting a beautiful smoked paprika, the taste was that of a hot sauce and vinegary. The best tapas were the vegetable croquettes and braised chicken. Both had excellent flavor and not overly salty. The worst dish was the $55 sea bass, the fish itself was cooked beautifully however the sauce was horrible and so salty it was almost impossible to eat. Dessert- Churros, very thin, no flavor. Rice pudding we agreed was tasty. They should offer authentic flan not "cheese flan" which is essentially cheesecake. Overall we felt that the restaurant needs to grow into itself a bit. Train servers to be polished and professional. Teach them about the food and drinks- they should be able to explain everything about each dish. Realizing that even in Spain dishes are made differently from restaurant to restaurant, some basic knowledge about seasoning should be apparent and taste the food chefs- the salt was overwhelming in most dishes. We may try it again to see if improvements have been made over the next several months. For now probably not. read more

This place has promise...we liked being able to see the cooking going on behind the glass wall and our tapas were pretty good. However, the service left alot to be desired. The restaurant is not very big and it was only half full at lunch and we first ordered Bloody Marys. We were over halfway done with our meal by the time our drinks came and at that point I was going to cancel the order altogether. I was facing the bartender where i was sitting and couldn't believe his slow pace. And, the drinks had practically zero alcohol. Then there was our server, I think her name was Ella. We had to ask the hostess her name because she never introduced herself. She stopped by our table once after the meal was delivered. Thank goodness the tapas were decent. If I go back again, I'll hope for much better service. read more

Great food, prices, service, and ambiance. Would recommend coming by and getting a paella.

Amazing!! Love everything on the menu, and service was incredible, loved our server Eric, and the ambiance was very nice

Fabulous service, a welcoming and modern interior, and some of the most delicious tapas I've ever had. Truly. The grilled beef was a top choice, but the patatas bravas were also wonderful, as were the fried cod and tomato toast (really!). What a wonderful new addition to the downtown restaurant scene. read more

The service is always immaculate and I really appreciate how they allow you to choose the amount of crispiness you would like on the bottom of your paella! read more

Food was very yummy. Had cool cocktails that were very tasty as well. Loved the ambiance. Great service as well. Nice addition to Livermore. read more

I felt like I was back in Spain. The food, customer service and the atmosphere is awesome. I just can't say enough. This restaurant just opened and I feel it will be a hit!!! Livermore just got another great restaurant! Thank you L Campo for a great experience. read more

A huge shout out to LCampo ! By the looks of the packed restaurant, everyone has caught on. There was 8 of us and dinner and service was outstanding! The Paella and fried calamari was to die for and another guest said the short ribs was the best he's ever had. The interior is gorgeous and we loved the open kitchen. Every detail - from the hostess, to the servers and kitchen staff was top notch. We cannot wait to go back. It was well worth the wait! Welcome to Livermore! read more

great food, great service. had the spanish charcuterie, calamari, short ribs, patatas bravas. so delicious, highly recommend

the dinner was great, the staff is learning and i look forward to returning. the octopus was fantastic.

Wow this was SUCH a disappointment. I really wanted to like this place. I love tapas and Spanish food, and was excited to try a new place downtown. Unfortunately, it was just not good, from the slow, disorganized service to the bad food. The starters were OK -- kind of bland and not very interesting, but not terrible. I was looking forward to trying the seafood paella because it's one of my favorite meals but it was SO salty I couldn't eat more than a few bites. I have NEVER sent a dish back, but this was unacceptable. And the seafood didn't taste fresh, either! It was such a bust. We told the waiter honestly that we didn't like it when he asked. He was really awkward about it and didn't offer us a discount or refund. He did offer a free dessert but at that point I didn't want to eat any more of their food and none of them sounded good. I think in these situations they should at least give you a discount. Ugh, I am so bummed about this. Livermore needs a good spot but unfortunately this is not it. read more
