The food is delicious. Love the chorizo, croquettes, braised chicken and mushroom paella. Our server was attentive and friendly. The vibe is both sophisticated and casual. Love the window to the kitchen. This is definitely going to be a favorite in Livermore. read more

We were wandering downtown LM and saw L Campo. I assumed it's fairly new since they only had a few reviews. Walked in and got a table right away. They were pretty busy though on a Wednesday night. They have outdoor area too where we sat. Service is amazing -- I don't say this a lot because service (overall) has gone down so much everywhere but this place proved me wrong. They were very attentive in a good way, very friendly and accommodating. Food is delicious -- we ordered a couple items and all of them were above 9/10. Anchovies were good, not too fishy/salty for me but still flavorful, the croquette 10/10!!! I ordered the pickled veggies too, random but I enjoyed it very much, might be too pickled for some but I would order a jar if I had the chance. We got mushroom paella, maybe we should've gotten extra crispy next time, 8/10. Drinks were delicious, 8.7/10 Would recommend and come back. read more

Ambiance was nice love the open kitchen and table designs in the back but majority of tables out front are way to close together and leaves no privacy between you and your neighbors. Horchata was delicious but unfortunately the rest of the food was so so. We had Octopus was fresh and soft but sauces served with it did not have wow factor. Had jamón was fine but bread served with it was lacking fine dining. The seafood paella was so small for the price a few pieces of seafood and no flavor. The server was very sweet and young but unfortunately she lacked ability to describe the dishes little knowledge of the menu described one of the dishes as the same sauce as a previous dish they served but since it was our first time we had no knowledge of previous dish we laughed about that. It was ok but probably won't return Sabio on Main is way better read more

Excellent food and service. The place was packed and the team was up for the challenge. What struck me most was that for a place that had only been open for a month it felt like it's been around forever. The paella was so good and all the tapas we had were on point. Please go support these guys, you won't be disappointed. read more

I had an amazing time last night at L Compo! Everything, from the food to the service, was exceptional. The bartender, Haleema, truly stood out.Incredibly sweet, attentive, and she made some of the best drinks I've had. Highly recommend, and I'll definitely be back! read more

From cocktails to small plates. This place did not disappoint. Service was spectacular! We have a new gem in town.

Had an absolute fantastic first time experience here at El Campo! We had excellent service from Nani who was very kind and attentive every step of the way and even shared some of her favorite dishes with us. The owner Mete had inspired us to try outside of our comfort zone and try some tapas we wouldn't think otherwise and they were out of this world good which were the croquettes, stuffed peppers with goat cheese, and patatas bravas. Also, me and my girlfriend both had paella for the first time and it was so delicious! Finally, Yusuf and the other staff always checked in on us and cleared our plates with ease and filled our waters consistently. The churros was also a great finishing touch to the meal, light but filling. This is a must absolute visit with a great ambiance if you are in downtown Livermore! read more

After finishing the Livermore Light Wine Trolley Tour on Saturday night We were looking to find a place for a light dinner at 8pm. We did peek in quite a few windows and L Campo caught our eye as the ambience and menu looked inviting. The food and cocktails here were amazing, and the service was outstanding and quick. The octopus and anchovies' toast was a first for the 4 of us and only made us wish we had more of a appetite to experience more of the menu. We will be back for sure. The icing on the cake was our server Nani, who was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and super fun to talk to. Her level of service was second to none and when we do come back we will be willing to wait as long as we have to to make sure she is our server. L Campo...you have the food , you have the ambience. You also have Nani. Hang on to her as long as you can. read more

Delicious. Expensive but really good service and food. My top places to go. Really love the paella, extra crispy.

Was so excited to try this place! Ended up being very 'mid'. Drinks, appetizers, and main course were all bland. Not bad, but not good either. I wouldn't come back. Service was lacking, no helpful direction. "Everything is good". Very cold inside. read more

Everything was delicious, including the drinks. Our waiter was knowledgeable and friendly. We had a Great time. And the inside is beautiful -- total change from the previous restaurant! read more

This place is absolutely sensational. We had a table reservation but ended up sitting at the bar. We had a couple of the Conitos, little crispy cones, which were delicious, excellent chicken and skirt steak and the churros are so much better than any churro I've had. We didn't have the Paella so we could have more Tapas but this was some of the best food I've had in the area in a long time. San Francisco quality without the pretentious attitude. Highly recommend. read more

Food was delicious. The shishito peppers were perfectly sautéed and the heirloom tomato toasted was perfectly portioned. We also got the chicken paella which was cooked perfectly. The drinks were also delicious though very mild. My only minor "complaint" was that the waitress was almost overly nice. She was very sweet but at a certain point, the constant check-ins are enough. Besides that though, the food was yummy and I definitely recommend checking L Campo out. read more

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

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

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

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

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

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!

Visited L Campo last night -beautiful restaurant- wait staff was great - food-meh -Maybe i set my expectations to high -we ordered three different Paellas -kinda of reminded me of rice a roni -one highlight was the ham croquette they were delish -Over all 5 stars for the wait staff atmosphere -not so much for the food -sorrry 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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
