We went to Aventura on a Sunday evening in summer and they were able to seat us - I was pleased by this! Even though it was busy, we were still able to get a nice seat in the main dining area.
We might have ordered the paella because that's what they are most known for ... but this requires an advanced order of at least 40 mins (on a less busy night). My friend and I were on a slight time limit, so we decided to skip the paella and order some tapas instead.
Of course we order the batatas bravas (a must have and classic) and then we chose two other tapas at random; We also ordered the PULPO EN SU TINTA (baby octopus on top of squid ink (very interesting, not our favorite but interesting presentation) and the Gambás (grilled and seasoned shrimp (we loved this).
The service was great, but we were expecting all three tapas to arrive at the same time. Instead we received each tapa plate at a different time - seemed like 20 mins between each plate... by the time the last plate arrived at our table, the food was already cold.
The restaurant is beautiful; there are dimmed lights throughout the restaurant, giving it a cool and intimate vibe - very good place for a romantic date or fancy night out with friends or solo. One thing I wasn't a fan of and that I noticed when we got up from the table to find the bathroom is that the tables/chairs are positioned pretty close to each other in some areas and this makes it hard to move and flow around the restaurant.
Overall, nice restaurant and wished I got to try one of the paellas! read more
