Landed on Costera for this year's restaurant week venture. Had a great experience. We decided on the 4 course family-style tasting because we really wanted the paella and the 3 courses didn't include it lol. The website was a bit deceiving in that it looked like we get to choose the 4 courses, but it was the chef's choice. Service 9/10: Our waiter did an amazing job explaining all our questions about the dishes we were interested. We love when a waiter knows the menu in and out, rather than just saying everything is good lol. The only nit-picky thing I have to say is it took a little minute to refill my water. Really not a big deal, but I did notice they had a ton of staff working. Course 1: Boquerones were delicious. The anchovies on top of the crispy sourdough with sauce were an excellent combination of textures! Pretty yummy. I don't care for olives so didn't pick at that much, but they were alright. The bombas were crispy bites of deliciousness. And lastly, my favorite, the American Red Snapper Crudo was so goooooooood. I am a fan of raw fish so it may not be for everyone, but for those that enjoy the taste of the ocean, you won't be disappointed. Super refreshing and paired nicely with the citrus, pistachio, and chili for added texture. Course 2: The Mixed Mushrooms were a mix of various types of mushrooms topped with crispy bits and egg yolk in the center for aesthetics and richness. Super flavorful and juicy. I'm not a salad type, but I will say I enjoyed the grilled salad. Just a nice, flavorful, refreshing grilled salad. Loved the pickled vegetables and salad dressing. Course 3: The seafood paella!!!! If you get anything here, I recommend this. Truly a paella like I've never had. With an abundant assortment of different seafood including shrimp, mussels, clams, and octopus I loved every single bite of it. I think I'm missing a few other ingredients in the dish, but the rice was cooked and seasoned to perfection. All the different bits of vegetables added layers of textures and paired nicely with everything. Course 4: The chocolate mousse was good. I thought mousse was a bit more airy but I'm not too familiar so. read more
