While at Gold Coast we went to La Paella Restaurant where we previously had dinner the year before. The dish itself was tasty so we decided to go back to it again and this time we thought we'll take friends with us. Well what can I say? The customer service was poor, apparently they ran out of bread and openly... More

Just awful! After driving around for an hour trying to find this place, no one seemed to be too interested whether we were waiting for a table or not. The staff seemed totally stressed out and understaffed at that. When the paella arrived, OMG a plate of soggy rice with a few even soggier prawns, I think we fought over... More

I had the uttermost horrible experience dining in this garage. To commence the waitresses and maitre are not dressed properly. They are ignoring Spanish culture which very exigent in terms of dressing with the right clothes when you are attending Spaniards. Our order in tapas took one and half hour to be in the table, I experienced a huge shower... More

The Tapas were amazing and we absolutely loved the white sangria - definitely going back soon to try the Paella and new menu. Oh and the service was fantastic, very personable. More

Pro: Vegetarian tapas were good, wouldn't go back and order them, you could tell it wasn't fresh produce. Calamari was nice. Spent produce money on new glasses for tables! Con: Prices!!!! Sneaky overcharging at time of paying. Paella was bland, cheap and frozen seafood used and tasted funny. $7.50 for 6 pieces of bread. $11 for a handful of wedges.... More

Food was below average and was not authentic. Paella used wrong rice and no saffron. No wines on menu but only overpriced watered down sangria. Funny thing the place was busy. I read the reviews but went as I was invited. I strongly advise to save your hard earned cash! More

Wow. This place was awesome. Firstly the staff were very nice and welcoming even though I had a voucher! First thing we received was our sangria and that compared with any sangria we had in Spain! It was beautiful. Then our tapas plate came which was the highlight for me. Everything on there was very very nice. First chorizo that... More
