Despana Fine Foods Tapas Cafe

The food was excellent. We had the special Dover sole fish. It was cooked to perfection. And for an appetizer we had the seafood soup which I could have made my meal it was so delicious. The wait staff was pleasant and attentative. It made for a nice night.

At first there was no place to park, I had to wait for the parking lot, we were 2 people and they gave us a table for a super uncomfortable person. I ordered a paella that is supposed to be for 2 people I eat a little, and I really have been a little more than half in Spain and other places in the world where they make Paella for real Spanish, that didn't know Paella. I ordered croquettes from Serrano ham and they were only croquettes with a minimum of Serrano ham. My partner's flesh was what was really good. The prices are very high for what it really is. For these reasons, I will not return and I do not recommend it.

I absolutely love this restaurant! The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the food was incredibly delicious.

I ordered the Paella from them for Communion, and I really wanted to enjoy it since it had been recommended and looked fantastic. Unfortunately, the rice was completely undercooked. While the flavor was good, raw rice is inedible. When I tried to address this with the staff, they just stared at me blankly. A friend of mine also mentioned that she stopped ordering catering from them for large events at a local college due to a similar experience. I'm sorry to say this, but I hope things improve in the future.

I had a mixed experience during lunch. The service was quite slow, even though the restaurant was not busy at all. I had come specifically for the oxtail, but unfortunately, they were out of it. My second choice was bacalao, but I ended up settling for the scallops with black rice. The scallops were overly salty and too soft, while the black rice lacked flavor. Overall, it was a rather pricey lunch for what I received. I’ve heard good things about the paella, but honestly, I wouldn't be inclined to return for it.
