Tapas Restaurants near La Verne, CA

“They have a really nice patio with space heaters, fire pits, outdoor bar, and TV's. They also had a one man band on this night. There is also a small inside area. The staff seemed young and inexperienced but they were trying to make it work. Our waitress didn't know if they had old fashioneds or ginger ale. She looked overwhelmed covering the entire back patio and only came over when we waved her down. The old fashioned was terrible. They muddled bright red maraschino cherries in the bottom and poured the whiskey on top. Nothing even resembling an old fashioned. I recommend ordering something straight forward or stick with the beer. Aside from that it's a fun little spot for an outdoor drink.“

“We just ate here last night because we randomly stumbled upon it at the end of the listings on Open Table. Let me just say that I live in Chino Hills, and this is the best restaurant in our little city and I had no idea it was here! The location is in a non-descript shopping center where we regularly run errands. But when you open the door, the scent of spices and the aroma of fire-roasted meats hits your senses like you have been transported to the Mediterranean! I have traveled to the region and it’s so cool to have this oasis nestled in Southern California! The food is delicious and the chef and his staff are right in the middle of the dining area so you can see them produce the food amid the eclectic decor like an open bazaar. If I could give this place 10 stars I would! Anyone who has an adventurous palette should absolutely try this place.“

“(UPDATE) Okay so... we gave the place a second shot and the team working this evening was significantly better than round one. Get a side of fries and a bottle of wine and you should be good to go! Best part of this place is the take home wines from the shop. Great selection of wines from across the globe at pretty competitive prices.“

“We were served by Gerred..Jerred? Not sure what the correct spelling of his name was but he was our bartender/server and provided excellent service. We've been regulars but we will most definitely come back just for him! Thanks again - Sage, Alec, Mercedes, Shelli!“
