Oh, let me tell you about my delightful experience at La Rambla Restaurant & Bar! From the moment we stepped inside, I knew we were in for a treat! The ambiance was charming, with a cozy atmosphere that just invited us in. Now, let's talk about the food - oh my goodness, it was beyond amazing! Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and had that authentic taste that you just can't find anywhere else. It was like a culinary journey through Spain right here in town! From the paella to the tapas, every bite was a delight for the taste buds! But what truly blew me away was the staff. Let me share a little story with you - we accidentally came in through the back door and sat down without realizing we needed a reservation. But instead of turning us away, the staff welcomed us with open arms and accommodated us without a single question. Now, that's what I call exceptional service! I can't say enough good things about the wonderful folks at La Rambla. Their kindness and hospitality made our dining experience truly memorable. It's no wonder I make it a point to stop by whenever I'm in town. La Rambla has become like a home away from home for me, and I recommend it highly to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Deep Thoughts with Morgan

Went here for the first time with my fiance for Valentine's day. The ambiance was relaxing, romantic and elegant. Waitresses were very sweet and accommodating. Wait time was a bit long because it was busy but we sipped on wine and just enjoyed our evening. My fiance ordered the steak with vegetables and I ordered the grilled octopus with potatoes, orange and whipped feta. It was DELICIOUS. I tried to savor each bite. His steak was cooked to perfection. I really wish we could have tipped more. We will definitely come back.

We visited for dinner. Making a reservation on line was easy. We decided to order tapas. We enjoyed the bread with olive oil, bacon-wrapped dates, and empanadas. We would not order the calamari (way overcooked) or piquilli peppers (just no flavor), but we would recommend the patatas bravas and fried brussel sprouts.

Wonderful spot to share Spanish cuisine in a warm setting with loved ones! We had the steak empanadas, bacon-wrapped dates, beet salad, piquillo peppers (our favorite!), green beans, lamb nachos, mushroom flatbread and churros. It was quite a feast and everything was yummy.Highly recommend the stuffed peppers!

A great restaurant importing some Spanish food and sherry! The recognizable favorites were enhanced and elevated from the more common tapas that I'd experienced. The tapas were more like pintxos from the Basque region, more spicy, more 'fine dining.' It's not an authentic experience like one would get there, it's definitely an American-style restaurant, for better or worse. The food was all delicious, though. The cheeses were great. There's very good sherry there. You still can't import the famed jamón Iberico, but they had plenty of great things to try.

We eat here often. Food is wonderful -- we always share a number of small plates. The new happy hour menu at the bar is great. Reservations are a must for the weekend unless you want to sit at the bar (which we prefer).

The food here is delicious. The service was meh.But suggest the shrimp, paella, and steak empanadas. Nothing is too spicy but it is delicious, savory, and the perfect size for a group of three. The he service left a lot to be desired but I would still return for the steak empanadas. They had such a unique flavor with the pickled red onion.

I love the Paella for two and Tapas/Pinchos selection is fantastic for starters or sharing. The bartenders are top notch and with a house made Sangria you can't go wrong. The are some excellent places on 3rd and this is definitely one of them.

Some friends and I popped in here one night after a new exhibit debuted at the Air and Space Museum. I'd never been before but my friends could not stop talking about it. We arrived between 7pm and 8pm on a Saturday night, and had reservations that we'd secured a few hours before. We were seated immediately. I have to admit, I wasn't really sure what to expect. I'd glanced through the menu a little bit online while we were in the car just to try to reduce surprises, and my friends warned me that it would likely be on the expensive side, but that it would be worth it. They were right on both counts. We started off with a round of drinks. I had an old fashioned that was devine to sip through most of our meal. I wanted to also try " The Bull" but I'll have to wait for our next visit. The food was unbelievable. We had pork belly that was cut thick like a steak, brussel sprouts with such an incredible sauce, my friends got some kind of seafood thing that I didn't try... but the absolute standout was the steak empanadas! So good, we got a second plate as our "dessert"! The service was overall very quick and attentive, and while the place is rather small/narrow, cleverly placed mirrors make the restaurant feel incredibly open. LIghting is on the dim side to make things feel intimate/cozy. Overall it's an upscale/posh vibe. There's also bar seating available.

The Food was excellent! We ordered several Tapas and were quite pleased with each one. The service was amazing and friendly. Our waitress was Mazy and she timed our food to perfection! The ambience is cozy and warm inviting you to gladly visit again. Worth 5 stars and more!
