I decided to treat my daughter to dine here because she had never been and I was certain it would not disappoint. The food was fantastic but the service could have been better. Our server kept bypassing our table when serving bread (a must with the garlic shrimp), asking for a decision on entree after 20+ minutes done with appetizers, and offering a dessert option while waiting for 30+ minutes after finishing our paella. We felt neglected. Regardless, we tipped decently and will be returning, thinking that this may have just been a blip in what otherwise is an outstanding, traditional Spanish cuisine staple in New Orleans.
