Disappointed for multiple reasons, we ordered the smoked octopus which was bland,chewy and not smokey at all. We also had the FIDEUA vegetables, good size but I was shocked by the lack of flavor, the noodles did absolutely nothing for the dish. The salpicon tasted great, but the portion was tiny, the fish was chopped up too small. The pomegranate sangria was great and the restaurant itself looks beautiful. I really wanted to like this place but between the flavorless dishes, small overpriced portions and a 3.5% credit card convenience fee, I don’t see a reason to go back.
The interior is absolutely beautiful and very picture friendly. The drinks were good but pricey but it doesn’t stop there. The food portions were small, and prices were insane. A “salad” as 3 pieces of asparagus in an albeit delicious sauce but cost $30. The paella was okay but $33 per person. Had to send the $90 ribeye back to the kitchen when it came out raw. We ordered enough for 4 people to eat to be full and it was $550+ with a 3.5 percent charge for using a credit card. Obscene. The service was very very good so our server redeemed the otherwise average meal. You can find better tapas in Chicago.
Great cocktails but the food felt over priced.All the plates were over 20$ and quite small and it feels like the portions have gotten smaller than the last time we were here. An order of the scallops came with just 2 scallops for $26 and the last time I was here with a group of 4 it was 4 scallops. So I’m not sure if they’ve changed the portion size or if it’s dependent on the number of guests?Overall the food was fine but I was expected more considering the pricing. Otherwise good vibes and service
First time dining here and had an amazing time! Absolutely loved the ambiance/tables upstairs. Our server was super knowledgeable and helpful about the menu. They had menu options marked for gluten free/gluten free available, and she was helpful in explaining what would be modified to the gf available dishes and guided us on what was best to order given our dietary restrictions. The seafood paella was a highlight. Would definitely come back next time we want to splurge a little.
Really great atmosphere and the service was great!Very expensive and the food is hit or miss. Some of the dishes we ordered, we cleaned the plate! Others we struggled to finish. There was one dish in particular that was very charred on the bottom. It ruined the taste if you got any of the burnt area in your bite.Lastly, there is a credit card fee that in my opinion should just be baked into the price of the food at such an upscale place.
Wonderful little Spanish restaurant. I hesitate to call it tapas but it is small sharing plate style. The dishes are high-brow culinary arts type fare. But prices are obscene like $31 for two medium scallops. Cocktails are excellent. The vintage, home feeling front bar area is nice. Service is good. 3.5% "credit card 'convenience fee'" is absolutely a slap in the face at this already exorbitantly priced spot. Bordel upstairs is fun.
I saw this Michelin Guide and we booked a reservation on Sunday. The place is really nice and the food is presentable, but the dishes we ordered were just okay. I was hoping for more from the Michelin Guide restaurant.
Wonderful place with very interesting menus
Lovely atmosphere and great customer service.
Delicious food, warm and cozy ambiance, and great staff. What more could one ask for?Octopus was cooked well, plating was gorgeous.True gem was the mushroom & truffle dish. My god! Incredibly savory and buttery. Melts in your mouth.Sangria was tasty. Would try the pomegranate instead of the peach next time.Don’t be like me and wait years to try Mama Delia’s. Go now!
