S'Aranella

“We had the espresso martini and aperol gin spritz. Both drinks were a hit. For food we did the octopus tapa along with the artichoke hearts. Both were spectacular. The Octopus was well charred and the artichoke hearts with the egg yolk was something I never knew I needed! We did the Mixto Pallea which was amazing except I was not big on the soft sausge that was ontop. Maybe it was just me but the pallea itself was excellent. We also had the mussels entre and that was probably our favorite thing we got. The sauce it was cooked in wqs unbelievable. I would come back here!”

“This restaurant really captured the spirit of Spain. The atmosphere felt like you just walked in to your favorite tapas spot in your neighborhood in Madrid. The menu was creative, plenty of options for the adventurous foodie as well as classics that everyone loves. The execution of all the food was spot on and everything we had was delicious. We loved the pan con tomate, Spanish tortilla, the stuffed squid lata, the croquettes were incredible, gambas were perfect, and the patatas bravas were so tasty! I want to go back and try everything we didn’t get a chance to because each dish was so unique and so yummy. On top of all this the service was cool, knowledgeable, friendly and prompt. They really did an incredible job with this place!!”

“Came here on the recommendation of our host at a wine tasting at Bodega de Edgar. They had only been open 8 days, but the food was pitch perfect. Everything was delicious, and deeply flavored. The cocktails are expertly made, wine list is well curated. This restaurant specializes in Spanish style tapas and paellas. We ordered several small plates to share (papas bravas, endive salad, fried artichoke hearts, Marcona almonds with rosemary, Serrano ham croquettes). For our main dish, we ordered the paella mixto, which had what looked like shishito peppers on top. They used authentic bomba rice,simmered in a deep, spicy red broth. Mixed in was rabbit meatball and jidori chicken. Service was great, but at 8 days, they were still getting their sea legs. The atmosphere was very nice, but the sound was a bit of a din, and reflective. What an amazing dinner though, and I will make this a stop every time I’m in Paso.”

“This place never lets us down. The service is always on point. Every visit, we sit at the bar—or on the patio if the weather is good. This time, we had the pleasure of being taken care of by Sydney, who handled both our cocktails and food orders. She was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. If I can help it, I’ll definitely be sitting with her every time we visit. To start, I had an Old Fashioned, and my wife ordered a Whiskey Sour. We shared the deviled eggs, Croquetas de Champiñones, Mejillones Catalán (mussels), and the Paella Mixto. The deviled eggs didn’t quite deliver. They lacked seasoning and texture, and the yolk mixture could have used more attention, better mixing for a creamier consistency and more seasoning. That said, the egg whites themselves were cooked well. On the other hand, the Croquetas de Champiñones were excellent crispy, flavorful, and perfectly sized bites. I’d absolutely recommend them. The standouts of the meal were easily the mussels and the paella. The sauce from the mussels was so good I almost asked for more bread just to soak it up, but instead, I poured it over the paella. Best decision ever. The paella was packed with bold flavors and great textures and with the broth poured over the top !!!! Chefs kiss!”
