Paella, tapas or light bites, desserts, and drinks are all served here, along with live music. Traditional Spain is the vibe, with a breezy, modern take. Try the Lavender Sangria, cod fritters, and a huge paella for three with prawns, mussels, squid, and saffron rice. Open Wednesday and Thursday from 3 to 9 p.m., Friday from 3 to 10 p.m., Saturday from noon to 10 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 3 p.m. Online ordering for curbside pickup is available in addition to the patio.
