So my girlfriend asked if we could go to Paella Seafood this past Friday. I have seen this place many times but we have never went. Unbelievable!!! I couldn't decide what I wanted to have as I've never had paella before, she's from Europe and promised me I would like it, she already knew she wanted the Seafood Paella. I like to try new dishes, so I was excited. We arrive and im looking at their menu, and was on the fence about Seafood as I wanted something different so the other signature option, Traditional Lamb Chop Paella... ok was this going to be a disappointment? I don't like lamb, I want to like lamb but I've only had it good once so I'm a bit unsure. In talking to our server I asked if the lamb was good and she promised me it was exceptionally good. So I went for it. When the serve

I finally tried Paella Seafood after hearing so many great things, and it completely lived up to the hype. I ordered the seafood paella, and it came to the table sizzling hot, packed with shrimp, mussels, and calamari. The rice was perfectly seasoned and had that amazing depth of flavor that only comes from slow cooking. Every bite tasted fresh and authentic, just like the paella I remember having in Spain. The staff were kind and attentive, making the whole meal feel special. The portions were generous too—I left full and happy. This is definitely my new go-to spot for seafood in Portland.

Absolutely Amazing! 100/100 This is hands down the best seafood restaurant I’ve ever been to. I can’t get enough of their Paella. It’s bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Every dish I’ve tried has been outstanding. I’m so glad I discovered this place. Highly recommend to anyone who loves great seafood and excellent service!

Wow. This place is a hidden gem. Everything we ordered came out fast and delicious. Even the fries were amazing. Crispy and seasoned with their special seasoning. The paella had fresh mussels and shrimp jn it. The sea scallops were perfectly cooked. The lobster roll was full of chunky meat. I love to find the “off the off beaten path” where the locals dine type of places.

Amazing place! It’s the most delicious spot we’ve tried here, and absolutely worth the price! Every dish feels unique in flavor. We had the best lobster roll compared to other places in downtown — the bread, sauce, and lobster were all prepared in a truly chef-crafted way. It’s really special! The only disappointment: they’re closed on Tuesdays. This was the one place we definitely wanted to come back to!
