    I was expecting traditional paella, but there was none with sausages and chicken and shellfish but they had an abundance of options for pallet and the rice was very good.

    I never really “got” paella until I ate at L’Albufera. It was delicious. So much depth to flavor the dish. Service was excellent. Highly recommend

    Very pleasant restaurant with really professional service, good selection of wine and a tasty food. Paella was O.K. but overprized.

    I usually enjoy food and service. But this time, for my birthday, there was something wrong with Paella mixta. Rice was cold and not so taste as it lack something. (possibly didn't use the same fish broth, or mix too much water in the broth, or change of the chef, or something) The lady was trying, but all over the place, difficult to get her attention. I've been there so many years and so many times, but I must say I wasn't happy this time. I didn't say anything there as I didn't want to ruin the mood. I hope this was just a one-time-off thing, as I will come back. I am leaving this note to let the restaurant know that customer notice things....either good or bad, even though most of times we don't say much. thank you.

    Nice service and good food, but if they could assign a table with better location (we were assigned next to cashier desk) then would be perfect

    We went there for a family lunch, and it was perfect. The service was so professional and warm, the food was excellent, just the whole package was impressive. The only downside for me is that the in-laws now demand every family lunch/dinner to be in that standard????

    The squid appetizer, black ink paella and apple tart were really great. Service was extremely good. The servers were always around without being obtrussive.

    A great place for lunch (mostly business crowd) with an attentive service. Even though the menu says paella requires minimum two people, I was able to order paella for myself with a sizeable leftover bag. Highly recommended!

    Beautiful restaurant, very pleasant and elegant ambience, great service and fantastic food. The starter was delicious (pulpo) and the paella very tasty (shame we could not finish it, it was really too much!). A restaurant to recommend without any doubt. The free parking is a nice touch.

    Food was amazing and staff went above and beyond for us. My only complaint would be how hot it was inside the restaurant, it felt a bit uncomfortable.
