"Great food, atmosphere and friendly staff. The owner is cooking in the kitchen and occasionally gets out to visit and greet customers. This is a fantastic establishment run by a local - support them. You'll leave happier and satiated! :-)"

"Excellent food; looking forward to trying more dishes from their extensive menu. Attentive and friendly service. Great place for dinner and brunch. Wonderful drinks as well: had a great Rioja, a wonderful sangria and superb Mimosa. Going there again next Sunday; I can hardly wait!"

"This was 3rd time eating here. Enjoy it always. The food is great. Mitchell at the bar is fantastic as always. My friend Jim and I have made this "our place" for when we go out to dinner together. Keep up the great work!"

"Lovely food; the small tapas plates made for a great shared meal. good wine list with very affordable choices; the house white is a bargain at $28/bottle. Service was excellent; we never had to look around or wonder- the food kept on coming as it was prepared, and the server was attentive enough."

"This gem in the Castro actually has better tapas than the best places in Barcelona. The owners are in the kitchen and on the floor. The full entrees are also excellent. Recommend the shrimp, steak salad, fish stuffed peppers, Brussels sprouts, pork kebabs."

"WOW!!! This place is fantastic! As a true foodie, I'm usually stingy with my 5-star food ratings and reserve them for truly exceptional taste buds experiences. This was one of them. Everything we tried was superb. We're sending all of our friends to Canela and can't wait to return. Highly recommended!"

"Sometimes tapas is a hit or miss but I was very pleasantly surprised by all of the plates we ordered. Even the dessert! The host Pedro (?) was super sweet and helpful too. I can't wait to come back with a bigger group so I can try more dishes!"
