   Had requested to be seated in courtyard in the special request area of reservation several weeks ago. Upon our arrival we were told, “No outdoor seating available, only indoor.” Not a good way to start the evening. If the special requests are just going to be disregarded than don’t offer it. On the other hand some of our small plates were quite delicious and the servers were friendly.

   We sat outside - the table was very unstable. Ordered cannelloni, which was very dry, and mixta with Chicken, also dry. The server brought the check without asking if we like to have coffee or dessert. This used to be a very nice restaurant, unfortunately that’s no longer the case!

   Food was great. For some reason the AC must not have been working. the doors and windows were open Saturday but it was hot. Felt sorry for wait staff, some sweating profusely. With the doors and windows open, although we were inside, we got our share of flies.

    We visited this delightful restaurant as we were looking for something a bit out of the ordinary. Couldn’t have been more pleased at our decision. The food was fantastic and the bottle of Rioja was utterly delicious! The price was very reasonable for the quality and amount of food. We were made to feel at home. Highly recommended!

    We did enjoy the food. We sat outside and little things form the trees kept falling in our food. The paella was very good, te garlic and chorizo was good too. My friend was not pleased wit the service and felt that we were not getting the device we should have. We enjoyed our time together and the meal.

    It is super warm inside so definitely try to get an outside seat if you can. Good Sangria pitcher... Good chorizo & patatas bravas. Paella came out much quicker than 45 minutes which was good.

    Based on the star level we were expecting more. Food was just ok. Service was ok. True tapas-sized portions. Not enough bread/toast accompaniments. Ingredients seemed to be missing from a couple of dishes. We likely won’t go back.

    The food was good but not great. The wine and sangria were both worth it. The waiter seemed a bit more concerned with trying to up sell us instead of making sure we were ordering something we would like. Cute place for a date night. Would give it another chance.

    If you like 2-4 small dishes at $15 a piece per person you will enjoy it. The dishes were very flavorful and tasty and the service was excellent however they should have main entrees and not just tapas(small dishes) . It’s better to eat indoors due to nonstop traffic with all the noise and the diesel smell. Overall it was good. Great place if you want to drink a lot and just have light dishes.

    We were greeted by Rodrigo who knows the menu very well and had great recommendations for the Paella and specials! It was Cinco de Mayo so he whipped up very delicious margaritas for the three of us and our server Sierra was sweet, Swift and a joy to be around. They're doing instruction outside but the back patio is the perfect oasis with water feature, huge lemon tree and bistro seating so this was really a perfect way to celebrate our special occasion. I've been to Elie in the past and have always enjoyed the delicious food from the Spanish cuisine to the fresh salads. Excellent wine list and again Rodrigo is quite a mixologist! Should be fun to go to on a date night or just reconnecting with friends. We will return soon

    All was great the only complaint I have is that we wished our waiter had told us about the dessert specials, which I saw only when going inside the restaurant to use the restroom. The specials are posted inside and we were seating outside. The dessert we had was awesome but if we had known about the specials we would have ordered the pears which is an unusual treat and we've never seen it anyplace except when we travel to Europe. Aside from my comments I want to point out that our waiter was very nice and professional and he did nothing wrong, he probably just forgot to mention the specials on the dessert list. He did tell us about the lunch specials. We look forward to returning, its our very special place when we go to Sacramento. We live in Berkeley. Thank you! Irene and John

    We sat on the patio outdoors and it was a beautiful night. From appetizers to the drinks and entree it was delicious and well worth your time. We had the Halibut and Chicken Specials. Plus the Portobello mushroom and a shrimp appetizer. Service was attentive and professional. If I had one comment it was the tart nature of my my cocktail. However they promptly brought and additional mixer for me to rectify the issue. Quickly handled my only issue. Take some time to visit this midtown gem.

    Rada, Gigi and crew do a consistently excellent job. The bar is extremely well equipped and attended by very friendly staff and customers. The two inside dining rooms and two alfresco front & rear patios are a delight. No better restaurant in Sacramento for large groups, tapas and sharing a Spanish banquet table. Great wine list, too.
