   Really delicious and fast tapas - very loud where we were sitting near the kitchen but that had more to do with the people around us. Everything we ordered was amazing and we ended with butterscotch custard (!) Will always return

   Our food experience was very nice. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Our server was very knowledgeable and kind . He helped us choose fantastic tapas. Every steak tapas was delicious. The garlic potato salad was yummy as well. We had so much fun sharing the small plates / tapas. Make room for some dessert . The chocolate cake was awesome! Great ambiance, too!

   Last night I introduced my 12-year-old son to Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba. The mother-son outing exceeded all expectations as he loved the ambiance and particularly the food. He rated each dish which all received 8s or above and made me promise to bring him back again soon.

    I have been to tapas places before, and I am still overwhelmed by how amazing Café Ba-Ba-Reeba was! The sangria was both delicious and refreshing, a dangerous combination. The food was absolutely amazing: the blue cheese-topped steak, the garlic-stuffed mushrooms, and the waffle chicken on a stick were the standouts, but literally everything we ordered tasted great. Just wish we'd had more people so we could have sampled more dishes! Cannot recommend enough, and we will absolutely be coming back here!!!

    Everything was fantastic! We ordered the goat cheese in tomato sauce with toasts, the bacon-wrapped dates, the scallops, the octopus, and the paella with the pork, chorizo, and chicken. I loved every single dish, I can’t even tell you which one was my favorite. Our server was great, very polite and very attentive. We were also seated in the back in a little booth, where I felt tucked away a bit and we didn’t have to yell to hear each other. 10/10 Best meal I’ve had in awhile, and it was my birthday! Overall wonderful!

    This is one of my favorite Lettuce Entertain You restaurants. I arrived at 5:00 and due to traffic my friend didn’t show up until 5:30. I was a little worried because we had to be at an event at 7:00 but since I was hungry, I went ahead and ordered. We had a pitcher of the light and refreshing peach sangria, the brussel sprouts salad, bacon wrapped dates (my personal favorite), spicy potatoes, manchego and spinach stuffed mushrooms and the meatballs. Fortunately, Nick was our waiter and took great care in providing excellent service. We were able to relax and enjoy the delicious tapas and yes, we drank the entire pitcher of sangria in less than 90 minutes.

    Server was amazing. Very helpful. Had the non-alcoholic beverages and they were very delicious. All the tapas were excellent portions for the price. Great value. Host team was very welcoming. The place was SUPER packed. Hard to get to the bathroom located near the back. First time visit. I will be back for more.

    The paella mixta and patatas bravas were awesome. The empanadas were sort of a miss, and I believe you can get better somewhere else. The waiter wasn’t as attentive or friendly as we thought he would be. At first we were understanding because it was busy. However, he seemed to be more focused and talkative with other tables that were around us, but we were at the restaurant much longer than we needed to because of him.

    I rated each aspect of my experience a 5/5 and I stand by it. Food was fantastic, the location itself is also super cool, and it wasn’t too pricy. The only other feedback I have would be on the service. Because we were ordering tapas continually, I felt like I needed to see the waiter more often than I did. We were ordering 2 or 3 tapas which would only keep the table busy for so long. The wait staff, understandably, had their hands full with other customers. If you go here, learn from my mistakes and order more tapas while the waiter is available to help out, otherwise you may be having a lot of downtime without food on the table.

    Food was very good! Tasty- nothing was disappointing. Service was quick, but felt a bit rushed… Noise level was really loud but it is such a festive environment. Really great place- still! After all these years!
