Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Cascal offers a lively atmosphere with "great service, amazing food, and lively upbeat ambiance." Enjoy a variety of flavorful Spanish tapas, although the paella can be inconsistent. Outdoor seating is preferred for a quieter experience. The live music enhances the vibrant setting, making it a memorable spot for gatherings.

    The service was great. The quality of food seemed a bit lower than what I was used to experiencing before. Paella was dried and tasted different. Overall, the experience was good.

    Food was fantastic, a lot of favor. Tapas was overpriced. I have been to tons of tapas restaurants and here the tapas were priced at an  entrée. But overall this place was pretty good.

    All the staff were great - friendly, attentive, and fast. All the food and drinks were really good, with the exception of the Paella Cascal. The rice was crispy - almost burnt on one side of the top and uniformly undercooked underneath. We've never had Paella which was overcooked and undercooked at the same time. Surprisingly, this is the second time we were disappointed by the Paella. We thought the first time was just a fluke.

    I’ve been to Cascal a few times and it never disappoints.. food and ambience is great.. I prefer outdoor seating as it can get a bit noisy inside.. not crazy though.. place is definitely worth going

    Early Friday night we got in and had a wonderful time. Everything was great. Service, and Ambiance was very good. The only thing which would have helped more in choosing the foods, was the level of spiciness, that was not clear. Asking the servers was not helpful as it is a personal taste. As a result one of us 3 who cannot tolerate spicy food, was not happy with her food. Otherwise, all good.

    I've been here several times, and while the food was never the main draw, I brought my friends this time for their fun vibe. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the menu has evolved with fresh ingredients and good preparation. However, the portion sizes felt too small for the prices charged. Service was a real letdown this time. Despite booking well in advance for a group of seven, we were crammed into a tight round table pushed up against the wall. There was barely enough space to fit all our dishes comfortably. I understand a 20% gratuity for large groups, but they also added an additional 3% “living wage” charge which I thought had been phased out in California. Even after paying 23% in service fees, the waitstaff refused to split our check, which was frustrating. Really disappointed with the service and the added charges this time around.

    Four of us went for a late lunch yesterday and had a fantastic meal. Every dish (and there were lots of them!) was delicious! Fried olives, white-fish ceviche, paella Cascal, arroz nero, cauliflower, and corn were all fabulous. Pisco sour and two types of sangria were great accompaniments. The tres leches cake was very good and the Basque cheesecake was really wonderful. We were there after most of the lunch crowd had departed so it was quiet. Service was really great. Can't wait to go back!
