    We had not eaten at Costa Brava in two years, bc the last time we dined there, they charged us for our party of six, without informing us until we saw it on the check. In two years’ time, the menu is the same. Nothing new added. After we had our dessert and coffee, they began cleaning our table, making it quite obvious they wanted us to leave. The atmosphere and the food is decent. But the prices and the feeling that you’re encouraged to leave, makes me never want to return there to dine.

    Wonderful place, we have they been there multiple time, and consistently excellent service and excellent food. It’s a Spanish upper food quality equivalent to the best of Spain and France. I strongly believe that they deserve a Michelin star. I’ve had paella multiple times in my life, very easy to make very difficult to make right,however the paella we had here with the right rice and the perfectly cooked seafood made it a perfect paella and the Serrano ham with the tomato garlic bread was fantastic as well, paired with a good wine from the Rioja wine region, made it a superb dinner meal and experience.

    Chef pays attention to detail, and we had a couple of things we had never eaten before, which were excellent. The staff is first rate and the European vibe is welcoming...classy but not stuffy.
