    Great experience, albeit we went on a Monday night so it was fairly empty. We had a nice outside view from the 9th floor and the food was good and so was the service.

    I didn’t realize it was in the 9th floor of the le Meridian hotel. The sign is small on the back end of the hotel. The food was one of the best my party of six ever had for Tapas. The paella was outstanding, incredible and plenty for the six of us. The service was lovely. The view also pleasurable. We all feel we found a hidden gem in the suburbs and will be back. I have already recommended to several friends. We found accidentally while leaving Drury Lane Theatre. Less than 5 minutes away and able to accommodate us with short notice - weekday at 5:00 pm.

    Our table of six arrived separately, but the staff handled us with no issue. Food selection was great, and tasted as good as any I’ve had! Our view was spectacular, the sangria was delicious, and dessert was awesome! And out thanks to Elena, who provided wonderful service!

    Fabulous place! We went there for my 70th birthday. We got there at 4:00 and sat in the lounge by the bar for an hour and had cocktails (there were four of us). The cocktails were varied and delicious. Then we sat for a leisurely 2-hour dinner trying as least half the menu. Every dish was perfect with so many different flavors. We had a lovely time.

    Phenomenal food and view and easy to get a table right by the window on the 9th floor. Underappreciated gem, delicious tapas. Nice bar and all around great experience. Been here several times, highly recommend.

    Dined on a Wednesday evening. Good ambience. Able to easily hear and talk with my dining party. Restaurant on 9th floor of building and had a bit of trouble finding the restaurant. Table was by the window and had a very nice view. Regarding the meal I ordered a sangria which was ok. That was the least impressive part of the meal. Had the Paella de Diablo which I thought was very good. Favorite part of the meal was the dessert of churros. That was excellent and would definitely recommend. Service was friendly and attentive without leaving one feeling rushed. Overall, a very enjoyable dining experience.

    Because hotel restaurants might sometimes be a generic experience, El Tapeo exceeded all expectations. The food was perfectly prepared and presented, the wait staff attentive and ready to help make selections. This restaurant fits the saying, "You get what you pay for." In this case, no regrets, can't wait to go back soon!
