Wonderful addition to the scene of high-quality Spanish restaurants in the city. Excellent prix fixe lunch menu. The escalivada and shrimp skewers were delicious and so was the duck paella

Before discovering that Arrels was on OpenTable, my husband and I had already dined there twice. Each time, we were blown away by Chef Pepe Moncayo’s exceptional culinary skills and the high quality of the ingredients. The Suquet was so satisfying, we ended up ordering it four times over the course of three visits. Other menu highlights we enjoyed included the Branzino (catch of the day), Iberico Presa, Guisantes a la Brasa, Churros for dessert, and glasses of Arrocal Joven 2021 to pair with the meals.

Food was unimpressive. Previous reviews got us there. We are foodies and ate Michelin star couple nights prior. Tried a bunch of dishes. Nothing stood out.

Wir waren mit dem Essen leider nicht sehr glücklich. Die Paella und Gambas al Ajillo entsprach nicht meinen Erwartungen, schade. Es war nicht schlecht, aber mit dem Original aus Spanien hatten die Gerichte meiner Ansicht nach nicht biel zu tun, was ich sehr schade gefunden habe.

I can’t say enough good things about Ashley, Gracie & my girl Krysti! From the moment I walked in, their service was exceptional. They went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and truly cared for. And the food—wow! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. You can tell they put so much love and attention into every detail. Ashley and K’s friendly and attentive service made the experience even better. Thank you both for an amazing experience—I’ll definitely be back soon! If you can’t tip them, stay home 🫶🏼
