    We went for a weeknight dinner out at Sayola and it was fabulous!The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. I really liked the Caldo Gallego, a Galician soup, and the Paella Valenciana. So yummy! Our waiter was attentive and the place was ample, well decorated and authentic. Perfecto!

    When we went, they had massive mandatory gratuity, which rubs me the wrong way when it took 1 hour and 15 minutes to get the food. The portion of soup was really small like half a can of campbells, then, Then the meal, it was good but puny portions. Lobster had the equivalent of 1 stick of imitation crab meat worth of meat on it. 5 shrimp, a few clams and mussels, and squid rings. Majority of it was just shell and the meat was 2 mouth fulls. It was a bad choice on my part, but I think the meal could have done with rice, generous amounts of squid and shrimp. But thats fine dining for you. and then 30 minutes just sitting at an empty table trying to flag down a waiter for the dessert and the check. For the price I thought we would be getting a feast, but the portions were depressingly small. Compared to diners and cheesecake factory, you get spoiled by the portions. I guess I'm not cut out for fine dining. Food is good though, but I don't want to pay near 400 dollars and still be hungry when leaving.

    Brought 4 friends (who had never been) to this 'go-to' of mine. None were disappointed; the restaurant lived up to my boasting. Appetizers were the combination skirt steak, shrimp and chorizo; fried calamari, coconut shrimp and shrimp in garlic sauce. We needed extra bread for the sauces. They were great. This carried on to dinner. Three had the filet mignon and shrimp special, I had the bronzino and the other had the veal medallions. Again... any of the sauces are unique, flavorful and requiring some bread to finish them off. One of them plans to reach out for a small party; they others said they'd definitely go back (we're planning a birthday brunch there in June!!!) do NOT pass this place up!

    Our party of four thought that the food, especially the tapas selected including shrimps, croquettes, chorizo and potatoes were deliciously prepared.

    We went (3 of us) as a birthday celebration, and had a wonderful experience. The service was efficient and the server was knowledgeable about any questions we had. We order several tapas for a hearty meal, and each one was delicious and prepared and presented exquisitely. The deserts were also very good (Crema Catalan and Tres Leches). We will be back!

    Very cheap ingredients, poor display of the dishses. Looks like someone got some bread, cold cuts and cheese at stop and shop and slapped them together. We did the happy hour menu, not a single dish was worth it's price, not a single dish was truly enjoyable. It's a shame, such potential. The drinks were good.
