We are at Soccarat for dinner on Thanksgiving Day. Initially we were told that only the holiday special menu was available, which was paella made with turkey. My husband was totally “over” turkey, so the restaurant was very accommodating in allowing us to order from the regular menu. We had an order of the grilled octupus followed by the seafood paella. The food was outstanding and the staff was friendly, attentive, and very thorough. I highly recommend Soccarat when you crave tapas, paella, and other flavors of Spain!

This was a very enjoyable dining experience. My only disappointment was that there were not more gluten-free menu items. There is no notation on the menu for gluten, dairy, soy, or nut products. There is only a notation for vegetarian. I was unable to predict what I would be able to eat at this restaurant. Unfortunately, there were only two items I could choose from. The entrée I chose was the vegan version of Lentejas con Chorizo (without the chorizo which was not gluten free). Fortunately it was delicious!
