    Patria is absolutely divine. The ambience and decor and lighting are all designed to provide a comfortable and comforting setting for the enjoyment of their exquisite food. Every dish we've eaten there is delicious, interesting, well-conceived in terms of texture and flavour, and perfectly satisfying, i.e. filling without being too much. The range of options on the menu is extensive, and the wait staff is helpful for navigating the sometimes-confusing experience of ordering in a small-plates restaurant. Service is super fast, so if you want a long evening to linger with your companions, it's up to you to eat slow (or order the paella, which take 45 minutes to prepare).

    Always outstanding. It’s great for vegetarians and meat lovers. The jeweled rice is not to be missed, an absolute delight. The way each dish was layered in flavor is just masterful and truly difficult to replicate. On the pricier side, it is a treat and perfect for special occassions.
