The food was excellent. Especially the sangria the restaurant makes that you have to try. It’s my favorite. My family ordered the lamb, sopa gallega, autumn salad, chicken dish, veal and I paella marinera. It was a birthday dinner celebration which my mother loved her food and dessert along with the waiters, the family and the rest of the people eating in the restaurant joining in the singing of happy birthday. Thank you Marbella!

The staff from the hostess to the waitress to the manager treated us like royalty. Our first time there and we can’t wait to go back. It looked to me that they really want everyone to be happy and satisfied. I’ll tell you this from experience there aren’t many restaurants that take care of their customers like this. A+ all the way.
