Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

El Raval combines vibrant Spanish cuisine with a lively atmosphere. Guests rave about the "fabulous dancers and musicians" during flamenco nights and the "delicious" tapas and paella. The "impeccable service" and "authentic flavors" make it a must-visit. Though some find it pricey, the "memorable experience" is well worth it.

Lovely staff, quality food, nice drinks. My family enjoyed our date night so much. The calamari was excellent, seafood paella was great. Duck paella was a bit too salty but yummy.

Everything is perfect; great food and service. The only one thing that left a bad taste in my mouth was the pricing tactic that includes an extra 3% fee to the bill to cover employees health insurance costs (and I’m sure that’s in addition to higher costs building into the menu already). That’s pretty sneaky IMO.
