    Impressive Spanish and Italian boards. Loved both of them. Order an extra plate of rustic bread for the abundant meats and cheeses. Music was on a bit loud, and lots of people were talking. Can get a little loud but to be expected for a busy Satuday night. We will definitely return again! 5-stars and A+!!

    La Plancha is a smaller restaurant with limited seating and a large bar area. Because of its small size and hard surfaces, the noise level increases as all the tables fill with people. (Thankfully they are NOT playing music, which would only add to the noise.) The food is creative and tasty. The service was very attentive. This is a great place for a date. Give it a try if you're looking to experience some Spanish "sabor"!

    Don’t get me wrong, the quality of the food was great. Overall service and attentiveness were just lacking for me. Not once did our waitress refill our water the entire meal. I asked for a straw for my drink, never got one. I accidentally spilled my half-full cocktail on the table & myself, and the bartender (not even our waitress, who was around when it happened but too busy talking to a coworker) came over to give me some napkins - yet not once was I asked by anyone if I would like another or something else. And the one item on the menu I ordered that I was most looking forward to was never served - it was just completely forgotten about. I didn’t complain, I still tipped as I normally would - that’s just who I am. But I was left feeling quite turned off from returning here in the future.

    Not sure what took us so long to try this place. The food was nothing short of amazing and far exceeded our expectations. I’d find reasons to go back.. We, a party of 2, ordered the steak board, essentially a smorgas board that came with patatas bravas, mushroom & leeks and bone marrow - all available as tapas that we intended to try anyway which was a game changer. In addition, we ordered the grilled garlic shrimp and octopus. The shrimp was tender, succulent and cooked perfectly. - would order again Octopus had a surprising texture, I was expecting it to be soft and braised but was instead chewy but not overdone. It paired well with the arugula however we loved everything else more.
