    We love San Chez for their paella. Normally it's five stars. Unfortunately, our last trip the marisco (seafood) paella had only shrimp and beans with the rice. I'm sure it's a result of restaurants struggling. I'm hoping it'll be better next time.
    San Chez A Tapas BistroResponded on 27 February 2025
    Hey Richard, thanks for the review. We did recently change up what toppings come on the paella. The Marisco is supposed to also come with Langostino, it does have a shrimp like look to it. We hope it was in there, but sometimes it can be overlooked.

    The food was bland. Empanadas were so tiny and so bland. Was disappointed in what used to be my favorite spot
    San Chez A Tapas BistroResponded on 20 February 2025
    Hey Pamela, we are sorry to see you did not enjoy your most recent visit. The recipe for the empanadas has not changed since it came on the menu. We hope you give us another chance in the future.

    The food was delicious and the service was terrific. I am most impressed with the way you care for those with food allergies and sensitivities. Having the allergy chart was so helpful for deciding what to eat. I left without having a bloated or crampy feeling I usually get when eating out. Thank you for your care.
    San Chez A Tapas BistroResponded on 20 February 2025
    Thanks for the review Grace. We take food allergies and dietary preferences very seriously here. We are glad you felt comfortable with our process and left feeling great! We look forward to your next visit.

    Our dinner was not the greatest. We ordered two plates of meat, steak & salmon and they both came out terribly raw still. They were cold and just not cooked.
    San Chez A Tapas BistroResponded on 20 February 2025
    Hey Brenna, we are so sorry the food came out raw. This is something we absolutely do not want to happen. We try and have at least two sets of eyes checking all food that goes out. Next time please let your server know so we can fix these issues while you are here.
