"El Quijote is such a special place. You can feel the richness of its history the moment you walk in — the ambiance is warm, nostalgic, and full of character. From the start, we were greeted by a lovely host who made us feel instantly welcome. Our server, Christina, was an absolute gem. When I mentioned my food allergy, she went above and beyond — double-checking everything with the kitchen and chef, and walking me through each dish as it arrived to make sure I felt safe and at ease. Thanks to her care, I was able to fully enjoy dinner with friends without any stress or second-guessing. Every dish was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. The whole experience — the service, the space, the energy — made our night feel joyful and relaxed. Thank you to the entire El Quijote team for making us feel so cared for. It’s clear this is a place with heart, tradition, and pride in what they do. I can’t wait to come back."

"I usually avoid writing reviews, yet someone needs to say this. The “paella” here… no. It was basically just rice, not paella. The shrimp were very weird and not fresh at all. The only thing that saved the night was our wonderful server, Katia, who is actually from Madrid and truly tried her best. The seating was uncomfortable. These chairs seem designed for one person, not squeezed for two or even four. For the high price, the experience was even worse. I cannot recommend this place."

"Attention patrons! This restaurant is a rip off joint. The food is disgusting and tiny portions. We order the paella and it nothing to do with paella.... even sangria wasn't sangria.. This restaurant used to be a great Spanish restaurant for many many decades. Now they are a new owners and they kept the old name. we will never come again...."

"Had a great birthday dinner here. We started in the lobby bar which has an awesome atmosphere and the small seating areas are quaint and great for a date. In the restaurant we shared small plates including the sardines, artichoke, ham croquettes, chorizo, and fluke. We agreed the fluke was our favorite. Served like sushi. Very good. My mom used to make croquettes and they were much different. These were more of crispy breading and warm creamy cheese inside. I like them but not what I expected. The artichoke was my second favorite. Lots of great texture and flavors. The sardines were great as well and she would pick those as her second choice. The chorizo was good. We just liked the others better. I would say that nothing was extraordinary. But all were worth the visit and would recommend trying. We ended sharing the chocolate basque. It was like a brownie outer layer and mouse inner layer. Dark chocolate. We both like dark chocolate and thought it was very good. Service was excellent. Atmosphere felt like we were in Spain throughout. We have been there. If you found this helpful follow me for more. :)"

"Pure perfection! We were able to secure the Cervantes Room for our party of 5 for a birthday dinner, and our host pre-ordered a large portion of the menu. The food was absolutely out of this world! We enjoyed cheese and croquettes for appetizers, and chicken, ham, peppers, and paella for the main courses. Staff was quick, helpful, friendly and amazing to our group! I highly recommend this restaurant if you like Spanish tapas."
