  El Raval, which has been around for a couple of years now, got everything right. From the warm greeting at the door to the attentive service and outstanding food, we had a truly beautiful experience. Having spent time in the service industry, I know how rare it is for a restaurant to fire on all cylinders, and it’s such a delight to find a place that clearly understands hospitality comes from the heart. Even the manager stopped by our table and personally invited us to their monthly Flamenco dancer night in the coming weeks, which was a lovely touch. Among the highlights were the craft cocktails, the Brussels sprouts, and the mussels—some of the best I’ve had anywhere. The duck paella was exceptional, featuring a beautifully developed socarrat, the crispy, caramelized layer that lovingly clings to the pan.

  We had a 6:00 PM reservation and were seated right away, which was great. Our main server was nice and attentive. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was the service from the staff handling water and clearing dishes — they felt a bit dry and somewhat rude, giving very short answers when we asked questions. On the positive side, the manager (I believe he was the manager) who served the sparkling wine with the porrón was incredibly friendly and made us feel at home the entire time — that was a great touch. The food was absolutely amazing! We had the black paella, pulpo a la brasa, and gambas al ajillo — everything was delicious and full of flavor. We will definitely be coming back!

  Had the best girls’ night at El Raval with my four girlfriends and everything was incredible. The food was unreal, the vibes were perfect, the manager/server Roe, Had absolutely made the whole experience. The cheesecake is BOMB! Roe made us feel so taken care of from start to finish. Definitely one of those meals you’re still talking about the next day we’ll 100% be back
