We have dined at Canela Bistro numerous times, but this was our first experience with their prix fixe menu, featuring paella and two tapas per guest. Our group of four enjoyed a wonderful assortment of dishes, and everything was delicious! My two favorites were the gazpacho and the potato and jamón croquettes. The Albariño recommended by our waiter, Mitch, was also an excellent suggestion and paired beautifully with the meal. Canela has a warm, cozy atmosphere while maintaining a professional and welcoming level of service. Mitch was attentive and knowledgeable, and we felt exceptionally well taken care of throughout the evening. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and would highly recommend Canela Bistro. It’s a neighborhood gem that keeps us coming back!

Absolutely wonderful experience. Great service, nice wine selection either by the bottle or glass, the Truffle Fries were an amazing indulgence, and the steak was exceptional. We hesitated at desert but finally shared an ice-cream and I think it was homemade - terrific. Highly recommend!
