    The food was excellent. Especially the sangria the restaurant makes that you have to try. It’s my favorite. My family ordered the lamb, sopa gallega, autumn salad, chicken dish, veal and I paella marinera. It was a birthday dinner celebration which my mother loved her food and dessert along with the waiters, the family and the rest of the people eating in the restaurant joining in the singing of happy birthday. Thank you Marbella!

    First time having a meal here but a frequent diner at Avli next door which is the same owner. Both of our entrees were very good - kale salad with sweet potatoes and beets with honey mustard dressing, and sliders with fries with feta. Side of roasted cauliflower with raisins was delish. Would come for dinner but there is never any parking on Bell Blvd, it was hard enough to find a spot at 1 pm, oh well....
