    Holy cow! Excellent food and service! Great quaint location. Had the steak and scallops dishes for dinner. Delicious, tasty, well-seasoned, well cooked. Opened up with the charred Brussels sprouts and beef carpaccio. Also had the little gem salad. Their bread is soft and crunchy at the same time? How’s that? The place was sold out and with a line of people waiting for their turn to sit at a table. Owners are present and working. Just a great restaurant with great dishes!

    The service was a little slow m and kids menu was extremely limited. Overall the food was extremely delicious and well prepared. Everything came out hot and fresh. The chef even came around to the tables and spoke with everyone. I highly recommend.

    I wonder why we don’t eat here more often. The menu is inventive and hard to choose from, the cocktails delicious and generous, the service was perfect. We had a great time and will be back soon.

    I went here for an intimate birthday dinner and was blown away. It was the perfect environment for the occasion, and I would definitely go back. We ditched our dinner plans the next night to eat leftovers!

    One of our favorite spots, we introduced good friends to La Marcha and no one was disappointed. The service was friendly and we were well cared for. Our table request was honored. The food was excellent. We appreciate the menu offers several options for paella, including more than one that is pork-free. So we ordered two to share along with a selection of tapas. We missed the orange olive cake, which was not on the menu that evening and is one of our favorites, but the churros were enjoyed. Another great experience at La Marcha!
