   The place is very cute. Loved the ambiance, lavender coffee was delicious. But ordered papatas bravas and they were just ok. Chorizo and ham were too crispy dry and sauce was mediocre. I’ll come back to try something else.

   I recently was searching for good local restaurants, and this place popped in a few of the lists. The place itself is very cool looking and has a very good vibe. Very friendly staff, too (even without me complaining, they took care of one of our items because my main brunch item came late) The coffee was incredible. The food items had different flavors we were used to, but I do like that element. I still think the egg/brisket dish I had was alittle too runny. I think my biggest complaint would be regarding pricing. We usually pay around 60-70$ for 2 at brunch after tip/tax. Here, even with one of our items taken out, we still ended up with $90+ price. We have friends who would definitely not join us if this pricing continues

   Everything was wonderful. Loved the appetizers and sangria. Paella was the bomb.

   The night at Gasolina was wonderful. From the beginning to the end, service was excellent and the staff were helpful, knowledgeable and friendly, and the paella and all the courses delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant. They never disappoint!

   Was there for their monthly Paella Nite for the third time. Excellent as always. The only downside is the cost. Tax and tip with no wine, total was $180.

   Let me start with, I made my reservation for 2 for an outside table, considering that if the outside seating was not my liking I could change to inside. That was not case. The Gasolina Cafe’s hostess told me in no uncertain terms that she was fully booked for inside seating and could not accommodate me. All this was stated in such a way to make me feel it was my fault for choosing putdoor. That’s how the evening started and it was only 5:00pm. As far as the menu goes for Paella night…don’t be fooled. Tables for 2 only get 1 choice of Paella to be shared. Although this is a 4 course Prix Fixe dinner, the waitress convinces us that we need to order additional dishes to supplement the Beet Gazpacho, Empanada and salad courses because it will take SO MUCH TIME for the Paella to cook we could become inordinately hungry . Needless to say we did NOT need additional dishes. In fact the courses started stacking up on our table to a ridiculous degree and the server had barely enough time to clear the table for the Paella presentation. The paella we chose was the brisket, chorizo with a few green beans tossed in.. The quality of this dish was decent but too heavy on the shredded brisket . A few chunks of beef would have been an improvement and additional veggies could have elevated the flavor and color of this very dark very thick and very heavy entree. Overall I’d say, we won’t be coming back here for Paella or anything else anytime soon. Adios!

    Gasolina has a great menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We had breakfast and the food was delicious, hot, fresh and filling. We ate outside, but I did walk through the restaurant and I believe it would have been a bit too noisy for me.
