Delicious food and tantalizing cocktails. I really enjoyed the espresso martini, which was an aromatic delight. Great atmosphere with outdoor seating and exceptionally friendly and helpful waitstaff.

As native Europeans we love this place, the food and quality of the ingredients that are used are great. They have a great cocktail and wine selection.

Food here was great. Service was also great. A bit on the pricey side. One thing that bothered me is that when we ordered the paella, I did not want chorizo. I do not eat pork. When I asked if we can substitute it for something else, the server replied no. For the price that I’m paying, at least a substitution would’ve been appreciated. Moving on to the appetizers. The Harissa honey eggplant was crispy and delicious. The tortilla was really good with the sauce it comes with. The calamari was great, although I thought the sauce just tasted spicy and barely had any flavor to it. It was still enjoyable. The olives were really good. The complimentary sparkling water is a fantastic choice. I haven’t seen any other restaurants serve complimentary sparkling water. The shrimp was fantastic, full of flavor with the grilled sourdough bread. Now, the star dish, the Paella. It was full of flavor. The portion was great but once again, if only I got a substitution instead of the chorizo it would have been a home run. Finally, the churros were crunchy and airy. The chocolate that comes with the churros was top quality. The cinnamon pear bread pudding was alright, kind of mushy and smelled like eggs. Would recommend this place.

Open to the cool and legendary Southern California ocean breeze, Gabi James is an excellent place to have dinner, and even better to do so with loved-ones. They have non-alcoholic versions of many of their mixed beverage selections that are refreshing and delicious. By-the-plate ordering, their charcuterie, salads, sides and paella are incredible, you won’t want to miss out on this one!! ️ ️ ️

1st time here and everything we had was delicious. These small, medium and large size dishes are made for sharing and we tried the pork belly with blue cheese, lamb chops and paella. Then churros for dessert. Everything was very well put together and I can’t wait to return to try more items. The room was nice a cozy, the staff attentive and friendly.

Me and my girlfriend stopped in for a quick bite. We had the Ox Tail hash and french toast, both of which were super delicious. Along with our food we tried the Funky Cold Molina, which sounds weird on paper but was really good, strong but flavorful. Out of all the places to eat in the area, were glad we stopped in here.

Great food and a very nice ambiance, perfect place for a romantic date night. Some interesting drinks, too! It’s close to the Esplanade so you can take a walk along the ocean after dinner.

What a fun restaurant! The food is fresh and the servings are a great size too. The food is great for sharing, if you happen to like that style of dining. The salads, meatballs and tater-tot’s were all excellent! The chips in the basket are a nice alternative to munch on instead of bread. Yummy!!!!

I complained to the manager because the food didn’t come out long after I ordered it. The manager looked like a middle-aged Indian with glasses. When I asked why the food didn’t come out after 30 minutes, he said the order didn’t go in. He didn’t say a word of apology. Rather, he glared at me and just ignored me. It was so unpleasant. I will never go here again. Don’t do business like that.
