Cafe Marbella

From the time you walk in to the time you leave the owner and staff make you feel genuinely welcome.  Much like in Europe, you have the table for as long as you like, and will not be rushed, so please remember to ask for the check when you are finished.
The food is fantastic!  We always go tapas style, although they have paella and entrees as well.  Be sure to ask the waiter for recommendations and have a couple of the daily specials.  The patatas bravas and shrimp are sensational!

I don't know where to begin. We made a reservation on open Table at 6:45pm, when we arrived they mentioned that they forgot to turn off Open Table reservations and they were packed and could not seat us at the time requested.

So we had to wait in the meantime the owner came up to us and mentioned that this is BYOB you have time to go down the street and get a nice bottle of Spanish Wine. So I did. Great suggestion and ended up getting a great bottle that went perfect with the meal!

Now it's over 30 minutes and we finally get sat, my expectations at this point are really low. The server came immediately and took our entire order. He had a great sense of humor and made the entire experience great! Hilarious!

The food started coming out of the kitchen and did not stop for 45 minutes of pure bliss and overwhelming taste sensation. WOW!

Spanish Meatballs, perfect!
Ceviche special, one of the best I've ever had
Cavatelli w/mussels, AMAZING
Angel Hair fried with Shrimp and Garlic, Again PERFECT
Beef Wellington, was good not great
Griddle Squid, I have to go back for more EXCELLENT
Paella Valenciana, very Authentic to Spain, Loved it!

I can't Believe that I bought my house in 2005 and just discovered this place right down the street!

Do not judge this place by the decor, not much to speak of and is in desperate need of a makeover.

Nice quality food (seafood especially) in a calm atmosphere.  I'm always looking for "off the beaten path" BYOB spots and this fit the bill.
