Castilla Restaurant and Tapas Bar -Food CA (Near Bellevue)

3 /5 王浩禾: Proactive, fast service and hip, energetic (but not loud) surroundings make up for tapas and paella that are in general, either too salty, too soggy or dripping with oil. Most of the food certainly looks better in pictures than it tastes in reality. The Mediterranean chicken was a happy exception as was the garlic shrimp.

4 /5 Chanil Jung: We celebrated Mother’s Day as a family at Castilla Restaurant and Tapas Bar, and it turned out to be a lovely experience, especially for treating my wife. The food was very well suited for our tastes—nicely flavorful and just the right amount of bold for Korean palates. The service was attentive and the ambiance relaxed, making it a comfortable and memorable evening. It may not have been perfect in every detail, but overall it was an excellent choice for a special family occasion.

5 /5 Lane Kuhlman: We ordered a ton of small plates that were ask very delicious. The olives and sun dried fruit was one of my favorites because the flavors were so surprising, but everything was delicious. We tried Wild mushroom and basil croquettes, Barrata, tomatoes and arugula, Olives and sun dried fruit spreads (must try) and topped it all off in the end with the Lamb chops and Roasted beets, Brussels, cheddar and pepita flatbread (which I forgot to photograph). We also had some nice drinks including Almond horch inata and a Perla del Mediterraneo. Great service and atmosphere.

5 /5 Phil: On a business trip from Phoenix. Great brisket taco and the puffiest cille rellano Ive ever seen. Great flavors, not spicy but flavorful poblano pepper. Sat at bar, kept glass full and attentive in a busy Tuesday night. Great place for business dinner.

4 /5 Grizzlycougar: Came here with my team from work for moral dinner and we had a overall good time. Spanish restaurant with lots of unique flavors. Most of the dishes are small and meant to be shared called Tapas. We ordered a bunch of them and I can name some of my favorites. Smoke salmon flat bread was delicious, not to much sauce that it overpowers the salmon and crunchy flatbread. The flatbreads are almost like a pizza in the bread and some of the toppings. Octopus was cooked very well not super chewy or overcooked with a rich sauce on top. The vegetarian rice was also good, almost like a biryani but more tomatoe based. And the chicken skewers were really good, perfectly cooked with a nice savory sauce highly recommend that dish. Couple dishes fell a little flat. The stuffed artichoke with salmon were alright, little to much sauce and rich, couldnt eat much of it. Appetizer of bread and mushrooms was unappealing and bread want very good. The Desserts were nice, nothing amazing but not bad, chocolate cake was surprisingly not too sweet. However the apple cream pie one was too sweet and wouldnt recommend that. Overall worth a look if you want to try something a little different, interesting flavors and good meals to choose from. P.S we had to wait an extra 30mins because we didnt "lock in" our reservations. Make sure you call and hour before going to let them know you will be there otherwise they will give your seat up if its packed, which it usually is.
