   Ein netter und sehr bemühter Kellner - das war‘s. Die Paella erinnerte eher an ein Fertiggericht aus Industrieproduktion. Insgesamt nicht empfehlenswert.

   We always enjoy dining at Bota. The food is wonderful and the location is perfect when we go to the theater. It isn't an inexpensive night out though, which is par for the course downtown, and for tapas. It's worth it though. It's consistent every single time; this is probably our 4th or 5th time going there.

   Everything was ok until Our order was wrong ..2 dishes we did not order - I actually touched one thinking it was - when the waiter realized it was wrong he came back to pick them up - I told him I had touched a plate and the food - he said ok - he took it back and within a minute another waiter delivered the same dishes to the table next to us. Our shisito peppers were not very good- it was more like just a charred skin- no substance to the peppers(taken off the tab). Our sangria was mostly fruit and inedible after we finished the drink, which probably had a factor in the sangria not tasting fresh.

   Did not give accurate projection of time needed for paella. We specifically asked. We had to leave without eating our main dish as we had the theatre to get to across the street THE PAELLA TAKES ALMOST AN HOUR!!

    We came here before seeing a show at The Curran. We did let our server know of our plans and he took great care of us - the food came out quickly and was delicious. Would love to see gambas al ajillo and spanish tortilla on the menu. Did not try the paella but everything we ordered was fantastic.

    Across the street fro the Curran Theater. Great selection of tapas and appitizers. The paellas were equal or better than any I had in Spain. Michael was very attentive and helpful. Food can quickly and hot.

    This place is quite expensive for a large group, especially with the group minimum tip and SF service charges. The food comes out quickly which is nice, but a lot of the food is underseasoned and not worth the price. Shishito peppers for $16 is ridiculous, and they weren't even well cooked. The paella was super bland, definitely needed salt. The only good dish was the octopus, Overall I would not recommend this place.

    We were looking for a place to get dinner near the Curran theater so we booked this restaurant. It is across the street from the Curran. The food was very good and was very reminiscent of tapas in Spain, fresh foods with simple ingredients cooked deliciously in a way you could taste all of the ingredients. We got a pitcher of sangria to go with it. Perfect meal for a summer day. The portions are very large. Pace yourself and enjoy.

    Picked this place for the menu and proximity to the Curran theater. The staff was prompt in taking our order, but our drinks never arrived and they missed one of our veggie orders which was really disappointing for the vegetarian in the group. The tapas came out quickly and was tasty. The patatas bravas were a big hit. Loved the meatballs and the octopus. The pork was over cooked and tough. Timing was good to make it to the theater.

    Went for dinner before seeing a play at the Curran (right across the street). The Pear Gorgonzola salad, Vegetable Paella, and drinks (I had the Cucumber Delight) were amazing! Great service for a relaxed dinner. I would definitely go back! (Sorry I didn’t get a full pic of the salad before we ate all but a couple of bites)

    Ate here before going to the Harry Potter show at the Curran. Service is friendly, professional and prompt. Drinks are great and we decided to focus on the tapas which were very good! Enjoyed bacon wrapped dates, the polpette, steamed mussels (not sure the chorizo we added was necessary) but my favorite was the grilled octopus. It was a large very meaty tentacle that was delicious and incredibly tender. Last time I was there every table was full so the place was pretty loud, but last night only about half the tables were full so the noise level was very low and it was easy to have a conversation.

    The ox tail was cooked to perfection, it easily coming off the bone and was perfectly seasoned. The gravy/ sauce from the ox tail soaked into the lightly toasted bread had me salivating for more! The aged jamon is a must try, can’t go wrong with it. Lately, the personal size paella is good enough for two, no more no less. You must ask for it as it’s on their menu.

    The grilled octopus, chicken cannoloni, bacon wrapped dates, and lamb chops were all seasoned well. The oxtail and paella could have used a bit more salt, but all was tasty.

    We were seeing Harry Potter at 7 pm on a Saturday. Wanted an early dinner before the show. Our first time here and we really enjoyed it. Had all small plates and everything was delicious. Bartender did not come on shift till about 5:30 that day so only beer and wine available but they had a nice selection. Would eat here again.

    Happened upon this restaurant when in town for a conference. Having just been to Barcelona in the fall, I was a bit skeptical. The food was amazing!! Staff was super busy. The restaurant was short-staffed but the waiters were amazing. They worked together to make sure everything was covered.

    Our server (Kevin) was great. He had helpful suggestions and also made sure to get our paella order in early so we didn’t r have to rush to the theater. The tapas were really good, especially the bacon wrapped dates. Our seafood paella was just ok - although a generous size, the mussels were over cooked and the rice lacked the crunchy saccarat that is the mark of an outstanding paella. Drinks came out promptly and when we were finished we got the check quickly too. All in all a great pre-dinner spot.

    I think it’s way overpriced for the portion and the taste maybe because It’s adjacent to a local hotel.The ox-tail sounded good and had good reviews but the one we tried had no flavor, meat was good but the sauce had no flavor. The Paella was slightly disappointing, the mussels and squid was tiny and needs some flavor. We had desserts too and it was ok. Unfortunately it wasn’t a satisfying.

    Ate here for a pre theater dinner as a group of 7. Staff was very good and the food was quick and tasty. Because we had 7 people we were able to try a large variety of dishes. Seafood paella was very good. The rice was not mushy and the seafood was perfectly cooked, not overcooked. We got many tapas and a small paella and it didn’t weigh us down.

    SF pricey....but... very close to the theater and the food is very good and the staff was friendly. Would recommend asking to be seated away from the front door as many tables are in the breezeway and last night was pretty chilly and windy. Also paella takes 40 min to make so give yourself time if your go to a show.
