Romesco Bistro Tapas - Half Moon Bay

This place took us back to our trip in Spain. Amazing tapas. Great drive down the coast. Parking. Highly recommend.

The food here will instantly teleport you to Andalusia. Lovely cozy little restaurant, sweet natured service and you can get to meet the chef owner from Barcelona. Outstanding gambas, best I’ve had outside Spain. Will be back.

What a great find in Half Moon Bay. We had dinner at Romesco Bistro on Saturday evening. The restaurant is very quaint and warm. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. This restaurant specializes in authentic Spanish cuisine. I had the seafood paella and my friend had the Churrasco. Both entrees were generous in size and full of flavor. We also had a great bottle of red wine with our dinner. For dessert, we shared a dish of Crema catalana. My mouth is watering as I'm writing this review; I highly recommend this restaurant if you are interested in enjoying excellent Spanish cuisine. We will definitely return.

The food was good but a little mixed. The empanadas were outstanding. The Cuban sandwich good. But the beat salad was a bit weak. The pasta was a bit mushy and bland. The service was frankly terrible. It took over 20 minutes to even place an order after we were seated. Then the drinks we ordered were not deliverd for 10 more minutes until we asked about them. Because of the service delays it took over 1 1/2 hours to have a simple lunch of three tapas.

Great food! Poor service but worth it. Traditional tapas.
