    We had a club End of Year group dinner with a group of 7-10 folks - it was spectacular from the table setting, service, and fabulous food (and sangria)! From reservations via Open Table to the manager reaching out to me for confirmation & any last minute details a couple days prior to our dinner - it all went smoothly. I would not hesitate to host another group dinner or a more intimate outing/date. :) Some stand outs of the food were gazpacho shots made with in-season ingredients, pears in our dinner - quite delicious. We shared bone marrow tapas, deceptively simple looking mushroom dish but was delightful, bacon-wrapped dates, and the rib eye plato fuerte. A great BIG thank you to Canela - do not hesitate to give this SF-locals gem a try for a bit of Spanish goodness!

    Overall, Canela is a good option for dinner in the Castro. The host was efficient, not warm. However, immediately it was obvious she had not looked at our reservation. We chose the "experience" as we were longing for a delicious paella. When we arrived on time for our 5:30 dinner reservation, which was promoted as the only opportunity to order the paella, the host informed us that the kitchen would be able to accommodate us. On Open Table, we were asked to specify the kind of paella we wanted and, since it is a small kitchen, had to be ordered trough the reservation as the only option. The tapas - the bacon wrapped dates and pork empanadas - were delicious, as was the red sangria. The paella was disappointing. There was no evidence of chorizo or Spanish spices, just chicken and rice for two at $55.00. Too bad. While we liked Canela and the energy, the paella was very disappointing. Maybe we'll try it again.

    Hi Paul, I am Mat the chef and owner. First, thank you for joining us for SF Restaurant Week! We appreciate you coming to have dinner with us. I am, however, so sorry that we disappointed on the paella! I am also sorry to hear that you were not greeted well. We are a small, family business and feel badly when we let down our friends and neighbors. I am going to follow up with a private note. Again, please know that we do appreciate you and hope that it did not spoil your evening with us! Sincerely, Mat

    The food was great... the shrimp was delicious, as well as the scallops. We thought the octopus was going to be overcooked from the look of it, but it was actually so tender and melted in our mouths, highly recommend! Likely one of the only cons of sitting outside is the delay in service. It felt like we rarely got any attention besides when someone brought a dish out. We saw our server inside for the duration of the night and tried to flag someone, but it seemed folks would either forget or not come for a few minutes. We asked multiple times for refills on water, if we can put in a drink order, and it just felt a little lagged at times with the service. Despite that, we enjoyed ourselves, the energy was great and would recommend someone come here again but sit inside.

    This is the first time that we've been here, and we will definitely go back some time when we're in the mood for tapas. We went on a Wednesday night, and the place was moderately busy, but not noisy, so conversation was easy. The server was pleasant, attentive and responsive to our questions. Tapas come in two sizes, We ordered the large (racion) size for the patatas bravas, but it was too much for just 3 people; we all wished they were a bit crispier. The gazpacho was pear-based and unexpectedly rich; slightly sweet and good, but a little heavy to start with. Seared scallops were a little on the salty side, but very nice. Roasted summer squash was good enough to want a little more (squash is usually too boring for me). Duck albondigas (meatballs) were great. Lollipop lamb chops were delicious. We were too full at the end to want dessert, but they looked interesting.

    Croquetas were overly salty. Bacon-wrapped dates were overcooked so the dates were crazy mushy. Assume they had been sitting for a while. Over-priced for what you get and the service was slow.

    Food very good, as always, Service was friendly and helpful but inattentive. The pace of service was highly variable with about 25 minutes gap between the 4th and 5th tapa. Then our espressos got made and sat on the bar until finally we asked the hostess to bring them to the table before they were to cold too drink.

    In town for a mini vacation. We were seated promptly and told our server would be right with us, however, it was close to 15min before he arrived. We were a two-top, there was another two-top next to us and a table behind us. This was at 545p on a Thursday. We ordered the bacon-wrapped dates, which arrived quickly, but far too large. The ham and chicken croquettes were bland (perhaps from the béchamel sauce that was extremely loose, so we decided to stop there). I also had a "tiny" glass of red sangria for $15 which tasted stale, but by this point I had already decided I was over the meal and went to the convenience store for snacks. Our server, M**, came by only once to ask if we needed anything else and we just asked for the check, which took ten minutes to get and then another 5min-plus to get him over to come and process the transaction. On a positive note, the atmosphere / ambiance is exactly what a tapas restaurant should look like.

    We had an enjoyable meal with the prix fixe paella menu. The food was good, but not as good as what we’ve had on previous visits. The seafood paella seemed kind of ordinary, and what should have been a crusty soccarat was more of a burnt black layer at the bottom. The shrimps with garlic and the lamb flatbread were the best dishes we had.

    Another great evening at Canela. Had some friends in town from overseas and they had the best time. One of our friends has dietary restrictions and the Canela team was very happy to review menu options and double check things with us. The food was amazing - the churros are the best we’ve ever had. Try the cheese, pulpo, dates. Also, they were playing a disco music playlist last night and that was very fun.

    Our group of 4 people ordered the paella + tapas prefixe menu, which started off strong. I suggest going only for the tapas and not the paella. After indulging in 8 tapa plates (2 tapas per person), the paella came out and we were so full already. The paella was very bland. We barely finished it. I wish the rice was a bit crispier on the bottom of the pan and there was more flavor. Service is always good, although it was short staffed it was nice to see all staff helping each other out.

    First of all, I want to thank you for joining us with your friends at Canela. I am happy that you liked the tapas. I am sorry, however, that you did not enjoy the paella. I am going to do some investigation and get back to you in a private email. Sorry for any missteps on our end, and again, thank you for coming to visit us. All the best, Mat and the team

    Canela has an unassuming presence on market street. What you don’t see is that it opens up into a deep, warm, welcoming space that allows you to have an intimate experience with great wine and spectacular food. Trinity was our server and held the perfect balance of helpful, attentive, and giving us our space to enjoy dinner. Would definitely come back again.
