    Yummy food. Excellent service. The outside space gets very loud when full.

    The experience of Bar Casa Vale is wonderful as long as you don't look at the price tag. The service is excellent, and the ambiance is very comfortable and warm, even in the "outside" area, which is enclosed and has a fireplace and space heaters. The food is good, just not quite worth the price we paid, in my opinion. Also, a tortilla should be able to stand on its own, and this one needed to hide behind the crab topping, which, along with blocking the taste of the tortilla, greatly added to its price. I invited friends, so was happy to foot the bill, but won't return for a while. As far as food highlights, the cauliflower was amazing, as were the squid fideo, the boquerones, and the orzo with champinones.

    So many good tapas! Best patatas bravos we have ever had, including in Spain. We keep returning.

    Food was absolutely amazing but the service was not the best. We were often left for long periods of time without being checked on or asked if anything was needed.

    If you're after some great Spanish tapas, definitely check out Bar Casa Vale. The food is delicious and the portions are generous. The staff are kind and attentive. There's also a great drinks menu with a comprehensive list of Spanish wines and spirits.

    We had not been back to BCV in quite a while, but it is just as good as ever, if not even better! Excellent choice of tapas, pintxos, and raciones, along with delicious cocteles.
