My thoughts:
Oh boy. I realized I forgot to write about this place after coming here for a second time about a month ago. (And okay, in all honesty - I "forget" or "am too busy" to blog all the time, but I think this place deserves at least one write-up on it.)
For starters, my friend and I shared the Mussels Marinara ($9.95) served with a wine, herb and garlic marinara sauce, which was delicious and paired really well with the bread (that we had to request for, which was odd, but I'll let that slide because my main was so delicious).

I ordered the Spanish Paella ($23.95), which is a Spanish-style rice dish with lots of herbs and all sorts of delicious things. This particular dish had sauteed chicken breast, jumbo shrimp, fresh mussels and tomatoes. The portion was huge, and it was probably the best paella I've ever had. Will order again.
My friend ordered the Pork Tenderloin ($21.95) off their specials menu. I'm not normally a pork kind of girl, but I had a little taste and was blown away by how tender and juicy the meat was. (We came back about a month ago and the specials menu was pretty much the same, so if you are interested in trying it, they might still have it since it doesn't seem like they change their specials menu all that often.)
We also ordered half a liter of red wine. The decor was simple and understated, but in a charming kind of way. We were seated near the middle of the restaurant by a wooden lattice board with flowers (roses?) weaved through. All in all, a very enjoyable dining experience.
