Celona Wine - Raleigh

We had a fantastic night! Ashley, Josh, and one of the managers provided us with excellent service. It's hard to choose which dish we loved more—the chorizo or the deep-fried artichokes. The olive oil cake was absolutely delicious (seriously, you have to try it!). There were also many tasty cocktails to sample. The atmosphere was wonderful on a Friday night.

I have gluten and soy sauce allergies, so eating out can be quite challenging for me. However, our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and understanding. He explained what was safe for me to eat and what could be a risk (including potential cross-contamination from frying). He even brought over some alternatives since I couldn't have several items on the menu. The food and service here are fantastic! I highly recommend this place—it's one of the best culinary experiences I've ever had.

We thoroughly enjoyed every dinner at this restaurant! The authenticity of the place makes it truly special, and the atmosphere is lively and enjoyable. Located in the Dillon Building, the space features high ceilings, a bar, and several distinct rooms. The broth, oil, garnel, and ham and cheese croquettes were absolutely phenomenal. We also tried the grilled meat parrilla, which was seasoned to perfection. Our youngest team member enjoyed their meal as well, and everyone was impressed with the drinks, food, and service.

Update: first I thought that was a very cool room with some good drinks! But when I returned to try her, I was shocked by what happened. to begin, we have made reservations. they were not willing to put us. we waited 5 or 10 minutes. That was good. I didn't want to ruin it. the atmosphere was still very cool. but it was so unorganized. the people who sat after us were served before us. the waiting staff didn't know who was responsible for the table. the drinks and the cheese appetizer were good. my friend got her food and liked it. my meal never came. a few waiters have checked me. you have brought a snack to the house. but half an hour went by after my friend was served, and I finally told them to just pack it to go. the place was chaos. No one knew what was going on.

I was hesitant because I am from Spain and the USA is far away from spain, so normally I have been offered some fake food whenever I go to a “Spanish” restaurant.To my surprise, the experience we had here was amazing! My benchmark was the sangria as wine will always taste the same. The sangria carries a good balance of sweetness and citrus flavours and it’s truly refreshing. The food, on point a few things you can tell have been tweaked for the American public such as the Spanish meatballs etc. Nevertheless it’s good tasting food and you do come out quite full from the place.The attention placed on each table is great too and the waiters are knowledgeable about the food they are serving. I assume when food and drinks are good, waiters take pride in what they serve.Next time my Spanish family is in the country, we will definitely be visiting. For the time being, I’ll keep it as my to go place to revisit home whenever I miss it.Get the bread it’s not charged and dip in olive oil they offer. Also sprinkle some salt in the olive oil to bring out its flavour.Go crazy with the tapas!
