Looking forward to Spanish Tapas for dinner with friends especially as this was highly rated (which may have been this reviewer's downfall). Grilled Calamari suberb (although hard to do this wrong). Duck not very tasty. Paella also disappointing. Ambience lively. more

Having passed Zarzuela on the Hyde St. Cable Car for the past two years, it was finally time to heed the raves from locals on the Cable Car. We met our friends from Portola Valley to plan a trip to Italy. Arriving early in the dinner hour we had no trouble being seated. The service was very helpful since we... more

This was such a find! Great prices, the best paella I've ever had. A nice spicy sangria and not too sweet. Charming owner who served us sangria while waiting an hour for a table on a super crowded Saturday night. Too bad they don't take reservations, but we still loved it - the Tapas were great too! Will go again... more

When we stepped in the door, the owner greeted us and then prepared a cozy window table for two. We ordered a carafe of sangria and perused the menu. We decided on a cold tapa - eggplant stuffed with goat cheese, a hot tapa - sauteed wild mushrooms, and the paella valenciana - the traditional style paella with seafood, chicken,... more

I live in San Francisco, and when I go out to eat there are many options in this city of over 5,000 restaurants. I prefer Zarzuela when I need a great night out based on the fact that the food is great, the service is personal, the atmosphere is simple, and the price is right. Spanish cusine is of course... more
