Best WLM Reviews
My experience at Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba! was nothing short of fantastic. From the moment we arrived, the server welcomed us warmly and provided attentive service throughout the meal.
We started with refreshing Sangria, a perfect way to kick off the evening. The appetizers were a hit, especially the stuffed mushrooms and bacon-wrapped dates, which were bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection.
Moving on to the main course, both the seared scallops and the Paella were exceptional. The scallops were tender and flavorful, while the Paella was a delightful medley of seafood and aromatic rice that transported me to Spain with every bite.
But the star of the show was undoubtedly the Paella. The flavors were incredible, with perfectly cooked seafood, flavorful rice, and just the right amount of seasoning. It was a dish that left a lasting impression.
To top it all off, the restaurant went above and beyond by surprising us with a complimentary dessert for my girlfriend's birthday. It was a thoughtful gesture that made the evening even more memorable.
Overall, Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba! exceeded our expectations with delicious food, exceptional service, and a warm atmosphere. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a taste of Spain right in the heart of the city.
This place is five stars all around. Food, ambience, and service. Waiter we had was friendly and nice but not disruptive to our time. Very accommodating and super friendly and approachable vibe. We loved all the food we ordered. Will go back with family next time.
Wow, such an incredible dining experience. Lively atmosphere & delicious food that will leave you wanting more. The seafood paella was truly remarkable. Everything we ordered tasted amazing. Perfect for a special occasion or a way to impress your date.
Me and my friends had a lovely evening here. The lighting is suave and moody and the vibe is busy and bustling. Delicious food, margaritas, and sangria. Outstanding waiter Santiago, thank you!
I recently visited this Spanish tapas restaurant for a bachelorette dinner and had an amazing experience. The chicken paella and empanadas were delicious, and the sangria and spicy potatoes were a perfect complement to the meal. The service was exceptional, with the Manager going above and beyond by safely storing my forgotten purse in the office. Despite our late arrival at 10:15 pm, close to their closing time of 11 pm, we never felt rushed and were able to enjoy our meal at a leisurely pace. I was truly impressed by the level of service and will definitely be returning in the future. ¡Volveré!
Always a great experience. Potatas Bravas, Peach Sangria, and paella are always staples but we always go with at least a few people so we can get a lot of different dishes. Most recently with 6 of us, we ordered 10 plates and 2 pitchers. Never disappoints
I came here to dine with some family on a Friday afternoon, around 3PM. When we got there, they told us there was a short wait. There was quite a bit of empty tables but I believe they were only staffed for a small section. They offered bar seating as an alternative. However, when we asked if we could wait at the bar and then go to our table when it was ready, we were told no because the tabs do not transfer. We waited approximately 10 minutes until we were seated. We started off ordering a few plates - the goat cheese baked in tomato sauce, shaved brussels sprouts salad, house-marinated spanish olives, and spinach & manchego-stuffed mushrooms. I really appreciate the consideration of our allergies when we ordered, and the food even had little wooden sticks in them that said “allergen” in them. The first round of food was quick - we got the baked goat cheese and salad. The goat cheese was creamy and rich and came with some garlic bread. We asked for more bread since it doesn’t come with much. While we received more bread, the staff did not inform us that there was an additional charge. It was just $3 so we did not mind, but I felt it would have been courteous to let us know. The Brussels sprout salad was brilliant - the chopped marcona almonds added such a nice texture and flavor. Then we got the stuffed mushrooms. This was a bit uninspiring as it was cooked well but lacked flavor in the sauce and stuffing. We then received a chickpea dish as a mistake instead of our olives. We got the olives quick after and they were a nice variety. Later, we ordered bacon wrapped dates, hanger steak and the pressed "bikini" sandwiches. The bacon wrapped dates came first and I was very impressed. I usually am not a big dried fruit person but the roasted dates melted in your mouth and the combination of sweet and savory made a great combo. The pressed “bikini” sandwiches were so good. The ibérico chorizo was outstanding, and the sandwich was great overall. Lastly, we were waiting on our hanger steak quite a bit, I believe over an hour. It may have been forgotten but once we got it, the wait was so worth it. The chile adobe sauce was fabulous! The meat was tender and the whipped potatoes added a nice layer of texture and flavor to it. Overall, the food is delicious, and the prices are pretty typical for a place of its type. The service was okay, as it was a bit slow and we felt forgotten at times. I would definitely come back here to try more though!
amazing!! definitely met my high expectations from reading other reviews.
the food was absolutely delicious, and the portions were perfect (not too small but definitely still tapas) so we got to try several of the many options on the menu and left perfectly full.
a top recommendation for chicagoan friends!
