la mesa "the table"

For up to 25 guests

 

La mesa " the table" is a family-style meal served at either one of our large communal tables or in our private, round, dining room.  La mesa begins with our house-dressed olives and roasted marcona almonds, followed by an array César tapas. The center piece of la mesa is Paella César, a delicious rice-based dish full of fresh seafood, chicken, and house-made chorizo, cooked in a large authentic paella pan(a vegetarian version is available). La mesa concludes with a selection of three rustic, seasonal desserts. The meal includes your choice of beverages from our extensive list of wines, spirits, beers, cocktails, aperitifs, digestifs, and non-alcoholic drinks.
