la mesa

César offers diners the opportunity to reserve our large communal table, la mesa, for special family-style dinners for groups of 12 to 14 people. La Mesa begins with savory César olives and fried marcona almonds, followed by a selection of six authentic tapas made with the finest ingredients from Spain and our own locally-grown meats, seafood, and produce. La Mesa culminates with a true taste of Spain in the form of our Paella César, a delicious rice-based dish full of fresh seafood, chicken, and house-made chorizo, served in a large authentic paella pan, and concludes with a selection of our 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.
