text: I usually try to summarize an experience with a concise review but La Casa was such a mixed bag I am just going to have to relate my experience and let readers draw conclusions on their ownnnThe first time I tried to go here I called ahead to make sure they were not full I was told that if I got there in the next half hour to an hour they would be able to seat my party no problem minutes later we walked in and were told they only had room at the bar the place was pretty empty so I got the message make a reservation and do not trust anyones estimationnnThe next time I went with a confirmed reservation the service was good My crabstuffed mushroom tapas dish was visually appealing and full of great ingredientsexcept for the crab itself I do not know the because but it was bland and barely tasted like crab Everything else on the plate especially the sauce was delicious so it averaged out to not bad despite my disappointment with the starring ingredientnnThe paella took forever to come out but it came out hot meaning the kitchen was slow not the server Most of it was delicious The chorizo pieces just tasted like a hot dog a good hot dog mind you but more hot dog than spicy Mediterranean sausage for sure The rice was a little undercooked But everything else was good or better much of it greatnnI was not drinking that night but had I been I would have been disappointed They were out of more than a few selections preventing the creation of entire sections of the drinks menu example no mojitos that night Apparently such alcohol shortages are a common occurrencennId say this place has a lot of potential because though many things were subpar they are almost all easily fixed Knowing what to expect I would definitely consider returning though it would not usually be my first choice
