5/5 ’s... Perfect for the whole family or date night! The atmosphere was classy, the food came out quick and attentive service. The traditional tapas come out individually so two per person plus an appetizer was the perfect amount of food for my wife, myself & our two year old. No reservations it’s first come first serve. If you are waiting on a table you can order a drink there or at a neighboring restaurant and open carry down to the park just down the street where you can see the ocean and kids can play in the grassy pavilion.

Came back a second time (a year later) while on another vacation. The service was much improved. Got met by a hostess right away and got a small table inside. They were busy, and the server acknowledged us right away (even if it took some time to get back to us). thanks LeShon :) The food was again all very good. Got a cheese plate for started and really enjoyed that. An excellent selection of cheese, olives, almonds. Had the Fish Tacos, Empanadas, Crab Cakes, Salad, Crab Rangoons and Enfurego Chicken. Everything was very good. It comes out Tapas style, which ensures that it's hot. Good portions, nice flavors, and well presented. Although we were full, we were able to share a couple of desserts. An OMG (triple chocolate cookies with espresso cream) and Salted Caramel Ice Cream. A nice finish to a terrific meal! ************************************************************ A solid 4 stars, but could have easily been 5. Stopped in with some friends for lunch. They weren't busy, but when we stepped in, couldn't find any waitstaff. Had to track down a service back by the kitchen. It was a little cool for outside, so we got a table for 4 inside. Got our waters, and first ordered placed. The food was excellent. Each of the entrees was done well, flavorful, good portions, and the right temperature. It was hard to choose a favorite, but the Steak Tostadas really stood out. We saved room for dessert. Again, each of them were very good, but the OMG was voted best overall! The service was just okay. The server was friendly enough, but after getting our different entrees (delivered by food runners/cooks), the server never checked back with us. We could have used some clean plates, and waters filled. Would hate to see them lose customers when they seem to have a lot of things going for them.

We stopped by during our Spring Break and it wasn’t too crowded. We ordered the ceviche, lamb chops, and seafood paella. We loved all of it! Great customer service and delicious food. A must try if you’re in Rosemary Beach.

As a local from Destin, this a great day trip to Rosemary Beach and check out La Crema. We had ceviche and the seafood paella. Yea, oh my god it’s good! Will definitely be back for these items and to try other things! A month later we went back and had the Malaga Shrimp and the Local Catch! Yup, I will be back for more! lol

Fun and flavorful spot for sharing plates! Loved the tapas-style menu—everything we tried was delicious and perfect for sharing. Highlights included the Brussels sprouts, patatas bravas, Serrano-wrapped figs, crab cakes, fish tacos, and paellas. Bonus: there’s a kids’ menu and a fun chocolate fondue dessert! They don’t take reservations, but the system is smooth—you leave your name and party size, and they text you a link to track your place in line. There was a bit of a wait, but it was well worth it. Friendly staff, and great atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating along a scenic street near the beach—ideal for catching the sunset. Just be aware: parking is limited, so plan accordingly.

Thoroughly enjoyed the food and service here! There were many vegetarian and unique offerings- we particularly enjoyed the burssel sprouts, shrimp, and cheese/dessert fondue. Highly recommend!

Reservations are not accepted so it's a get there and wait situation. You have a choice to eat outdoors or inside. Knowing this is the situation is helpful. U can grab a cocktail and walk down to the green space and look at the architecture and people watch. Once we were seated we ordered a bottle of wine, we picked a few items and enjoyed ourselves. Food was good, waitress was great. I'll return.
