  Food was great but service was a little off

  We wanted to have spanish to celebrate 2 birthdays. We booked My Little Spanish Place as it was in a central area, close to one of our offices and we thought it would be nice to have a river front spanish place at the end of the work week, and it was available on a friday night.
  
  Boat quay was packed on a friday night! Exciting vibes though. We were seated at the river side. Tables were quite close to each other to be honest a little cramped. Good fan ventilation so not too warm.
  
  The service was abit lacking. Staff were standing at the restaurant entrance across on the 'street' side. It was difficult to get their attention, and they don't come around often to check on guests.
  
  We waited sometime to take our order. The waiter was abit off that night. He seems unable to comprehend our order, we repeated 3 times and then pointed to the menu. He looked at the menu like he couldn't read. He finally took down the dish number and went off for a long time before he came back with ice water. I wasn't sure if he was drunk or he couldn't read or he couldn't hear us or feeling ill. Later on, another waitress came back to confirm the orders for our table and others near us - she was sharp and no issues.
  
  The restaurant manager finally came around to take drink orders (ya strange arrangement), he told us sangria was not available as they had served the last sangria as there was some issue with fruit delivery. He came back to say that they had enough for 1 glass of white sangria and offered it to us. I understand sometimes there are delivery issues. But I would expect sangria to be the staple drink for a spanish restaurant, it was only 8pm on a full capacity night and they're sold out on sangria.
  
  Food was good though and made up for the strange service. We had the paella (be prepared for 30min wait while we had other tapas), the gambas al ajillo (prawns), almejas al vino balnco (clams), grilled asparagus and churros.

  Nice Spanish place on the river

  Great little Spanish restaurant on the river. I would go back and recommend to friends.

  Great food n great service

  We dined at the boat quay branch on 8 Jan.
  
  The staff were attentive, polite n prompt in their service.
  
  The food was fresh n of the right proportions. The squid ink paella was especially good.
  
  Special thanks to the manager who surprised us with a special dessert when I shared that we were celebrating my wife’s birthday.

  A Pity

  We made a reservation for this place because it was close to the location we wanted to be and because the reviews looked quite good. Looking forward to our dinner we were all prepared. Booking done, request for outside seating in the booking done. We arrived looking forward for a decent al fresco Spanish dinner with good food and a good bottle of wine. But no; we arrived and we were told that; because we booked with Google(Chope links to Google accounts) we had to sit inside even though 5! tables were available outside. I asked is it not first come first serve, but no he said you booked via Google today that’s inside seating. Tomorrow I will confront Google with that btw when I am back in their office.
  
  We left.
  
  From these places I really hope they up their commercials. Running a business is not only done through good food.
  
  Their slogan: Mi casa es su casa seems to be nothing more than just a slogan.
  
  Maybe we try another time again, maybe not.

  They cancelled my reservation 3-4hrs before dinner

  They called me up and cancelled my reservation 3-4hrs before we were due to arrive???? Apparently the booking before us wanted to extend so we were being cancelled on..... unbelievable..... no interest in this place and would suggest others avoid unless you don’t mind a game of Russian roulette
