"Alegrias serves up authentic Spanish fare. Complimentary bread with olive oil is served at each table, additional orders are available for $3.50. My group ordered paella Marinera, arroz nNegro, calamari, cuttlefish, and flan. The paella dishes were supposed to take 35 minutes to prepare, but unfortunately it was closer to an hour before we received our paella dishes. Grilled cuttlefish $19 This consisted of 4 small pieces of cuttlefish, served on a bed of lettuce. The cuttlefish was a little hard and chewy, and didn't have much flavor. It was a really disappointing dish. Calamari $17 This dish was definitely better than the cuttlefish but was just average in terms of taste when compared to other places serving calamari. The quantity was lacking in this dish. Paella Marinera $34 Consisting of seasoned saffron rice and plenty of sea food, this dish was the highlight of the evening! It was perfectly prepared and had so much flavor! Arroz Negro $37 Presentation for this squid ink paella was excellent! Topped with 3 large shrimp and plenty of cooked squid pieces in the squid ink rice the taste was pretty good. Unfortunately parts of the rice on the edges were burnt and overcooked. The dish was also a little dry. Flan $12 The flan wasn't bad and was creamy, but on the smaller side given the price point. Overall I found most of the dishes here to be average, with the exception of the paella marinera, which really stood out! Service was slow and there is a mandatory 20% service charge."
