Some places shouldn't be kept a secret

by GoodLuckChuck at Citysearch

The braised short ribs is what I ordered the last time I was here and let me tell you it was superb. I came here for a second date and shared the dish. I asked the waitress if the dish would be fair enough for two. She said that the dish would be a good size unless one of us tends to eat an ample amount to ourselves. Before they served the ribs the waitress had given us some fresh flat bread served with seasoned butter. I asked the waitress to bring us some sangria as we waited for the main entree. We had a lovely night there and after dinner, we conversed over a few drinks. BTW, they also have a full bar. This place was recommended to me by a friend for having a nice romantic ambiance and that's why I chose this place. My date loved the choice too. D'Cache also had some cool gypsy style music playing while we were there. This is an amazing dinner spot, especially for a date, a couple, or even just for a couple of friends. I heard the lamb is really good, but if you want to try something different definitely go for the short ribs.

• Pros: An amazing dinner spot good for two or more
• Cons: Kinda hidden

DINE LIKE A KING

by RichBrad at Citysearch

Let me tell you this place made my night. After leaving work I met some friends and family at this place and it was out of this world. We had some yuka pastels, some pinchos gaucho style, ajillo mushrooms and some other TASTY treats. In short i had to order another order of Lamb chops for my wife cause I devoured hers. They have live entertainment and a beautiful open air kitchen. I cant wait to go there again.

• Pros: Authentic Brazilian-Spanish tapa's and Sangria :)
• Cons: A bit hidden but I think thats a plus+

Beautiful homeD'cache has great tapas and the ambience is great!!! I frequent the restaurant and have to say the musicians are top notch!!! A couple of guys really caught my ear and they go by Espino!! These guys are truly amazing and a talent that needs to be sought by the big time. I have seen many performances there and all are just ok but Espino by far is D'cache's best!!!

The service us great and will continue to dine at D'cache!!! If any one wants to know more about Espino, I advise you check out their web site to see when they are at D'cache . Espimusic. Com

You won't be sorry!!

BEST PAELLA IN CALIFORNIA

by louhill77 at Citysearch

The D'Cache experience was fantastic, the owners Patty and Jairo are very friendly and hands on owners.

They treated us royally and we were able to celebrate an impromptu birthday. The food was amazing, the tapas were very originals and delicious. The Paella was the closest to my grandma's when I was growing up. The service was excellent, The music fun and we could push the tables and dance.

We had an amazing night and we'll be back regularly. FELICITACIONES!!!

Best Tapas Lounge!

• Pros: Great Food, Great Service
• Cons: A bit hidden

Exquisite!

by TheGolfer18 at Citysearch

Was there for dinner last wednesday, for the fist time. I wanted to try something a little different and I came across D'Cache doing an Internet search for the new restaurants in the area. I have to say it was a beautiful dining experience. From the minute we walked in the floor, we were greeted by the waitress (i don't recall her name) and we received some of the best service ive ever had. She was attentive to every guest and provided excellent recommendations. The food - from the tapas to the dessert- was delicious and full of flavor. The atmosphere and the ambiance was brilliant. As we prepared to leave we asked the waitress about the rest of the restaurant and she was so nice, she took time out of her busy night to give us a quick tour of the whole place and we found it really nice, especially the two private areas. I will definitely be returning and I will be telling my friends about D'cache. Im glad i discovered it!

• Pros: Service,Food
• Cons: Hard to find its behind a spa

Desperate & Pathetic

by ZackAttack3 at Citysearch

From the moment you walk in, you sense the desperation of the restaurant. The owners attack the table, needing to know all about you, and forcing you to sign guest books to get your contact information. The service is below AMATEUR, regardless of the high prices. You can witness the children waiters clumsily opening a $200 bottle of wine; It's embarrassing for everyone involved. Or you can order the AWFUL house Sangria ($10) that mixes the CHEAPEST gin, brandy, and wine; guaranteed headache. The tapas are mediocre. The only good thing, is the old house in which you are dining, but then why not just eat at home? By the time you leave, you feel sorry for the fake, needy owners. But once you know that both of the them have ZERO experience with restaurants, you realize that they are ignorant not only in the dining world, but on so many other levels. You can already witness their failure; the owners are open about their financial problems. D'cache needs to just fade away.

• Pros: Old house.
• Cons: Everything else unacceptable.

Secluded tapas restaurant on busy Riverside Drive offers a mix of Mediterranean, Spanish and South American specialties.

In Short
A beauty salon shields this white Spanish Mission-style house from the street, while large green palms hide the heavy wooden door from the cobblestone entry. The multiple dining rooms' dark cherry-stained panels andburgundy tablecloths provide cozy nooks for the celebrating friends or privacy-seeking romantics to enjoy a small, but detailed menu. Items change weekly, but have included classic shrimp seviche with plantains and heavier dishes like bone-in braised short ribs and Brazilian-style lamb chops in pistachio-pesto marinade.
