    I would say as far as tapas goes usually each little plate leaves you wanting more because it’s just so tasty. Each mouthful decadent and sumptuous. That’s not the kind of tapas you will get here. Each plate is good. The flat bread is average. The drinks are sweet and watered down. Eating upstairs guarantees your service will leave you alone and it will be a hushed ambiance. The downstairs is a starkly different vibe. As far as parking goes, if you can’t find a spot in their designated parking, go to the deck that’s across the street from the entrance. Sugar factory valet is $30, parking in their lot is validated but highly limited.

    If you can weather the traffic then you should come down to this Gastrobar right after work! They have a happy hour from 5-7 and their craft cocktails are something to write about Be sure to sit at the bar so you can capitalize on their happy hour food menu. If you’re sat then you unfortunately won’t be able to get it. Overall the food was to the bar pretty quickly from ordering. I would say 10/15 minutes max. The margarita pizza unfortunately was undercooked but the size definitely was a bit bigger than the “Tapas” serving, which is a plus for me. I would come back for an ambient date or an after work cocktail!

    On a trip to Atlanta visiting some family, we came across this restaurant, and we are so happy we did. What a great place, from food, drinks and service, 5 starts all around! Their Paella is top notch, the flavor is outstanding you can taste a hint of saffron and seafood was so fresh and delicious outstanding! The white sangria was so refreshing and so good. I would highly recommend this place, give it a try I am sure you’ll be back.

    12/10 would recommend. Me and my friends sat at the bar and had an amazing time! Our waitress/bartender Dyve did an excellent job serving us and making sure we had everything we needed. Now let’s get into this food. We did the $30 pre set menu and $20 bottomless mimosas and sangria! We all ordered different things First course: grilled flatbread, ham croquettes, and watermelon salad Second course: bulla burger, chicken and waffles and bulla Benedict Third course: Torrija, blueberry & ricotta pancakes and churros Let me say this WE WILL BE BACK!!!!

    A couple times on a whim me and my husband with no reservation came to Bulla and was never busy .. but we always enjoyed the place .. so we decided to invite our friends . So we called two weeks ahead did a reservation and we kept telling the person who took the call we like to be seated out side . Even he did not promise but we knew at 5:30 pm reservation the restaurant will not even be busy. And yes it’s Saturday. We came a little early asked to be seated.. and they said we can’t because it’s booked .. for other parties .. when we where confused about how could you book to others and confirm and why not now for us .. they went got the manager the whole area out side at least was 50 seats EMPTY. And they said it was booked for other reservation!! Then they called the manager who said they had a party of 15 people who live in the building and they always book that’s table .. we tried politely to convince the manager to accommodate us since no one is their and all the tables are empty.. and he kept saying the silliest excuses and was RUDE from the minute he came without even saying hello .. I told him why would you keep a table reserved for 15 people for 7:30 when we are here at 5:30 ready to be seated .. he said because I CAN then I said. ARE YOU SERIOUS He replied .. no I am ( said his name ) which I did not catch because he was rude and being sarcastic.. I can’t tell you how hard I tried with this man to help us take any table out side .. while the WHOLE area was empty .. literally the whole patio is empty . finally after my husband and all offered to take a table outside until any reservation come then we leave !!!!!! Imagine he made us rush our drinks.. rush our dinner.. got us all to wonder why he would be that RUDE and don’t want to seat us !!!! FYI .. we all have accents !!!! .. no one was rude to him ..no one was even loud . We all were trying to be seated .. at the end !! I told him he was rude . Bad example to his staff and the establishment he works for !! And he said I don’t care .. you don’t like it you can leave !!! Any way we got seated out side after we agreed to leave when the other party arrive .. off course we had no choice to go any where else !!! We are six people on a Saturday in midtown..! and guess what .. NO ONE WAS COMING . Tables were empty .. it started raining at 7:30 .. and we asked where is that party he wants to seat .. they pointed at another party was seated inside when we were seated that they sat inside!!!!! Which is a big LIE !!!! Any way until we left the restaurant after we moved to sit inside to another empty table inside for 6 leaving at 9 pm tables were still EMPTY .. this person does not deserve to work any where . He should be miserable and envious alone away from people . I have never ever seen such a rude manager in a hospitality business like him .. I will definitely never will come back because of his bad attitude even we had a GREAT Server.. I believe Lorenzo is his Name .. truth he was the only good thing about tonight experience. Definitely will never recommend this place ever to any one ..😡will be attaching couple of pictures of the patio after we left !!! And yes no body was seated their but us only .. what a joke this guy is .

    Listen!!! The food,drinks, and service did not disappoint. Divey, our waitress was very attentive and friendly with so much personality. Our party sat outside (although cold). However, she and her staff were very accommodating and made sure we were comfortable. Not pictured, but the Smoked Salmon...... You... Must.....Try!! Highly recommend

    Jessica was absolutely amazing. We had 2 rounds of drinks complimented by a couple of tapas and an entree. For the tapas we had the grilled octopus & grilled steak and the lamp chops for our entree. My partner had a wonderful dessert I cannot remember the name of. Immaculate.

    This place truly has great service. In a city filled with so many restaurants to choose from, this tapas location is affordable and the food taste great. In each dish you can taste the attention to detail. The seafood Paella is filled with shrimp, prawns, octopus, small baby clams and, squid rings. This dish can serve 3-4 comfortably. The margherita flat bread is served crisp with just the right amount of sauce. The basil and Italian seasonings were sprinkled over the tomatoes and I would personally love a little balsamic drizzle to add to the sweetness of the tomatoes. The grilled octopus was hands down the most savory dish, thanks to the corn puree. The grilled salmon on a bed of spinach with chick peas and slivered garlic topped with the lemon sauce was great. There are many choices and our server was helpful and did not hesitate to offer guidance.

    First time having Brunch at Bulla after having dinner and lunch before. I LOVED it, excellent menu choices and I savored every last bite of my potato tortilla and blueberry ricotta pancakes. The passion fruit mimosa was on point! Victoria, who assisted us was outstanding. Spanish brunch is for me!

    Great experience at Bulla! From start to finish. The food quality and price were just on point. Our server Ali went above and beyond to accommodate my pregnant wife and make her a special tea. Steak and eggs were phenomenal as well as the flatbread and many other things we ordered. I’d highly recommend it.

    Thank you 🙏🏾 Jalen for the invitation. Well worth the visit. I started off with the Cream of Butternut Squash, had such an unctuousness, flavorful well balanced rich creamy and savory. With this being my first appetizer/soup 🍲 I felt it should have been a smaller serving (personal opinion) with it being a heavy rich soup it wouldn't leave much room for rest of the meals. I ate half of the generous portion [8 oz]. Moved on to the 5 oz Salmon, baby spinach ad chickpeas lemon 🍋 cream. The Salmon could have been hit with a spice or at least salt n pepper, rather flat with just the char taste. Forgot about the chickpeas found few of them kinda hidden under all the spinach, honestly I think it to be an afterthought didn't really do anything for the dish and the lemon cream definitely needed more lemon. Chef Marcel came out explained what happened with this particular dish was very polite and gracious took good care of Me. The other star for the day was the Shrimp Curry, beautifully balanced superbly flavorful, shrimp was over cooked but the seasoning and sauce well made up for it. I actually took the Salmon added into the sauce with some spinach 😋. Over all pleased and will definitely come back to try more dishes. Stepped away to the restroom upstairs to find a beautiful dining and view windows open for the gorgeous 73° weather which really would have been perfect setting to enjoyed lunch but it wasn't available, shame.

    My boyfriend suggested this restaurant since we were going to a show in the area. We went during happy hour and sat at the bar. The bartender quickly came over and greeted us. I don't recall the name of the drinks we ordered, but they were both really delicious. Since we only wanted a light bite, we ordered the garlic shrimp and the flatbread. The shrimp was beyond savory and juicy with a hint of heat, and words cant described how good the flatbread was. Definitely be sure to try both. Although the bar area was a little congested and loud, I can't wait to return again to try other menu items.

    Such a great evening. We experienced high-level dishes, good music, and outstanding service, especially Portia, our waitress, that made everything even better. We will definitely come back.

    Fantastic tapas! Excellent food, great ambiance - loved the outdoor seating - and phenomenal service!! From the hostesses up front to our excellent server Cecil (he was so friendly and helpful!) we felt so well taken care of. The chorizo stuffed dates are a must and the margarita flatbread was also a must! Everything was absolutely delicious and the non alcoholic fresh lemonades are SO DAMN GOOD! 🔥

    Absolutely amazing.. Mario is so nice and attentive. He literally treated me like a princess. The food was perfect. Nice vibe and I’m so happy they had coconut margaritas. I could not find coconut anything anywhere I went in Atlanta and I’m from Miami so I’m used to having it available. It was so good- get it & thank me later. I’ll definitely be back!

    The bartender was friendly and took my food allergy seriously. But the food was the star of the show. We got a charcuterie and some small plates while waiting for the paella and it was more than worth the wait. One of the best I've had.

    When I saw 'tapas', I was afraid I'd leave hungry. WRONG! The portions were larger than I expected and every dish was delicious. The service and atmosphere was superb for weekend brunch. Definitely visiting again.

    We had dinner here before going to a concert in the city. The lamb was wonderful. So flavorful and the presentation was great too. I highly recommend. We loved it so much that we came back for dessert after the concert. Our waiter Mario was awesome!

  • 5/5 Ruben R. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow! Everything was absolutely amazing! The foods was super delicious! The paella was extremely satisfying and perfectly seasoned, the grilled octopus hit the spot, the ceviche en jalapenos was very refreshing and tasty, and the desserts were a great way to finish this unforgettable meal! Our server Ali was extremely attentive, knew the menu very well, amd recommend the perfect wine for the ceviche! Props to her! The atmosphere was very inviting and fun! We will return soon and we highly recommend BULLA for dinner, gatherings or date night!

  • 5/5 Amelia A. 1 year ago on Google
    Jessica was an absolute delight! So knowledgeable, kind, and energetic. Had a birthday dinner with friends. The ambiance made it delightful. Not too loud and conversation flowed. The sangria pitcher is a MUST, especially with the paella. Definitely will return as often as possible.

  • 3/5 Maria S. 1 year ago on Google
    Our food was amazing, the drinks were okay, but the service was horrible. Also, the bathroom is located on the second floor and getting to the back of the restaurant to locate the elevator is not easy. The waiter still got over 20%, but we were Essentially ignored. Water glasses went empty, cocktails were forgotten about, it took him 20 minutes to return to take our order after our charcuterie was out. And he wasn't busy. He was actually just talking to a friend and showing off half naked pictures of women on Instagram. How do I know? Because they were at the table next to the server station. He ignored all of his tables while chatting with a friend. Ruined our experience, we didn't want to order more drinks or food after our first round because of how long it would take him to return to our table. Left hungry and disappointed.

  • 4/5 Jacquis R. 3 years ago on Google
    Great bloody Mary!! Love the vibe and atmosphere of the restaurant. The pork hash and eggs needed more salt but the poached egg helped alot. The calamari was perfectly fried. The octopus tapa was amazing!! We also ordered the garlic shrimp which simply tasty. Hubby ordered the steak and eggs. The eggs should've been cooked a few seconds more for the white to be fully cooked, steak overcooked but the chimichurri sauce saved it. Definitely want to come back

    A fine eatery with top notch service. I’ve been here several times and each time impressed with their staff; friendly yet efficient. The food being small plates is the best part, one can try different plates and experience the Spanish flavors. Favs are Dates wrapped with bacon & Garlic Shrimp.

  • 5/5 Sara W. 1 year ago on Google
    Bulla was amazing! Perfect for a date night and girls night out! Drinks were delicious and the food was so good. Had tapas (get the octopus) and the dates!!! Cecil was a fantastic server! And we even met the chef - he was so polite. We will be back!

  • 5/5 Jenn F. 3 years ago on Google
    White Sangria is refreshing! Perfect drink for summer brunch. Tapas are generous servings as far as tapas go. The breakfast flat bread, meatballs, and potatoes are delicious! Nice bar. Cool outdoor seating area near the bar.

  • 3/5 C 3 years ago on Google
    Food wasn't amazing, but it wasn't bad either. It was just your average tapas, really. I don't know if normal, but everything came out within 10-15 minutes and it was really fast. I like to chat over wine while waiting for food to come out, but the food came out first before we got the wine. We ordered 5 tapas including a seafood paella and almost everything came out at the same time. Last time I came, the paella was said to take over 35-45 minutes, but this time, it came out around the 15 minute mark. We came in on a Saturday night, so it was not a slow night either. Don't know if the amount of time it took to prepare the food made me feel weird about the freshness of it, but other than that, the wine was good. I don't know if I would come back for the tapas or the paella. Sadly, it was just not for me. But definitely still give it a try.

  • 3/5 Eric Jones I. 3 years ago on Google
    The food was good. Not the best tapas but price point competes with better offerings. The reason for 3 stars was the sub-bar service. Dishes were brought out only half plated, wrong items were brought to the table multiple times, and water was almost always empty. It was a friends birthday and at an average price of $80 per person, I would have at least expected attentiveness. Drinks were also not competitive at this price point. I would not return here. Much better experiences in the metro area!

  • 5/5 Lisa B. 2 years ago on Google
    I came here for my birthday dinner with friends and family and had a wonderful time! Our servers were amazing and so attentive especially considering how large our party was. They even held my birthday cake in the back until it was time for cutting. The Paella Mixta was delicious and such a huge portion! I had enough leftover to eat the next day! The complimentary birthday drink was a nice touch as well. Overall, great experience!

  • 5/5 Noah S. 2 years ago on Google
    Incredible Spanish food and dining atmosphere. The chef’s board charcuterie and cheeses were a great way to start the meal. The seafood paella was wonderful. Be sure to save room for desserts and Cava!

  • 5/5 Suzy E. 2 years ago on Google
    Bulla has the perfect atmosphere for tapas, it's warm welcoming and comfortable. I went for a work lunch and it was delightful! Great staff, attentive but not overly concerned ( some places they check in on you like every two seconds and it can be annoying) but not Bulla! And their food was so delightful! The gaspacho was a taste of freshness, I LOVE me a good gaspacho and this did not disappoint. Their lunch special was great, way more than enough food. It was not too loud even tho it started to get busy toward the end of our meeting.

  • 4/5 Trang T. 2 years ago on Google
    Super tasty place for small plates and drinks. If you're a garlic lover at heart, the garlic shrimp is a must. Our go to paella choice is usually seafood for many places, but the chicken paella here was amazing and converted us.

  • 5/5 Cindy K. 1 year ago on Google
    Ali is the best waitress I’ve ever had! She gave us the complete experience. She kept the mimosas coming for the table. Very nice, very fast! The Brunch Paella is the best food I ever had in life. The Paella Mixta and Calamari was great too. I’m telling u The Bulla sauce was a mouthgasm that burst in my mouth! So amazing. Ali is a 5 star waitress and makes the restaurant feel very welcoming!

    I was there to cerebrate my birthday. I love all the food and atmosphere. Food came out fast and great service from Mario. Only few things that I think should improve there are too far of rest room and a few little flies

    Aly was amazing!! Our food was delicious! There were so many balanced flavors and portion sizes were perfect! The bottomless mimosas were on point! Perfectly balanced with the fresh orange juice! 👌🏽 I’m definitely coming back! Completely affordable also!

  • 5/5 jAi p. 1 year ago on Google
    Enjoyed Chardinae! Super sweet. The crispy flatbread was really good and the chicken and waffles. The calamari was just okay. Took full advantage of the bottomless mimosas! Really liked the passion fruit. I wasn’t a fan of the salmon but my family enjoyed it.

    Just recently moved to the area and this is one of my favorite places to go. The ambiance is fantastic and the food is so delicious. My spouse is from Spain and they have said this is the most authentic Spanish cuisine they have tasted. On top of that, even with a busy restaurant, the service is top notch! Caroline is one of our favorite servers. Always has a smile on her face and keeps your drinks filled. This is now one of my new neighborhood go to’s!
