"Paella is basically party fuel in sheer size and complexity alone, and Socarrat isn’t shy about showing diners a fun — and gluten-free — time. Choose from several iterations of the signature dish, all priced per serving, like the arroz negro, packed with shrimp, calamari, white fish, scallops, piquillo pepper, fava beans, and squid ink sofrito or the carne with short ribs, chicken, chorizo, snow peas, and mushroom sofrito. Tapas, jamon, and queso boards are abundant, but a meal wouldn’t be complete without a pitch of sangria. Or many. At brunch, $39 buys a three-course prix-fixe, plus 90 minutes of unlimited sangria and mimosas." - Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner
