El Pulpo & Tapas Bar is a delightful find in Middletown! The ambiance is cozy yet trendy, making it perfect for a casual dinner or a romantic date. We indulged in the paella, which was a seafood lover's dream - abundant and bursting with flavor. The garlic shrimp had a refreshing hint of lemon that was simply irresistible. Don't skip dessert; the chocolate strawberry cake is a must-try! With friendly service and quick turnaround, it’s definitely a place to relax and savor small plates... 🍷
