La Plancha seating question
La Plancha seating question
We are working on our meal plans for our upcoming trip and La Plancha is on our list.
I am going to make reservations and was wondering if the restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating? (We prefer to be outside.)
Checked out their website but there aren't any pictures of the seating areas.

There is a small balcony on the street side if I am not mistaken. They used to sit deuces out there when it was Paradiso, I think.

The balcony seating is on two sides, street side, and the entrance side overlooking the small courtyard in front of Jewels/Royal Caribbean. They do have a divider of sorts placed between the tables outside and entrance to give it some division. I think they can fit 3 or 4 at the tables on that side.

Below is an excerpt from my May TR on the topic of La Plancha. As you can see..we really really enjoyed it 
Hopefully it hasn't changed!
We had reservations at 5:30 so we could take advantage of the Happy Hour I had heard so much about. We sat at the bar when we arrived. The inside of the restaurant is very nice with prints of various beaches on the wall. But I wanted to sit outside on the balcony. So I picked out the table I wanted and the maître d held it for us until we were ready to be seated. First order of business…Passion fruit sangria. What a bargain! $8 for a pitcher. And not just your average size pitcher but an extra large pitcher. The sangria was delicious. And all of the appetizers were $5. We got two orders of calamari and some hummus. Though we saw the filet mignon sliders I think they were...looked amazing. There were people at the bar making a meal of the appetizers. I totally would too! The calamari were exceptional, very tender and flavorful. And the hummus was amazing. Homemade and topped with olives and pine nuts and served with homemade pita bread. We also chatted it up with the host/part owner who was telling us that the chef would make anything we wanted even if it wasn’t on the menu. We ordered another pitcher of sangria before happy hour was over and took it out to our table. We didn’t order right away since we were still a bit full from the apps so we sipped our sangria and perused the menu. I ordered the Wahoo…delish. And the homemade butternut squash polenta was to die for. Hubby ordered the seafood linguine but substituted the mussels (which he had a bad reaction to last time he ate them 10 years ago) for grilled calamari. OMG…this dish was to die for. Huge shrimp, sweet scallops, calamari. Mostly seafood, not mostly linguine. But the flavor was incredible. Not your average seafood linguine by any means. And the presentation was lovely. I had taken a number of food pictures but for some reason didn’t get a shot of this. I must have been in a food coma! Allison and Reed got the paella. It was unique in that all of the items are separate plate and you mix it together yourself. The boys then got an after dinner coffee. Mark just asked that the bartender make something good up for him and that he did. Allison had some white port which was absolutely delicious. This place is top notch from the servers to the food. A+ Go here!!
