Have you ever been forced to make a decision between 2 entrees and you don’t know which one to go with? Or if you should get that appetizer? At Candela, there’s an option of getting half of an appetizer and half of an entree, or half of 2 entrees. It’s a nice option if you want salad but you also want the calamari.. or the ravioli.. or whatever else is tempting you. The food is very delicious with a variety of cuisine, Italian cuisine might be the most prevalent but then there are also pan-Asian dishes on the menu.

The decor is very romantic, medieval meets urban is the best way to describe it. And as it’s name describes, there are candles all over the restaurant. While waiting for your table or party, there are very comfortable couches available for you to lounge and order drinks at. The drinks are very good – the French martini was delicious.

Unfortunately, there are a few downsides to Candela. The waiting area isn’t very large so if you have a big party, it’ll get a little cramped. Likewise, Candela isn’t set up for big parties (i.e. over 5) There isn’t enough space to accomodate a large group – unless you only want to be able to talk to the people directly in front and next to you. The music is also slightly louder than you’d expect for such a romantic setting.
