The food is fantastic! My GF and I have been here on several occasions, and each time it wows. It's tapas style and there are a lot of wonderful items to choose from. We started with the white sangria. It's crisp, fruity and has a nice acidic kick to it. It's not overly sweet. Our first menu item was the goat cheese and arugula salad. It has toasted pumpkin seeds and strawberries with a vinaigrette dressing. It's a great mix of sweet and savory with some different textures as well. Our second course was the Brussels sprouts. I don't know how they make these taste so good, but they're delicious. Crispy leaves with tender full sprouts with a wonderful sauce. Next up was the Mac and cheese with Spanish chorizo (a much harder chorizo than the more crumbly Mexican style). This was very flavorful but not too rich. A lot of "fancy" Mac and cheese entrees tend to be overly rich. This was just perfect. Lastly, we split the burger. It was rich and meaty served on an airy bun. It comes with a balsamic vinegar reduction that really contrasts the meat well. We were too full to get dessert (a rarity for me). Our server was friendly and helpful. The food arrived hot and quickly. If you like tapas, or flavorful food in general, I would highly recommend Phlight.
Whittier best kept secret! Those that know this restaurant are lucky to know it. The food, ambience and service is that of a top rated restaurant. Definitely worth the drive. Always ask to hear the specials at this place. I recommend getting here early to get good seating. We enjoy coming to this place over and over again.

We came when it barely opened and there was already people getting in line. The food is so good. I liked all the dishes we ordered except for the paella. The tuna tostada and potatoes are really good. Good portions on the patatas bravas (potatoes). Skirt steak was my second favorite dish- I heard they sell out of those quickly.
I have already given Phlight 5 stars in the past but after returning from a fabulous trip to Spain my husband and I said we still miss eating at Phlight!!
OVERALL EXPERIENCE: Food was good and I would be back! esp for the bacon wrapped dates!
AMBIANCE: We came for lunch on a Friday. Noise level is average and they weren't too busy.
DRESS CODE: Smart Casual
ORDERED: - Pilsner and White Sangria - Bacon Wrapped Dates (10/10!) - Lengua Soft Taco and Pork Belly Soft Taco (these were tasty) - Grilled Octopus: very tasty! but was not worth $21 for just two arms! - Phlight Burger with a side of fries! (tasty and the side of fries was a good amount!)
SERVICE: Service was good!
PRICE: ~ $50pp
PARKING: public parking structure across the street (not sure the rate), street parking for 2hrs, there's also public lots one block away for 3hrs.
Food and atmosphere was great but my credit card was overcharged. I had to call two days later when I realised the amount did not match my receipt. Refund was given without discussion but it’s not a good thing to happen. Consider paying cash in this business, and if using card keep your copy of the receipt and check your card afterwards.
