I always come to this restaurant, the food is so good, the drinks are always spot on, not too strong and not too sweet just how I like it. The servers/bartender are very friendly. They have some nice decorations put up if you want to take some pictures and the atmosphere is nice. The dinning room is a perfect place to chat and feel at peace with the music. The bar is great to come have some quick drinks a couple of tapas, listen to music and leave happy, the patio is a nice place...

Ate here for the first time on 8/23/24 and it was fantastic. My friend and I just went with appetizers so we could share and try a bunch of stuff. I enjoyed the chicken empanadas, the shaved Brussels sprouts, and the duck medallions. The strawberry Paloma drink and the chocolate lava cake was good too. I will definitely be back!

Garlic shrimp was totally worth money. Taste has a hint of lemon in addition to the garlic. The Paella was cooked to perfection. They do give you lots of seafood in the paella and the lobster and crab meat slides right out of the shell. The rice was grainy, not at all gummy in texture and absorbed the complimentary flavors very well. Definitely worth the money to eat here.
