The big paella made our group happy! Shishito margs were also a hit! Come here with friends to share yummy tapas and finish with warm churros. Can’t complain it is a bit pricey though.

We stopped in on a busy Saturday without a reservation. The staff worked hard to squeeze our party of four in at the chef’s counter and we were seated within five minutes of our arrival. We were so grateful! The food and drinks were awesome and it was really fun to watch the kitchen work. Lots of menu options for the vegetarians in our group. Can’t say enough good things about the experience - great food, terrific service, fun atmosphere. Will keep this restaurant on our short list!

Nice atmosphere and location, but the food isn't the greatest quality. I had paella, but it was way too greasy.

One of the best Tapas restaurants I have been to, definitely recommend! Even though I was dining solo, started with the TABLA DE QUESOS Y EMBUTIDOS with Manchego, Mahón, Caña de Cabra, Jamón Serrano, Salchichón Ibérico, Chorizo Ibérico, served with olives and pan con tomate. You get the Iberico, olives and pan con tomate so 3 tapas on one plate plus a bunch of extras, absolutely amazing! Also had the Blistered Shishito Peppers with coarse sea salt, Bacon-wrapped dates stuffed with almonds and Valdeón blue cheese, and the Gambas al Ajillo-Shrimp, garlic, brandy, lobster reduction, Guindilla pepper in olive oil. Note the little red peppers in the Gambas are VERY hot, ate one with a shrimp and regretted it. Had the Rose and Blood Orange Sangria, both were excellent. Sat at the bar, great bartender and got to watch a very talented young lady prepping the charcuterie boards. Highly recommend!

I lived in Spain for almost a decade, and the food here is some of the most similar I’ve found in terms of taste. So simple, so tasty, and delicious drinks too!

Nicole my waitress was absolutely amazing! I'd come back to this establishment just based on her customer service skills. She was truly top notch when explaining the menu, recommending amazing tapas, constantly checked on me to make sure I'm have a good experience, and all around a wonderful person with a beautiful smile! Thank you so much Nicole for making my first experience at this restaurant not be my last! Truly can't wait to come back.

The bartender we had was absolutely amazing. The sangria was delicious not overly sweet. Garlic shrimp amazing and solid portions. The flan was our grand finale and it was perfection.
I may have completely missed the concept. Our food took forever to come to the table. The food was okay. I am vegetarian. I ate the eggplant and broccoli. Everyone's plates came out at different times. One person had received both of their dishes and almost finished them before the third person ever received their first plate. Maybe tapas aren't my thing. Our server took our drink and food order, and then we saw him about 90 minutes later to ask for the check. There were three of us. We each ordered 2 tapas. One person ordered a margarita, and one a glass of wine. The bill was $150.

We ordered Pulpo tapas, creamy mushroom croquette tapas and seafood paella! Both tapas were delicious and paella was tasty too. Idk the rice in paella suppose to cook like that but it was little uncooked. But overall i loved it !
The food and drinks were great, but the service was mediocre at best. Things started off poorly, with the server taking my wife and sister-in-laws' drink orders, then simply walking away. For context, we were a party of 7. We had to wait for their drinks to come out before he bothered to ask if we wanted to order any other drinks. The rest of our experience was similar, with slow, inattentive service, and at times seeming like the server didn't want to be there. It wasn't until we got the check at the end and saw and automatic 20% gratuity that we realized that the server was getting paid regardless of the quality of his service. We do not plan to return, which is a shame.
