This is not your traditional tapas menu. Had various “ tapas” and all were disappointing. My “ gambas” not deveined. They are langostinos. No children’s menu. Sangria tastes sour and more like juice. Moscow mule served in a regular tall glass. No dessert ordered. Left hungry. Servers and waiter super friendly and knowledgeable on menu. We tried and supported local but not going back or recommend unfortunately.
We had a party of 12 and in the end I felt unsatisfied and it ended up costing $532. In perspective that is $45 per person. The portions were small and the cost was a extremely high.

The food is pretty good but VERY small portions (tapas) for the price they are charging! Highly recommend the pulpo, but the croquettes I would not order again - fried mush, no texture and flavor not quite there. Great Gin & Tonic drinks

I would not come back to this place. First off, the food was not great. Second, we had water dripping on us from the ceiling our entire dinner. We alerted our server and she did not seem to care. Then our bill came and we were overcharged. I didn’t realize until we left and I tried to call the restaurant but they did not have anyone to answer the phones nor return my call. Absolute scam.

Really terrible meal. The food was lacking in every direction and some dishes were already sold out even though we were one of the first seatings. The cocktail I ordered was watered down and one of the worst I've had. Nice atmosphere, but that's truly it.

Amazing experience. The food is great and we had great service. We toured the private event space, Botánico, while there and it’s gorgeous throughout the whole building/ restaurant.

A sad day for this restaurant. The service was a snoozefest and the food? Well let’s just say it wasn’t what it used to be.

Stopped here for dinner. Service was good. Outdoor space was nice, street is not too busy. Octopus dish was incredible, everything else we ordered including Shishito was great. Drinks were only ok. Overall and really positive experience and I would recommend it. I’d even be tempted to go back for the octopus.

I have told friends that the food here is totally underrated, and I still stand by that. The issue I had is they advertise on a big sign on the sidewalk that on Sunday’s that have half price paella and half price bottles of wine. It’s kind of expensive so this seemed like a good opportunity. My wife and I went on Sunday, got a table outside and ordered paella and other deliciousness. Then we asked which wines were half price, the waitress had to check and told us they sold out of the half price wines… ok whatever fine. We ordered a full price bottle. Then when our check came, I noticed the paella was not marked 50% off, we again asked our waitress about it and she said she had to check with a manager. It took 10 mins and they decided to honor it. We were literally sitting next to a sign that said it was half price. I am not cheap and have no problem for paying for well prepared food, but this experience left a bad taste in my mouth and I won’t be back. This was months ago and they still roll the same sign out every Sunday. We spent $200+ for two people, they got about $75 out of us more then they should have, but lost a customer and an advocate.
