Food was ok but not fabulous. Location was great. Staff so nice but busy so low contact frequency.
Amazing meals and a really nice environment! Wonderful service too! Will definitely be back
Tapas were absolutely delicious! We ate the short rib empanadas, the chicken skewers and shrimp was off the charts delicious. I tried the steak frites with fries unfortunately I thought it was way too fatty and tough but the flavor was really good. Loved the fries.
