The service and outdoor patio area was wonderful. Our waiter was kind and very attentive. Food was fast, and I really liked their omelette. However, the other tapas were only okay. But their sangria and desserts were well done. Overall, this restaurant present very nice charm, has kind staff, and solid food. I recommend a stop here when in the area!
