Amazing food & great service! We sat @the bar and had a lovely celebratory evening! I would definitely come back when we return to this lovely city!

The drinks and food were spectacular. It seems over the top, but the oxtail with bone marrow is actually very balanced and delicious!
Olivia
Great NYE pre-fix menu. Very tasty and inventive drinks and each course kept getting better. Great bites, music, and ambiance
Ethan
Food was tasty. For the prices would expect slightly larger plates. We spent about $200 for two people including one cocktail each. I could have probably eaten the whole menu if I came hungry.

This is exactly the type of food you want when thinking of tapas. The food is sooooo delicious with so many flavors coming at you, the hangar steak is unreal flavoring honestly could have just that and be very happy. The food comes out hot and fresh but recommend putting in a few plates per person from the jump. The only thing that might set this place back is the music and volume, personally for me it was fine but if you not in the mood for loud music or don't like throw back hip hop then just consider that.

The food was good but it was a little packed and felt crammed. They ran out of bread for some of their dishes because of how busy they were. The staff was friendly enough but could have been more attentive to our table. For example we ran out of drinks and water and wanted to order more but they never checked on the table after the food came and by the time they did it was just to clean our plates and we were already finished and ready to leave. Overall good food though and busy fun vibes.

The ambience is nice but the tasting menu seems underwhelming and overpriced compared to their classic menu.

There was a lot of confusion throughout our visit, starting right at the door. The front desk staff was outright rude. We had mistakenly made a reservation for two while having our two-month-old with us in a carrier. While I understand reservation policies, the host's tone and attitude during intake were unnecessary and unwelcoming. Once seated, we were told it was a chef's tasting menu, yet no one asked about dietary preferences. We were only asked about allergies. When we mentioned my wife's pine nut allergy, the staff handled that well — credit where it's due. However, I was never asked about my own dietary preferences and was simply served vegetarian courses alongside my wife. Given that this was a tasting menu, I assumed meat and fish courses would follow later, but they never came. Another inconsistency: our reservation clearly indicated one dessert per person, but at the restaurant we were given a single dessert to share. It left the impression that portions may be adjusted based on party size, which felt misleading. The food itself absolutely lived up to the hype. Unfortunately, the service and ambiance did not. The space felt chaotic, the pacing was off, and the staff seemed overwhelmed and unable to manage the crowd effectively. In the end, strong food couldn't make up for an experience that felt disorganized and poorly handled.

Expensive food but overall experience was good. It was busy on a Monday night which is a good sign

We had a wonderful time dining here. Regular patrons of this fine establishment, yet each time they offer a new fantastic menu option which is as delectable as the last!
Food was great. The space is very tight, practically elbow to elbow with the other tables. They do need to re-invest in their bathroom.

With so much hype around this place, we expected the food to be really good. However, it was a disappointing experience in general. The food did not amaze us as it was average at best best and for 2 people, we ordered about 11 dishes in general so we can speak confidently for food here. The only good dish was the octopus. The steak was such a disappointment along with some others, like the cod croquette as it was extremely salty and tasted like frozen fish sticks from supermarket. And the price for each of these tapas are such ridiculous. The restaurant itself had very packed seating with extremely loud disco 90s music playing. We felt like we were at a roller skating park in the 90s. The service also was not great. While out waiter was nice, the people that brought dishes to us were not. They were throwing plates on our table without ever telling us what the dish was. In overall, extremely disappointing experience for a Michelin recommended restaurant and for how much hype it gets

The taste was amazingly good! I ordered the grilled octopus and cod croquette, as well as the grape fruit juice, everything was so fresh and perfectly seasoned. I will definitely come back. The service was also wonderful.

I agree with other reviewers that it's really loud - a mix of music to appeal to all ages, I suppose, but some songs were really grating. It's a restaurant, not a club, right? We were there at 7:00 not late night. My other issue is that the whole concept is around sharing plates but the dishes that needed to be spooned out to each person did not come with any serving utensils. In the post-Covid era that's totally unacceptable. The only way to serve the paella, for example, was for each person to dig in with their own spoon. So odd. I also agree on the value - everything felt really expensive for the size of the plate. We were four people, each of us had a cocktail or wine to start, we had a bottle of wine (not a super pricey one), the veg paella, cheese board, and two other things. 500 dollars. To me that felt like a lot. We had a good time and the service was great and they were especially attentive to our one GF diner so we could be sure to order everything that would be ok for that person.

As usual a fantastic meal. The octopus and potatoes were absolutely transcendent. The Coppa and chorizo were so delicious. The duck was also a huge standout. Never had a mid meal here, one of the best restaurants in Boston consistently.
