Nice vibe, the food is good but the only thing, too much oil every where. I understand that here people want extra of everything but we don’t eat like that. You need to educate people. Olive oil in the bask cheesecake too? Really? We don’t need that much fat. Keep it more simple as we do in Europe.
For the rest also people are nice so is a good place and we had fun.

Great spot for some food and drinks. The rainbow trout, oysters, and bombay rice really stood out. Drinks however couldve been better, not too many special cocktail items and the drinks were not filled up properly. It was like 3/4 filled and at that price, i would want a full glass

Fitting LES cozy spot for tapas, moderately priced wine list. Favorites were Quail and beans con tomatoes and Pickled cucumbers with anchovies. Reservation strongly recommended or there might be a 2 hrs wait.

Came for a drink and wow did they deliver. Fantastic wet martini - strong and just, amazingly balanced. Cool vibe too! Curious what the food is like so might have to give it a shot another time!

Some dishes were 10/10 and others were actually bad. I’d recommend the burger, it was delicious. Don’t get the trout. Cocktails were strong but not very tasty.

Waited 40 minutes between our small plates and our mains and then they came out and were cold. While the food was good the service was not great.

Perfect for drinks and shared plates outside or at the bar area. Cool interior design, friendly staff. Back room is great for dinner.

Ordered fried black bass, bomba rice with shrimp, half chicken, meatballs and pea shoots with tonnato. Best bite was definitely the bomba rice.

If there’s a wait, go to Somm Time next door for a drink before.

the wet martini was amazing and so well-balanced. space is sleek and cool with some modern and classic touches. great patio if it’s not too hot out. perfect for a date or catching up with friends. would recommend for cocktails and will go back to try out the food.

This place had huge potential! Drinks were amazing. Gilda’s were yummy. Rice was a little acidic though, the burger was out of place and full of raw onion and it was super loud.

Food was good, but the service completely ruined the experience. Our server Colin (girl) was rude, dismissive, and even mocked me to her coworkers simply because I asked for clarification on a menu item. That’s unacceptable in any restaurant. If you don’t actually enjoy serving people, then you shouldn’t be working as a waitress—it’s literally the job. Customers deserve respect, not to feel embarrassed for asking a simple question - especially on a $200 bill.

One of the worst dinning experiences i’ve had in a restaurant/bar for some years. I was seated at the bar, and the barman didn’t want to take my order because at that point I only knew what I was eating for starters. At some point, after being extremely pushy, he gets anxious and takes the order for the starters; without asking me again. The starters come and I don’t receive napkin or any kind of silverware. At this point I’m very frustrated and decide to leave. I go to the restroom and I lift the seat cover, as an educated gentleman, where between the seat cover and the base is a big chunk of human excrement. Again, one of the worst dinning experiences in my life. I gave the feedback to the hostess. She was very polite and, I guess, thankful for the feedback.

It transformed me back to Madrid. Loved everything! The only thing missing is vermouth on tap with a couple of olives. Will come back!
