I loved this place! Such a cute little gem. We went there for brunch and had a great experience. The setting was very comfy despite the limited space, the food was delicious, and the service was on top! They timely refilled the mimosas, and the brunch platter was so good I want to go back to try all the other dishes on the menu. I won’t recommend for big groups, but it’s the perfect setting for a date night or if you want to catch up with a friend.

Overpriced food that is not good. Given the price, I expected better food. Everything tasted like it was frozen and heated up with an oven. Nothing was fresh and some items were salty. Either there has been a change in management, chef, or the reviews are fake. I would not come back for the food. But if you are here just for wine, it may be bearable. The restaurant was also tight and cramped. There are better options around the neighborhood. I will not be back.

Save your money and don't bother coming here. I had the worst sangria of my life here. It was so watered down. They try to squeeze multiple parties onto the same table which is really annoying. The woman next to me was so drunk and she had her dog in the restaurant. How unhygienic!

Really delicious foods. Great chef and great servers
Very happy people, nice delicious food. Go there!
Walked in with no reservation but was seated quickly with no issues.
Beautiful decor, very intimate and romantically lit. Perfect spot to meet up with friends or to meet up for a date.
What's cool is they don't give you the traditional paper menus that restaurants/bars usually give you. They give you a small tablet with all the menus listed so you can scan through and you can save items to your wishlist (although you cannot order directly through the tablet). Someone still comes to take your order.
I started with their sparkling red sangria ($7 HH price). It was subpar. Quite bland for a sangria. It just tasted like there were missing ingredients. Next I ordered the white sangria ($7 HH price). It was definitely better than the red sparkling sangria.
We tried three appetizers off the happy hour menu: Fried calamari, ham croquettes and spinach croquettes. They were all quite tasty but the ham croquettes were the best.
Their tipping system is a bit off. They added the suggested gratuity amount to the full bill (food/drinks + tax) instead of adding the suggested gratuity amount to the subtotal. Tax is NOT supposed to be factored in when adding a tip to the bill. A pet peeve of mine so I adjusted it on my own.

This is a wonderful restaurant with delicious food! Our server, Marija, was fantastic and made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be back!

Whenever I see restaurants with thousands of Google reviews, five stars, and no comments, I genuinely think those reviews are fake.
After seeing the high ratings, I decided to give this restaurant a chance, but honestly, the risotto was disastrous, and the chicken was dry. I also found the portions relatively small.
Overall, I’m not pleased with my visit, so I’m giving three stars.

The ambiance was nice. It's a very small intimate place but the food was very good. I'd definitely recommend this for a date or girls night spot.

This place is definitely worth a visit. The food was excellent and expect moderate portion sizes. The space itself is small and it can get noisy especially with the loud music. Recommend making a reservation beforehand

Had the pleasure of dinning at Pil Pil last night. Such authentic Spanish cuisine. Delicious tapas, friendly staff and overall great ambiance. Probably one of the best culinary experiences I’ve had all year! 2025 is off to a great start when it comes to breaking bread with friends and family.
Vegetarian options: There’s a good number of vegetarian dishes. I had the spinach croquettes. Sooo good!
Kid-friendliness: There were a few families with young children. Calm music filled the air.
