Definitely not tapas and the food was nothing stellar. It seemed very pre-packaged and processed. The smoked salmon "crostini" had decent flavor but the bread was too thick, not toasted and cold enough to give the impression that it had been pre-assembled and left in a cooler. The flatbreads were okay. They were made on store bought flatbread and, though they had decent flavor, were nothing we couldn't have made at home. Not sure what the overarching hype over the "luscious sauce" is but it seems a bit over used on the menu. The kicker of the night was our waitress. She brought us menus and told us we were a day late for the half off bottles of wine. I overheard her explaining to another table, after we'd ordered, the sharing concept of the menu and advising how much they should order. Later in the meal she came over to fill our water glasses. Mine was pretty far over on the table, well out of her reach and past my wine glass. I started to move it closer for her convenience and she chastised me and told me she'd been at this for 20 years. Apparently not long enough to know how to talk to a well-meaning customer or to offer a towel to wipe up water poured all over the table and my phone. Next time we're in town, we'll be happy to go somewhere different!

We had such a wonderful experience in this hidden jem, and that is an understatement! The concept is something everyone needs to try! It's great for family and friends! The food was really, really good, and I am one with a lot of food restrictions, so to find such a place is even more exciting! The staff was friendly and professional. THIS PLACE IS A MUST!!Dietary restrictions: I am GF, no beef, pork.

I think a strong 4 perfectly fits this establishment. First things first, the ambiance is great. It's inside a residential home in the city and it has a very cool vibe. We were greeted and seated right away - we did have reservations and likely you will need them too because it's not the largest venue space, but that's part of its charm. Service was fast and friendly enough. I did not snag pictures of the food this time, but here's what we had. It is Tapas style, so we had a variety. The Chef's Braised Beef was alright. I found the beef to be too try for what the dish demands. I'd skip this. The Beef Wellington was great. I would get this again. The blue cheese with horseradish aioli was a great accompaniment to this classic dish. Well executed. The Honey Glazed Salmon was good, but not worth it for the price. There was perhaps 1oz. of salmon for $17.00....I get that it's tapas, but it was just way too small for the asking price...and it was farmed salmon. SKIP! The Smoked Salmon Pintxo was good. We received three pieces. While the salmon was sliced thin, the flavors reminded me of a bagel with lox, which is something I just haven't been able to find up here. I liked it. The Luscious Shrimp had good flavor, the shishito peppers were good. That's really about it, it was a good dish. Nothing special. The Apple/Bree Flatbread was far too sweet for my liking. The raspberry jam was just too sugary. SKIP. Butternut Squash Arancini - Excellent. I was really impressed with this dish and the amaretto cream sauce went very well with it. I wouldn't even have to think about it, I'd get this again. Mole Calamari Special - I could pass on this. The breading was soggy, but the calamari was cooked appropriately. It was not sliced though, the way you'd traditionally receive it at let's say an Italian restaurant. The mole just wasn't memorable. It actually reminded me more of a Japanese Curry than a mole. Lastly, we had the GF Chocolate Cake. It hit the spot and was very good. I also LOVED their house coffee blend. It reminded me of one of HEB's Texas blends. They had a lot of drink specials running at the time, which were nice. All in all a decent spot, very nice decor. This would be a good first date spot before going out to do something - you know, keeping it light, having a few drinks and engaging in conversation. Will I be back? Not my first choice, I'd rather try somewhere different, but if someone said "let's go here" I wouldn't argue.

Everything was delicious and waitress was super friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back again.
A Local Hidden Gem worth seeking out. Food is fresh, creative and tasty! Staff was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Their Bourbon list was worthy and if you live locally and have a passion for Bourbon, you should def. Join their Bourbon club. Totally worth it. Thanks for a great evening! ?
