One of those Medford locations that pitches some class and creates a more cultured atmosphere. We ordered multiple starters under happy-hour pricing, I could have been more impressed - while advertised as elevated sides, there was still more to be desired for flavor profiles and portions (even for tapas). I ordered the flat iron steak (pictured), listed under ‘Large’ plates… This was a medium portion at best, I would estimate at roughly 6 to 8 oz. While cooked to order, at the quantity and price listed, I would not order again. Service was on point, the staff were very accommodating and energetic.

Just brilliant, every bit of it. Believe the hype! My only issue was the price, and only re; a shot of the stuff on the "top shelf", so ask ahead of ordering. It has been very consistent over the years. Friendly, innovative and clever, this is the best bar in Medford.

This place is a real gem! I absolutely fell in love with the service and atmosphere, Matt is a "world-class" bartender. The menu has anything you could ever imagine! The food is not only delicious, but clever a d eclectic...the regulars made me want to be a part of their vibe! It will now be my go-to during my regular monthly travels. Try the ceviche, the shrimp, and don't sleep on the croquetteas!

Yeah- vibe and service were decent. Food was disappointing. $16 for one sprig of broccolini? Special tomato/cucumber salad was fresh but bland. Mahi poppers ok, bacon wrapped dates mid, and steak? Inedible. Asked for medium, got rare and it tasted fowl. Bar drinks might have been nice but beer is from a can. Another swing and a miss for downtown Meh-ford.

Food was okay. Not sure it lived to the hype though from other reviews. Sauce in Shrimp was good. Not sure I would describe this as a Spanish restaurant though. 3 star because it’s Medford and a little unique in that way.

Rock solid tapas joint with a good mixed drink selection and excellent wiskeys. The mark ups feel a tad excessive given the space. Staff was very accommodating. If you have some extra money to burn and want something different, they are worthy of your time and patronage.

Wouldn’t recommend the most disappointing food experience I had in Medford and overpriced! The pictures originally is not what you will receive the menu is different as well.As a partially Spanish having lived in Spain this IS NOT SPANISH TAPAS but over priced food that tasted awful. I would suggest your better off at in and out.Ordered: 2 beet salads about $15-18 each. It was a wet salad with cucumber and grapefruit THERE WAS NO ROASTED BEED SALAD- It was chopped chunks of beets on arugula - no raisins no cauliflower not as the menu here states. Hardly any cheese the salad was watery and the worst beet “salad” I had. When I asked the waiter he said the menu and chef keep changing.Ordered the waiter’s reccomendation STEAK CANALES: cold meat on arugula mayo and toasted bread…the chimmichuri on top tasted like SALAD DRESSING from a bottle. $18 HAD TO RETURN IT WAS SO AWFUL.Mushrooms: not worth the price but were ok to get down.Ambiance: I felt like I was in a dark cave not a fine dining experience, felt that it was a bar cold, cheap looking and unwelcoming.Waste of money and this was for Mother’s Day unfortunately I subjected my mother to this place based off of old reviews and old ownership or old chef. Not sure who would ever come here.I wish I could get my money backPro: a nice waiter and only reason I gave 1 star l, truth is it deserves none. Instead a business should take pride in their food, appearance, etc but this place seemed to lack love, passion, quality, or pride in serving a quality experience

We shared a bit of everything. Crusted fish, potatoes, 2 salads among them. Excellent. Reminds me of Plumb, my favorite place in Portland.
The quality of the food dishes and wait staff has declined terribly over the past 2 years. We dined in there last night and had a horrible experience. Portions have been reduced noticeably. The Prawns were not cooked at all. And in the end, the server incorrectly billed our card by placing 2 other patrons' bills on our card and incorrectly billing for our meal. Incompetent. Careless. Never again.

Prices are outrageous. Ordered cerviche, and it arrived on a plate. Looked at my plate and my $18.00 meal that was 3 teaspoons spread over 3 tortilla chips. So much for dinner.

Crowded, very busy, only one server who was overwhelmed and forgot some items which was frustrating but all that was mitigated by how delicious most of the food was.

Food was generally tasty but disappointing. Nothing like Spain or Spanish tapas. They do not understand the culture of tapas whatsoever. Portions are small (normal for tapas) but prices are for full entrees. Octopus was extremely overcooked, like chewing gum. Sangria was terrible (cinnamon... Really??). Churros were soft. Atmosphere was tragic. Minimal decor, elevator music. Funeral vibes.
