Avoid. This review is about the wine tasting. For $145 per person: amuse-bouche (awful) and mini salad (delicious), duck (yum), lamb (tasteless with inedible dried out cottage fries), cheese bites, 4 wines, ~4h (1 tasting course per HOUR). They had 2 servers for 50-60 wine tasting guests and several other servers for other patrons. Added a third server later. There was a new born they were showing off like an Oscar because nothing spells wine tasting like a screaming infant and the smell of diapers. Parents of course are oblivious to the aggravation and since people tend to politely lie to them 'how cute' they think patrons actually enjoy the progeny's screams. Pro tip: no one does. In a bar. During wine tasting. In a restaurant, while trying to eat in peace. 5-10 more children were roaming around because why not aclimate them to alcohol early on. If that's your scene, enjoy. Sound system did not work so we could not hear a word the sommelier was saying and everyone was talking so loudly drowning any convo attempt. House manager and owners hugged their friends and seemed to talk to them mostly so if you're not family you're outside you see. If you don't want to be seated with strangers, you must tell them and cross your fingers. Servers had to be waived down, never smiled, and 3 hours in asked for the first time if we were okay or needed anything. Looked at us funny every time we said thank you. I would guess they don't get a lot of that. I don't know about pairing because wine and food never synchronized and we were always out of wine when food came and vv. White wines were ok, second white was quite nice, Red wines needed breathing to soften the tannins, they were smoky and rough, at least decant them! but no luck there. guava paste was from the can and tasted like metal. Spicy tomato jam was delicious but only one drop with one cheese bite in a loud room. Pass.

We had a great dining experience at this Spanish restaurant. The food was good, especially the paella, similar to the one we had in Spain. The drinks paired well with the food, and the place was well-lit with natural sunlight, making it inviting. The service was decent, and the restaurant was clean and well-maintained. However, the overall price felt a bit expensive for the portion sizes. Nonetheless, we were satisfied with our experience overall.Parking: Parking pass validation for discounted parking.

Sitting at the big picture window over looking the city, my childhood friend and I enjoyed a beautiful and tasty meal that tickled our taste buds. The cocktails were pretty and the food…!!! My favorite part of the meal was the Tres Leche Cake with the crème brûlée strawberries and cantaloupe. It was enough for four people to share! Good food, good people, and good cocktails makes a foodie happy!!

It sounds like you had a fantastic experience at the bar! Friendly service, tasty drinks, delicious appetizers, and an inviting atmosphere definitely make it worth recommending. It's always a good sign when a place leaves you wanting to come back for more!

Company Lunch. Tapas were ordered and I got the 3 course meal. Salad was salty and dressing had no taste. Ordered salmon for main course (came strangely covered with mushroom and had spinach on the side, why hide the salmon?). Also over salty (could feel the rock salts inside). Took the flan to go and it had no taste. Ate a few tapas and again not really impressed. Patatas bravas was soggy (a one must cannot fail dish in a tapas restaurant). Nothing stood of all the various tapas ordered. Surprised at the high rating, maybe a better happy hour experience (we were sober)

This was a return trip to one of our favorite restaurants. We were celebrating a birthday. The lunch special is an excellent value, the tuna salad sandwich is my standard lunch (I cannot help it -- I am addicted). The accompanying butternut squash soup was excellent. And they gave my friend a birthday dessert on-the-house. Her entree and salad looked wonderful and she was very happy. Thank you SER. We shall return again.

Great food and service. The Dover Sole for 2 was expertly deboned at our table. The Alto Moncayo Rose' was very refreshing, and the selection of wines by the glass was generous. The dining room is a bit noisy, so I picked a window table near the entrance, which turned out to be a bit chilly. The underground parking can be reached directly from the restaurant, but it is not obvious. The outdoor entrances to the parking lot are closed at night. Our waiter was gracious to show me how to access the parking lot from the building lobby. I will be back for another visit soon!
