Very pleasant experience! Great food, small portions, delicious and affordable too. Background music that allows you to have a coherent conversation with your friends.

Paella was so bad. Unfortunate as had to pay $80 for something we couldn’t eat.Mushroom croquetas were great!Bread pudding was terrible.Service was very attentive but in need of propper training.

Not a typical restaurant menu if you’re not familiar with Spanish food. Portions are on the smaller side but food is very well made and delicious.

Eager to return to this place to explore more of their offerings. The servers were friendly, and the ambiance was welcoming. Before ordering the paella, we were informed that it would take 30 minutes to prepare, ensuring we were fully aware of the timing. Additionally, the drinks were delightful, adding to the overall enjoyable experience.

I love the food and atmosphere here. Very consistent and quality food. Suitable for friends and family gatherings.
This was my third attempt at dining at this restaurant, and I'm thoroughly disappointed and won't be returning. We waited for 25 minutes without any server coming to us. There was no water, no check-in, and no eye contact from the staff, who weren't even busy but engaged in conversation near the bar. When we finally stood up to address the issue at the front desk, the person they sent over claimed he wasn't our server. When we asked who our server was, he didn't know. The chaotic management surprised us, and to top it off, the food was TERRIBLY.

Excellent food, Excellent service. First time experience and I loved the restaurant.
Food was either overcooked, or raw. They brought the wrong beer, and in general was not a very good dining experience. I had high hopes, but those were quickly dashed.

It’s rare that you have a customer service experience that completely turns you off, but here we are! I’ve come here before and really enjoyed the food- my coworkers brought me here on Saturday night for a pre wedding celebration, which was a surprise and very sweet of them. When making the reservation and also checking in, we were not told there’s apparently a 90min time limit for the table. As this is a common practice I wouldn’t have been surprised, but I’ve also never run into it being addressed this way before. After 2 hours the manager came up to us, brusque and rude, saying “we have a 90min policy and people have been waiting for your table for a while now so you have ten minutes left”. Mind you, we had just ordered dessert, and were shocked by this. When I said we just ordered dessert, this incredibly rude person just went “well” and raised her eyebrows. So we canceled our dessert order, got our check and went on our way. It’s an interesting business practice to not tell paying customers about your policy and then kick them out. Congrats on losing our business forever! This place is busy so I doubt they’ll care, nor will they care that this ruined an otherwise delicious celebratory meal. The other point is that we would NOT have been there for two hours if the waiter wasn’t so overbooked that he had no chance to check on us after the food was dropped, we didn’t even see him to ask for more water until right before we were asked to get out, and we would’ve definitely liked to order dessert 45min prior. But such is life, and living in Bellevue I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by the pretentious nature of management. Unappealing, and distasteful. Luckily the food was really good, but if you go here, be prepared to be talked down to by a manager for rules you didn’t know were in place!

Great place for food and conversation. Warn and cozy atmosphere. They’re able to recreate that Spanish vibe. Service was friendly. The best tapas we tried on the menu was the grilled octopus and calamari appetizer. The pear, arugula, blue cheese, and walnut flatbread was also a winner. Will definitely be back to try more dishes.Parking: Bellevue square parking. Free at certain areas and free at night
This is the second time we come here and we got treated both time very bad.This time we come very early ask for a table. the host say 10 mins and we sit you. We tell them that we have 2 small kids and they say not to worryAfter 20 minutes nobody coming. we go ask again and very rude host say “you have to wait 20 more minutes or more we are full”And even after explaining we have been waiting for longer than anyone.“There has been a miscommunication nothing I can do”

So, we waited a good 15-20 minutes just to get our orders in. And when the food finally showed up, only two meals came out, leaving us wondering about our appetizers and the rest of our order. And let me tell you, when those tiny portions hit the table, we were seriously let down. The servings were so small, hardly filling up the plate. It felt like they were serving appetizers as main dishes! To make things worse, the first appetizer showed up at the same time as the third meal. Talk about a mess! We told the waiter about it, but all we got was a five-minute wait for the fourth meal and still no sign of our appetizers. I mean, come on, it's Restaurant 101: appetizers first, then the main course, and they should come out together! One person ended up eating solo while the rest of us just watched. And don't even get me started on the lukewarm food and coffee. Speaking of which, it was strange that they brought out coffee without any dessert, and just as we finished it 10 minutes later, those tiny flans appeared! It's unbelievable how they don't understand that dessert and coffee go hand in hand. When you order both, they should come together. While the flavors were okay, the whole experience was a mess with the chaotic service and those tiny portion sizes left us hungry. Props to the waiter for saying sorry and not charging us for the coffee, but honestly, after that, we're not keen on going back anytime soon.

If you're visiting the restaurant during busy hours, it's better to reserve a table beforehand.The lady in charge of seating was friendly, and the waiter was kind and offered suggestions since it was our first time.The wild mushroom croquettes were delicious, and we enjoyed the caramel apple pecan flatbread for its unique, mildly sweet flavor.Regarding the roasted cauliflower, I expected it to be served in fry form with a dip, but instead, cauliflower was served with a dip alongside of crackers kind of a dish. It was tasty, but the name was confusing.The artichoke fritters were sour and slightly burntthe vanilla flan dessert was good
Good vegetarian options. Artichoke dip was amazing.

This would've been a 5 star review, but the shrimp in the paella were not cleaned and still had their digestive tracts, which really ruined it for me. Yuck! Other than that, loved the lamb chops, the little chorizo sausages were delicious, the charcuterie had a great selection and, of course, the cava was chilled and perfect. Except for that shrimp, we had a lovely time.
