Never had a bad experience here. It's a cozy atmosphere with great tapas. Never disappoints so much so we hosted a luncheon for over 30 people. Paulina, Porsha and the entire team made sure all my guests were taken care of and our day was a memorable one.

Been coming here for 10 years and it’s still as exceptional as always. This restaurant is prefect, and the only thing that could make it more perfect is even better prices for us! Seriously we always LOVE it because it’s always so excellent as far as execution, flavors, service, atmosphere.

We had a wonderful dining experience here! The host (and I think owner) is charming and very, very funny. The food was delicious - every bite!! Drinks were delivered quickly, service was outstanding and not rushed. We were the first in the dining room last night but even when full, you could still have a conversation. Acoustics matter, and they got it right. Also very cozy! We will be back again and again!

We went on a Saturday afternoon and the service was great and friendly. They did a nice job with the seafood dishes we had and the blueberry flan was fantastic!

As someone who has lived in Spain for years this place makes you feel like you are in Spain. Their sangria tastes exactly like the one in Spain and their paella is delicious too. Their french desert was delicious and light. Would recommend for a date or a special occasion.

The food is very good and the service is amazing. We've been there a few times with my work colleagues and we always have a very nice experience.
