    We tried about 7 tapas and each was equally delicious from the lamb chops to the short rib meatball to the chicharron de pollo. The drinks were delicious and not shy on the alcohol. Our service was amazing. We will be returning.

    The waiters were so sweet very attractive very kind. The small plates were fine nothing out of this world, but still good. The paella was honestly a little sad. The rice didn’t have any flavor to be honest.

    We went here for dinner at 5:30, so I it may not be true of a later crowded space, but the tapas & service were outstanding at that time. We can't wait to go back when the weather is better to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful views.
