My family has tried several different restaurants for Christmas brunch in the past few years. This is by far the best experience we have had. The food was amazing, the wait staff were incredible and the view (had a window table) was perfect !! The price was amazing as well - especially for the quality. I would highly recommend this place.

The small plates are entirely original, owing more to Asian and other fusion than to Spanish tapas. The cocktails were original and enhanced the meal. Ambience was great
