   Most food was tasty. Drink was good. Spanish seafood with rice was too salty.

   Hi Kenny, We appreciate your feedback and support! It's wonderful to know that you found most of the food and drinks enjoyable. However, it’s unfortunate that the Spanish seafood with rice was too salty for your liking. Your insights are valuable, and we will take them into account for future improvements. Leticia Tischina, General Manager

   This place truly wows you the moment you step inside. The food, drinks, and atmosphere were nothing short of exceptional. We started with an espresso martini and white sangria, both of which were outstanding. For food, we couldn’t resist trying the brunch paella (definitely order it early—it takes some time) along with the mushrooms and ham croquettes, which were absolutely delicious. While those dishes alone would be enough to make us want to return, there’s so much more to explore here. The only minor disappointment was that, despite noting my husband’s birthday in the reservation, there wasn’t any special acknowledgment of the occasion.

   Paella , Brussels sprouts, salads, meatballs and pork dish - everything was delicious. I went late around 1:15pm and pre- ordered paella (they will only do it if it’s not peak time) and everything was so fast. I loved it. I went two days in a row and proved to my friends that this place is good. Don’t get the fix menu, ask the waiter or waitress what’s popular from the original list and get that!

   I was disappointed with the overall service. Our drinks took a long time to come out and at one point there was no one behind the bar making drinks. The method to split the bill was convenient in theory but the cell service was bad and it meant one more thing the customer was required to do. Also, I had tried to be conscious of our lateness for our reservation by calling and communicating so they could give up our tables if needed. I still got marked as a no show even though we actually came in a little past our reservation time and the place was relatively dead and they were able to sit our party of 10 right away and just asked that we get them the table back by 6:15. We were out well before that because we just had the one round of drinks

   Service, and ambience was nice but the food was average. Not sure I’d go back.

   We ordered paella immediately upon sitting, as our waiter advised it would take 40 minutes. However, it arrived after 90 minutes, with other dishes taking 30 minutes each. Despite the delicious food (bit too salty) and friendly service, the extended wait times left us disappointed with the overall experience.
