The food was excellent and was great value. Wished there had been a few more cocktail options. Seating is very tight at the bar, but great atmosphere and service!

The atmosphere and service were top-notch. However, the sangria was not very good and the food was just average. We will not be coming back.

Food was very good but the service was nonexistent as we were ignored once we got our food when we planned on ordering multiple rounds

Everything was great. Steak was amazing but the portion size was very small for the price. That’s all.

Loved the tapas and ambience here! Very small and charming space divided into 2 buildings. Recommend the cauliflower, steak, asparagus, and shrimp. They accommodated the baby stroller we had and gave us a corner booth seat, service was fantastic. Good for casual group meetups!

Great food, though felt rushed. We had a reservation for 7pm, but a larger party was reserved for part of the table we were seated at for 8:15pm. We were told this as we just sat down, and it felt like a little rude to be rushed out before we could even look at the menu. Even if we wanted to order dessert, we felt we couldn’t.
