   Outstanding food in an atmospheric setting beside the fireplace. Live music wafting in from the poolside patio. Shared appetizers: chicken, croquettes, patatas bravas. Spanish wine. Daniel our server was attentive and helpful. A hidden gem. Will come back.

   Authentic Spanish food. Great service and great food. DOrdered a lot of Tapas items, as Paella takes 40 minutes, which tells me this is authentic and fresh!

   The ambiance varies depending on where you are seated. Outside is nice, inside has two dining rooms of which one has great ambiance with décor, a fireplace, etc, the other is much less inviting. The service was great, our server was knowledgeable, gave us just the right amount of attention, and even gave us the history of the building. The food was variable. The seafood paella has excellent quality seafood. Some reviewers have mentioned the amount of seafood being sparse, but we would gladly trade off a little less quantity for great quality. The rice was crisped on the sides, but not on the bottom, so not truly authentic. The empanada are about 80% corn masa, 20% filling, which is very sparse on the filling. Also, this makes them a very heavy entrée without a ton of taste. We would not order these again.

   The restaurant unexpectedly had to close but failed to notify those with reservations through Open Table.

   First time to this restaurant, went mainly to see the Sam Fazio trio, they were excellent. Music was most enjoyable , not too loud so conversation during dinner was possible. We sat outside, heaters are available. Cocktails were yummy. Started with calamari very lightly fried, aioli was tasty. Spanish salad was flavorful. Thoroughly enjoyed the seafood paella! Give it a try!

   From the decor to the excellent transnational Spanish Tapas and Paellas i give it a 9 out of 10. We had 9 different tapas, and an issue with only one and that was more our taste that the restaurants fault but they promptly took it off the check. The Paella was traditional and delicious only the shrimp was a tad over cooked, add them to the dish a little later in the cooking process would be perfection. A great wine list very well priced, great service and ambiance adds up too a WE WILL BE BACK,,,,,actually already booked for an upcoming family event
