   Tapas and entrees were basically the same size. Gratuity is included and well above the quality of service. Entrees took 50 min+ and were staggered. Waitress at one point was avoiding our table. The floor manager walked around but not once checked on us. Very expensive . The ambiance is beautiful but incredibly loud. Will not return.

   I really love tapas and wanted to like this place. The restaurant itself is very nice and our waiter was helpful and friendly. We ordered the following: Tuna tacos - probably the best dish, the tuna was fresh on a bed of avocado with crisp taco shell Crab croquettes - crispy on outside with creamy crab. My complaint is all the sauces/toppings tasted the same. Empanadas - cute plating on skewers but the filling was too dry. The same sauce as above was on the side. Cali-flower - same sauce and the veggies could have been cooked about a minute more, too Al dente Paella bomb - cute presentation with a syringe to infuse into the paella square filled with rice and crisp outer shell. The whole item was too dry.

   While it’s a cute place with great views and lighting the menu is a bit limited. Especially for those who don’t eat seafood. Some more options would’ve been appreciated.

   Beautiful restaurant. It's a bit noisy but that shouldn't deter you. The food is excellent and we are loving the new location in Long Beach.

   Wine: they were out of the first two bottles that we requested from the wine list. Apparently there is a new bar manager. That doesn’t really explain why the wine list wouldn’t be maintained better. Food: half of the dishes we got we’re good, but not really great. The other half were just barely OK, but definitely wouldn’t order again. Ambiance: it wasn’t that crowded, but they felt the need to see other tables right next to each other instead of giving everyone a little space to be able to enjoy their evening.  instead it was hard to have a private conversation because the restaurant wasn’t that crowded so really all you heard was the table next to you. Service: service was good. You could tell the server was frustrated with the wine menu. He tried to make things right.

   Nice location, Justin provided great service. Food was fair at best, we ordered crab croquettes; very tasty. Pan con tomate; ok. Kebab skewers; no flavor and empanadas... horrible, the chicken texture was like paste. The drinks were good. However, charging your guest and an extra $3.00 on a $17.00 old fashion with no explanation is not cool. Still do not know why. The worst part was the forced service charge of 20%. It's my fault for not reading the small print better. #1 reason we won't be returning. It should not be the guest responsibility to provide an "equitable" wage to your employees.

   Hola Gabriella, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're sorry to hear that not everything met your expectations. We're glad to hear that Justin provided great service and that you enjoyed some of the dishes and drinks. Regarding the $3 charge, we do offer the option to customize certain cocktails, and this extra cost was due to the choice of alcohol and the customization made to the drink. We should have communicated this more clearly, and we apologize for any confusion. As for the service charge, it is included to ensure fair wages for all team members, and we completely understand that it’s a topic of concern. We will definitely take your feedback into consideration to improve our communication going forward and we hope to see you again soon! Gracias!

    The food is decent, but it doesn’t quite live up to expectations. Compared to what you’d get in Spain, it feels significantly overpriced—but given that it’s in Long Beach, I suppose a premium is to be expected.

    Hola Karl, Thank you for your feedback! We're sorry to hear that we didn't quite meet your expectations. We understand that dining outside of Spain can sometimes create high expectations, especially when it comes to authenticity. We do our best to offer an experience that is as close to the original as possible while adapting to the local context. We also understand that pricing can be a factor, and we work hard to ensure that the quality of our ingredients and service is worth the value. We appreciate your thoughts and hope to welcome you back soon to try more dishes! Gracias!
