                            Amazing good and service, everything we tried was delicious! Bread basket was huge, olives the best ever, salmon tartar and bacon wrapped dates to die for!

                            As usual the sangria (we got the blood orange and the black cherry lavender lemonade ) was delicious!! We always get the bacon wrapped dates, spinach dip, calamari, truffle fries, and salmon tartar. Although it seems like they skimped out a bit with the salmon tartar (they usually serve a bit more) everything and our server was amazing.

                            The food and drinks were fantastic. The music was eclectic but too loud . The service was attentive however server disappeared to the kitchen for long periods.

                            We were disappointed. The hostess was rude, the table was way to small for a venue that features shareable plates, the service was lagging and the food was fair. Despite this, the place was packed. Perhaps our experience was unusual but I can neither recommend it nor do I anticipate returning.

                            The food (and the sangria) was delicious, and the portions were great. They had plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options. It was cozy and they were playing good music. All in all, it was delightful.

                            We’ve been coming here for many years and have seen the quality decline. We’ve also seen menu items changed, but I suppose that’s to be expected. I feel like some of the sauces on the foods are not homemade, and mayonnaise out of a squeeze bottle now passes for something fancier. I ordered albondigas yesterday and the meatballs were so hard that I couldn’t even break them with my fork. Our server was polite, but not very attentive in terms of pacing the food coming out. Typically we get meats and cheeses which come out first and they came out towards the middle. Not the worst thing in the world of course. It had been a while since we had been here because of these types of issues that make the very expensive prices not quite worth it. I don’t think we’ll be back.

                            We always enjoy going there. It just seems like the portions are getting smaller for the meat and cheese boards.
