    Here are the positives: Attentive staff Delicious food Nice dish selections and unique selection of traditional Spanish desserts, hard to find outside of Spain Must Order: Iberico Ham Croquettes, octopus, skirt steak, Basque cheesecake. Food was truly impeccable. Here are the negatives: -No freedom to sit where you pick, even when you are the only party at the restaurant like it was our case. We had reservations at 4pm, no other table was occupied yet we could not pick the party of 4 table of our choice. As we were leaving(we were the only customers at the restaurant the entire time we were there) another party of 4 walked in, they also weren't allowed to pick the table they wanted to sit at. - They have the audacity to pre charge 20% gratuity and then ask for additional tipping besides the 20%. Tipping should not be enforced, and it sure should not be automatically added to a party of two adult two kids' table. this is NOT a reflection on our waitress, she was nice and attentive and she would have received a 20% tip regardless, with food as delicious as they have and staff as attentive as they have there is zero need to pre charge tip on the bill. That is something that will come naturally because they have good food and service. Overall restaurant is pleasant, food is authentic and well prepared, staff is nice and helpful. Just let me sit where I want, and leave the tip up to the customer like they are supposed to.
