Food was great. Server made my group feel pushed out in the sense that we needed to vacate our table. One of our guests meals didn't come out until some of our group had already paid for their meals. Recommend improved training for servers responsible for tables consisting of more than 6 guests. Makes for a poor experience. Cost of food is expensive here. The service should match the level of cost that the patron is paying for the experience.

Probably the best tapas we've had in Charlotte. Didn't try the paella but next time we will. Good drinks, good service. A little loud but all restaurants are now it seems. Decor is very much like Spainish restaurants - my wife just cane back from a trip to Spain. Will be going again!
