   Had a reservation for valentines day and they couldn’t even seat us. They had a 30 minute long line for al parties with reservations, and when we got to the front I saw very few waiters going around to tables and not many people had their food. For that reason we decided to leave instead of committing to a bad dining experience. Ruined our valentines day dinner.

   Worst experience we ever had in any restaurant. The service was horrible. It took over an hour for someone to take a drink order. I had to get up several times asking for service to come. It took another 45 minutes to get our food. No one ever came to ask if we would like another drink. People around of us got up and left because they were there 1 1/2 hours and no one took their order. I asked for a manager several times without coming. I will NEVER go back. So disappointing.

   We went to bistro for Valentine’s Day, and it was the worst restaurant experience I have ever had. We should have been tipped off when the hostess didn’t take our name for the reservation and just brought us to a table (but said they were fully booked for the night). The restaurant was packed, and completely understaffed. In 2 hours we received a piece of bread and a round of (wrong) drinks. Many tables around us were in the same boat…some people got one appetizer, some got one meal, etc. one table had an appetizer put in front of them and the staff came and just moved it to another table. I know what they say about going out on Valentine’s Day, but this was pure mismanagement. We left when the table next to us asked a waiter where their food was and he said let’s just order it again. They were still sitting people while they couldn’t serve the people right in front of them. As we left there was a line of people and they were telling people they would sit them shortly. Don’t take reservations if you can’t feed people, and definitely don’t seat people if you can’t handle the ones in front of you. Not sure what happened here, but it was a disaster.

   When it’s a major holiday such as Valentines Day, proper staffing and attentiveness is required .. the wait for the original order took too long, the follow up was 20/30 minutes apart .. I had to walk to the bar to buy an additional drink because my waiter did not notice that both my water and my drink was empty.. I am a regular diner as it relates to visiting restaurants and I would never return here .. I also did not enjoy the food as much as I thought.. management didn’t visit tables to see how the experience was .. even bringing me the check took another 20 minutes .. Not a good experience at all …

   We had a great experience at this restaurant. I celebrated my husband’s 50th birthday with twenty people. Food was good, service was great. I will be celebrating many more events here in future .

   Even though it doesn’t look like much from the outside when you walk in you’re transported to this amazing Spanish/Mediterranean restaurant! Milton our server was attentive from the moment we were seated. We were a party of 8 with 4 different bills and Milton kept everything in perfect order. Everything we ordered came to the table exactly as ordered in a very timely manner. The drinks and wine were perfect, premium and priced better than you would expect for the quality. Milton was spot on with the wine suggestions. We started with amazing bread, butter & olive oil and a complimentary order of Cheese Croquets that were delish! Between the eight of us we had the DIVER SEA SCALLOPS, GRILLED LAMB RACK, SEAFOOD LINGUINE, SEAFOOD PAELLA and the special Veal Chop. All were generous portions perfectly cooked. The Paella and Seafood linguine were so loaded with seafood you’d expect to pay much more. The scallops were tender and cooked to perfection as well as the rack of lamb. The veal chop is a special treat and not on the standard menu.. We all finished with a kind complimentary flan with strawberries and caramel sauce that was the perfect ending to the perfect evening.

   OUTSTANDING! What a wonderful surprise! Met my good friend for dinner - we were looking for a restaurant in Milford, half way for both of us: we discovered a hidden gem! We had tapas, sangria and dessert. Everything was delicious! The sangria was not the standard full of ice and a little bit of sangria: it was a full glass, nice and cold, with fresh fruit at the bottom. The service was also exceptional. I’ve been telling all my friends and will definitely be back.

    We visited during Milford Restaurant Week to enjoy the lunch prix-fixe menu for $20 per person. However, we were initially offered the dinner prix-fixe menu for $45 and informed that the lunch option was unavailable on weekends. Fortunately, the server was very kind and agreed to serve us the lunch menu since this was not clearly advertised. The food was delicious, and the cocktails were good.
