    A coworker recommended Lil’ Ba-Ba-Reeba and Restaurant Week seemed like the perfect time to try it out. It was so good - sangria is the best in the city. And the food was delicious! I’ll definitely be going back to try the full menu.

    Delicious spot! I’ve been here multiple times, especially for their happy hour. Their happy hour is such a good deal. Don’t miss out on the chorizo-wrapped dates!

    Dining here on a snowy Sunday evening with good friends was delightful. The food and wine are always authentic and good here. The waiter was attentive without being intrusive and let us take our time. Really fun place to meet friends.

    Very good ambiance. Service was excellent. Food was mostly great, but a few tapas were on the salty-end. All in all, had a great experience and would go again.
