Service was amazing. Tapas were sooo good! I don’t care for the Paella though I was excited for it but it was still okay. The Tapas were awesome! Especially the Salmon Ceviche, must try!!!

Food was poor and service was lacking, a really expensive bill for a fairly terrible night.

Server made excellent recommendations for both food and wine. Best dishes were the Moroccan sirloin (Pinxtos) and the fried eggplant. Also enjoyed the Garnacha wine.

At one point in the evening our waitress stopped returning to our table so we were not able to order more food or drinks. We even had to ask the bar staff to give us our check.

Food lacked flavor that is expected for tapas. Everything was pretty bland. Very disappointed for a birthday meal and Spanish tapas that is typically exploding with flavors, sauces that punch and takes you to Spain.

Delicious tapas, pintxos and paellas in a beautiful setting! Four of us came here to celebrate our mom’s birthday. We ordered an array of dishes to try - pan con tomate, Spanish tortilla, fritto misto, croquettes with jamon, fried artichoke, sirloin skewers, lamb chops, three types of paella - carne, mariscos, and negra. For dessert, we had basque cheesecake (which was graciously given to our mom for her birthday) and churros with chocolate. We loved all of the food, although the lamb chops needed salt or more seasoning. We had a wonderful bottle of Malbec to pair with the dishes. Our iced teas tasted a bit off but may have to do with the cinnamon after taste. Our server was ok but kept disappearing here and there. Overall, we would return here when we’re craving Spanish cuisine.

Disappointed in the food. Octopus was so chewy we had to spit it out. Paloma drinks were fantastic and bar service was excellent. Potato or cheese balls were ok.

We had a wonderful dinner here. The service was good and the food excellent. We sat outside because the weather was perfect but unfortunately the light-rail train went through several times and blasted their horn, so keep that in mind if you choose to sit outside. The restaurant is adjacent to the tracks. It’s not the fault of the restaurant, but it was very loud and disruptive. I recommend this restaurant.
