    What a wonderful, beautiful restaurant and the food was absolutely amazing. The lamb collar was one of the best dishes I’ve had in life. Loved everything about it.

    Beautiful restaurant, food was good, original wine I ordered was not available, bartender tried to recommend a more expensive bottle, when asked for food recommendations, everything pointed out were the highest price point, was a bit annoyed as I told him we wanted to share tapas and keep the wine in the price point I had originally ordered. Otherwise, food was fine and service was very attentive.

    Very nice place with a. Nice vibe food was good but first floor is a bit overcrowded and the lack of windows makes it very tight

    Very interesting selection of tapas (plus regular entrees), all goodexcellent. Tapas portions often for only 1-2 persons Note no prices in online menu and fairly expensive. Also noisy (Saturday night). Would like to go back on quieter evening.

    First the positive; the decor is beautiful and our server was charming and attentive. Now the negative; after reading the rave reviews we were looking forward to a great dinner. For appetizers we had the mussels which were ok but the broth was okay too sweet. I told my husband we should have ordered them for dessert! We also had the patatas bravas, which were very disappointing - small and greasy. I’ve had much better at less expensive restaurants. My husband’s fish tacos were okay, but my seafood paella was terrible; mostly rice, extremely salty, and none of the crisp edges that paella should have. There was very little seafood in it. After I ate the seafood I had a pan full of tomatoey rice. We took it home and crisped it up and put a fried egg on top, for lunch. Still too salty. When our server (who I really liked) asked how everything was, I was about to tell him but he rushed off before I could say anything. The crème brûlée was very good; the basque cheesecake had a nice texture but was barely sweet - almost salty. I took most of it home and made a raspberry sauce to pour over it. This improved it greatly. The other negative was the noise level. Unless you like dining in a really loud room, I recommend reserving a table on the second floor. It’s beautiful up there and CALM. Our bill came to $170, without having had drinks.

    Very good food which with a few tweaks could be excellent. We ate a bunch of dishes. A few that could be improved. The tuna tartar was good but came with 5 potato chips!?!?. I’d put more on the plate so you loads run out with half a portion of tarter left. The cheese plate comes with no bread or chips to put the cheese on. And the shrimp dish which was not inexpensive came with 4 shrimp total. They need to adjust that to at least 6-8.
