We were running late due to traffic and messaged the place via open table. Manager Reka replied with “no problem”. Place was packed when we arrived. They couldn’t find our reservation at first, Reka came by and informed us that there was a system error and apologized for the wait and took care the seating quickly. It was our first time there, great vibe, beautiful restaurant. We informed the server we in a rush because Katseye concert is about to start, she took our order quickly and may I just say every dish we tried were delicious. Reka came by again to check on us and even gave us complimentary dessert which was amazing. Delicious food, wonderful service by manager Reka, we will definitely be back! And we made it to concert on time!

This was neat place tucked away off the street. It wasn't too crowded for a Friday night, but still made a reservation. The drinks were well made and tasted great! Everyone is friendly.

This was an incredible experience. Shoutout to Ismael who was a patient and wonderful staff member. My date and I had a long-anticipated 1st Date and he was very attentive, knew the menu from cover to cover. He knew exactly what drinks would be suitable and gave us time and space to allow our romance to take over naturally. We will never forget this experience and will 10/10 come back and 10/10 recommend!

    We had a fabulous experience. The waiters were very attentive and helped us with choosing tapas as this was my first time at a Spanish restaurant. The tapas were shareable for about 2 to 3 people a plate and there were many options. Squid ink risotto, ham and cheese fritters, gambas, pan con tomate were our favorites. While the tapas were amazing, dessert really was the shining star of the meal. Great ambiance and feels like I’m in a family run restaurant in Spain. We will be returning.
