    Fabulous tapas food and wide variety of choices on the menu. Very personable bartender who serviced us well despite a busy evening. While we had a table reservation, the restaurant was not able to accommodate us at a table, but could at the bar. Despite the confusion around where we would be seated, a good experience with very good food.

    Read the reviews and can't believe people liked it so much. Not authentic. Overpriced. They catered to customers they knew and the service was not great. Really didn't do anything to make my mother's 96th birthday special except write happy birthday on the dessert they charged us $8.00 for. Really disappointing - would not go there again.

    A remarkably good restaurant, great food and presentation, excellent service. Went with friends who are well-travelled and they loved it. Enjoyed the paella, salmon, rib eye steak, and at the delicious radish and fruit salad. I have always been impressed by the food and the experience. Will definitely come again.
