    We had such a wonderful dinner here on Saturday night! The three of us shared several tapas, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. You can really tell they take pride in using fresh, quality ingredients rather than relying on frozen or pre-prepared food. The owners, Michael and Eva, were incredibly warm and attentive and made us feel so welcome. They even brought us some complimentary hummus to try, which was a lovely touch — and delicious! The whole evening was relaxed, friendly and memorable. We ate extremely well, had a great time, and were pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the prices were for the quality of the food and experience. A real gem of a restaurant. We would absolutely come back and highly recommend it!

    Cocktails were delicious, food for the most part was great. The chicken was the weakest dish, green hummus was the best. Great St place for groups.

    Very nice place, pleasant, though slow,service. Food was tasty but very oily. Even the salad we ordered to cut through the richness was oily. Spanish food Americanized for higher calorie/oil content. Desserts were good.

    Everything was excellent. We ordered the Caesar salad, meatballs, french fries, short rib tacos and the sea bass. We loved everything we ate. The ambience is nice - very pretty inside and outside on the patio, and it's pretty quiet. All in all a great experience.
