Really good. When we arrived it was on the hotel. I was like Nah that is Captive audience. But to my surprise it is on the 9th floor with summer views of amazing Chicago. Service was good and food was good. Mezcal old fashion, mushroom croquettes and marrow bone ( OMG) were our favorites

My boyfriend is Spanish & we’ve tried to find the best Spanish cuisine in the US and this wins so far 100%. The food quality is amazing, croquetas de seta & alcochofas are amazing. A bit fancy so smallish plates but so worth it. Absolutley great place for a date. I would definitely go back.

Our food was great. Our server who was a bartender was really attentive and helpful, she helped with drinks and food menu. But the hostess and what looked like a manager seemed to be extremely unpleasant. I do t believe I’d be back.

A beautiful evening in this beautiful restaurant. A little glitch that we were seated in the bar but Chastity our server made it an excellent experience. She was attentive and fun with excellent suggestions. My husband said every dish has its own flavor and so delicious. The short rib, bacon wrapped dates, the Burrata with melon(more melon please) Queso de Cabra, and scallop we’re all exceptional. We look forward to coming from Iowa again for a great time!

My girlfriend and I were celebrating our anniversary and they left a handwritten note on our table with star confetti wishing us a happy anniversary. The drinks were stellar especially the honey nut old fashioned. The Tapas were delicious and left me wanting more. Ambiance and staff was phenomenal will be back!

Really nice views from every table since the restaurant is on the ninth floor of the Meridian Hotel and there are floor to ceiling windows in the place. Tapas were all tasty and the paella had some nice crust on the bottom layer.

Recently went here on a night out with the girlfriend. We really like Tapas and wanted to try a new place closer to home. This restaurant is located on the 9th floor of a hotel which we thought was kind of cool. The signature cocktails are good although a bit expensive. We usually share a pitcher of sangria with tapas but passed as the price is $45.

My partner and I stopped by for a tapas dinner. We had just got into town, were starving, and picked the first place that sounded good. There was one server for the whole floor, and she did good, given the ratio, but the wait was still long. The frustrating part was that there were two people standing behind the bar talking, doing nothing.

I like the design of the restaurant, because it looks like a gallery, the furniture is new and modern.

Very swanky and cute. Interesting menu with appropriate prices. I visited because I saw the owner clap back at a racist reviewer and wanted to support the establishment. I’m so glad I did!
