We sat at the bar this trip,early dinner, and our server Patty was simply amazing. We tried a variety of tapa’s and summer cocktails, which did not fail. The atmosphere was enjoyable, and the restaurant itself, including bathrooms, were immaculate. I’ll return to try brunch because I haven’t since before COVID so way overdue.

Great place! Love their sister restaurant across the street too! Amazing food, we had the bacon wrapped dates (they changed our lives), squid ink rice with shrimp and calamari, short rib arancini, and the churros for dessert! Loved them all! Pair this with delicious drinks, I highly recommend the bobatini, and live music! Great date night place with fun vibe and great service! Can’t wait to go back.

Stylish, cozy and delicious spot. We’ve been here for dinner a few times and loved it (everything is so good). We stopped in for brunch and were impressed! Everything was super fresh and filling. Highly recommended!

Yummy in my tummy. Every single plate was amazing. The waitress was nice and attentive. We came in 15+ mins late to our reservation we had made just hours prior, yet we were still seated right away! Super good service. Gratuity included. Worth every penny.

Has a lot of variety of small plate options but the food is not that great. Ordered a small plate of potatoes, cauliflower and broccoli as a vegetarian option and pork ribs and meatballs. The only thing that was good were the potatoes. The cheese platter was okayish. They have a good dessert menu

To stroll in on New Years day and be seated immediately was surprising. Definitely a must go! Great service, friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere , nice cocktail assortment and savory food. I will be returning.

This is a very mediocre tapas. The service was decent, but both the food and the cocktail was okay. The garlic shrimp didn’t even have much garlic smell and was a bit bland. The sangria had too much alcohol than it should be. This may not be a problem for most people , but it is definitely a problem for me.
