Loved this restaurant; everyone friendly and accommodating. Food was delicious. Only one issue was that no one ever checked that we needed another glass of wine; we had to help ourselves and walk across the porch to fetch it from the ice bucket. Will return, & this was a tiny glitch (the wine recommendation was excellent)!

This is a great Spanish restaurant. Whether tapas or entrees, the food is fresh and well- prepared; portions generous enough to share or take home. Prices very reasonable. The staff is warm and attentive; service is excellent. Don't be put off by the "hole in the wall" exterior. There's a gem inside!
