Lovely service and lovely food. It’s hard to read the menu and know what your food will be like so make sure to ask the server for descriptions if you’ve got picky eaters in your party.

One of our go to places. Today was the first time for lunch and the first time indoors. Service and food have always been exceptional. Love being able to get just a few appetizers or a full meal with paella. Keep trying different things and haven’t been disappointed.
