    I don’t even know where to begin! The service was impeccable the whole staff from entering the restaurant through our dinner service was just top notch! Our sever was personable and very knowledge and helpful with the menu. The cocktails were delicious and expertly crafted. Every item we had was absolutely delicious and you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. They have a plethora of items and I will certainly be going back to try everything. Compliments to the owners and the team that runs the place!

    The waiters were so sweet very attractive very kind. The small plates were fine nothing out of this world, but still good. The paella was honestly a little sad. The rice didn’t have any flavor to be honest.

    We went here for dinner at 5:30, so I it may not be true of a later crowded space, but the tapas & service were outstanding at that time. We can't wait to go back when the weather is better to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful views.

    Overall I enjoyed my visit. But the drinks were water done and had large chunks of ice. Wish they had a few more food options. Definitely would return for a 2nd visit.
