We had apps and drinks before a show. Our waitress was very good with her suggestions and giving us information about the pace of how the tapas would come out. We will definitely go back

After booking on Open Table, from the moment I called and spoke with Riley to move our reservation up an hour, to the our wonderful experience having Bernardo wait on us, everything and everyone was done with exemplary service. They even put a spicy sauce on the side knowing my food preferences without having to ask! A definite stop before the theater for us in the future!
