When we entered and the entrance door was open and the room was freezing. Had to request closing the door and adding heat. Very uninviting atmosphere. Needs a decorator! Waiter says they kept the door open so people know they’re open. I think the lighting is poor and cold atmosphere. Needs help.

We had a surprise birthday celebration for my husband's 79th birthday last evening, just our family including 3 grandsons 8, 10 and 10. We sat outside to make it possible for me to hear with my hearing challenges, which worked pretty well, and the whole experience was all we might have hoped for! Yummy and interesting food, beautifully presented. Sharing tappas was a fun way to eat together. Warm, friendly and attentive (but not intrusive) service. We're very happy with the whole experience.

Elevated food beyond what you expect with normal tapas. All dishes were interesting and delicious. Great service, too. It seemed less busy on a Sunday evening than some of the restaurants around us. If you've passed this place up, you are missing out.
