Our service was disinterested and the side room we were seated in was uncomfortable and boring. We had a chorizo special, patatas brava and a Brussels sprouts special. The food was good, not great. They don’t serve coffee. I was very disappointed.

The food was excellent and was great value. Wished there had been a few more cocktail options. Seating is very tight at the bar, but great atmosphere and service!

The atmosphere and service were top-notch. However, the sangria was not very good and the food was just average. We will not be coming back.

Food was very good but the service was nonexistent as we were ignored once we got our food when we planned on ordering multiple rounds

Everything was great. Steak was amazing but the portion size was very small for the price. That’s all.

Loved the tapas and ambience here! Very small and charming space divided into 2 buildings. Recommend the cauliflower, steak, asparagus, and shrimp. They accommodated the baby stroller we had and gave us a corner booth seat, service was fantastic. Good for casual group meetups!

Had lunch there for the first time. We will definitely be back. The tapas were plentiful to share and absolutely delicious. The shrimp in garlic sauce was superb. Our server was very helpful in deciding what to choose
