    Service was good. Our waiter was attentive. Overall the food combinations didn’t make sense. Everything needed salt, and generally we aren’t heavy salt folks. We had tomato carpaccio with tuna, very little tuna and needed salt. We had a chicken parmigiana type dish, that had this truffle like cream cheese with a poured gravy on top, the flavors didn’t work together and needed salt. I’d just say, less show and more attention to food would go far in this nice space.

    We had 3 tapas and shared the Paella Mixta. Too much food for 2 women. The specialty red wine was fantastic!

    Some of the dishes were good like the patatas bravas and the croquetas but others were disappointing like the shrimp and the pan con tomate. Service started out great then was incredibly slow. I’m not a fan that a 20% tip is added by default even for just a table of 3 people. If servers aren’t making a livable wage perhaps the owner should pay them more.

    We enjoy the food from this restaurant. However, the service was not very good which brought up conversation during the meal. Sometimes service is good but we have experienced a few times within the last year which the the service was poor. There is an automatic 20% gratuity required (regardless of size of party) I think makes it so the wait staff seem to have become lax. The seating had very limited space. We were at a 2 top by the bar and the table portion is mounted to the wall. The seating was VERY cramped and we observed others having issues with the space when all the tables were occupied.

    The food and beverage were amazing. I had a gin and tonic because I was at a Spanish restaurant and it was very good.  the tapas and paella all had, very strong and unique flavors. The service was excellent and I can’t recommend this place enough.
