    Service was amazing. Tapas were sooo good! I don’t care for the Paella though I was excited for it but it was still okay. The Tapas were awesome! Especially the Salmon Ceviche, must try!!!

    Food was poor and service was lacking, a really expensive bill for a fairly terrible night.

    Server made excellent recommendations for both food and wine. Best dishes were the Moroccan sirloin (Pinxtos) and the fried eggplant. Also enjoyed the Garnacha wine.

    At one point in the evening our waitress stopped returning to our table so we were not able to order more food or drinks. We even had to ask the bar staff to give us our check.
