   Very nice place with a. Nice vibe food was good but first floor is a bit overcrowded and the lack of windows makes it very tight

   Brianne and Mark are the epitome of a wonderful team, hostess and chef. From the valet to the bartender to the waiters (no waitresses?? ) food was amazing, drinks yummy and atmosphere on point . Can’t wait to bring more friends

   Very interesting selection of tapas (plus regular entrees), all goodexcellent. Tapas portions often for only 1-2 persons Note no prices in online menu and fairly expensive. Also noisy (Saturday night). Would like to go back on quieter evening.

   First the positive; the decor is beautiful and our server was charming and attentive. Now the negative; after reading the rave reviews we were looking forward to a great dinner. For appetizers we had the mussels which were ok but the broth was okay too sweet. I told my husband we should have ordered them for dessert! We also had the patatas bravas, which were very disappointing - small and greasy. I’ve had much better at less expensive restaurants. My husband’s fish tacos were okay, but my seafood paella was terrible; mostly rice, extremely salty, and none of the crisp edges that paella should have. There was very little seafood in it. After I ate the seafood I had a pan full of tomatoey rice. We took it home and crisped it up and put a fried egg on top, for lunch. Still too salty. When our server (who I really liked) asked how everything was, I was about to tell him but he rushed off before I could say anything. The crème brûlée was very good; the basque cheesecake had a nice texture but was barely sweet - almost salty. I took most of it home and made a raspberry sauce to pour over it. This improved it greatly. The other negative was the noise level. Unless you like dining in a really loud room, I recommend reserving a table on the second floor. It’s beautiful up there and CALM. Our bill came to $170, without having had drinks.

   Very good food which with a few tweaks could be excellent. We ate a bunch of dishes. A few that could be improved. The tuna tartar was good but came with 5 potato chips!?!?. I’d put more on the plate so you loads run out with half a portion of tarter left. The cheese plate comes with no bread or chips to put the cheese on. And the shrimp dish which was not inexpensive came with 4 shrimp total. They need to adjust that to at least 6-8.

   Very nice atmosphere and great service. Some dishes were better than others. We enjoyed the pulpo, the Brussels sprouts and the chocolate lava cake. The paella, the strip steak and some of the other tapas were just ok. We had a nice night out but overall way too expensive for the quality of food.

   My biggest complain is the paella, it wasn’t cooked properly. The rice was hard and grainy. The steak was overcooked.

    Enjoyed our dinner , croquettes were amazing as were the meatballs on the tapas menu. We both had the galcian chicken , very tasty. We shared the Spanish version of crème brûlée with our cappuccino . The inside of the restaurant is beautifully decorated. We did not get to go upstairs for the lounge, but I’m sure if it’s half as nice as the main dining room you’ll enjoy it. The only problem was finding the correct door to go in, which happens to be in the parking lot and does not have a sign .  the restaurant has a sexy vibe and a beautiful bar. The employees were very pleasant. We will return.
