Very tight spot. Long wait. But the burger was super tasty.
Cesar De La TorreDecember 29, 2014
No good Spanish food. I'm Spaniard and the food here tonight was not like in SpIn at all.. Avoid this restaurant since it is also a bit pricy for what you get.. The paella was burnt and not good..
Adam EricksonFebruary 1, 2012
Get the Chef's Choice... well worth the $30 per person!
James GuigayomaJuly 17, 2012

Try the Griddled Prawns
Judy DanchAugust 29, 2012
good. pricey and long wait. but good food. small tapa portions,
Todd G.October 25, 2012
No idea what the fuss is about. Seriously some of the worst tapas I've ever had. We had about 8 dishes between four people. The octopus was killer, but everything else was near inedible. Skip it.

The tasting menu is a great deal! Smaller portions of a lot of greatest hits plus whatever the chef feels like sending out.
Tim In The HouseMarch 16, 2018
Tapas and drinks!

For the love of Pete get the bacon-wrapped dates!
Diane TranJuly 31, 2011
730 on a Saturday...super busy ie 90 min wait. Apparently everyone was ordering the paella...which is normally delicious...but this time it came out too salty and burned...server took it off our bill.

Radicchio salad. 'Nuff said.
Phil HillerNovember 26, 2011
I never knew dates wrapped in Bacon could taste so good!
Ellen C.March 21, 2012
Stick to other recommendations and skip the cod. The potatoes are almost sweet - way too sweet to pair with fish.
Phil HillerApril 14, 2010
The braised lamb is the best! Really good noodles and apricot flavor is fab
VrindaApril 30, 2011
