Not really Spanish. More pan-Mediterranean. Killer wine list with low markups.
Althea ChangMarch 31, 2012
Great food, but service was so horrible that we're probably never coming back for dinner. Plus they won't honor the $5 off check-in deal.
Andrew SJuly 6, 2015
This place is rather annoying. No phone reception and only takes Amex or cash. The sangria also tastes like a bad glass of fruit punch. :-/
Susie SteinerNovember 25, 2010
This place I amazing!!! But they only take AMEX! That is ridiculous!!!!
DavidOctober 4, 2012
Saw a mouse here oct 2012, staff was not exactly apologetic ("haven't seen one in THIS area before", "at least it wasn't a rat"). Could have been a rat though...free drink is all they did. Gross.
