    Awesome atmosphere and servers, best during the summer in the open atrium. Get the sangria and lobster and lots of tapas, and of course finish with desserts and the passionate dessert dude

    Order like 4-5 tapas for couple I think so u can taste different things. Pallea, stuffed mushrooms and fried artichokes are great. Try mango sangria or mojitos (or both lol)

    The pulpo dishes are delicious. Fried potatoes are just potato chips.

    Veal sevillana is slam-bamming. Sauteed in onions, mushrooms, & peppers, smothered in a brown sauce. Do it.

    unlike most restaurants. it is quite difficult to come here and eat food. the service is extremely lacking... on the other hand, if you enjoy waiting as an activity, you cannot do better than here!
