Fun atmosphere and tapas are great! Lobster mac n cheese is loaded with lobster. Drink service was a bit slow but the bar is very crowded.

Food and service were awesome. Lobster mac n cheese, white mussels, and oreo beignets. If you're having trouble locating it, ask for The Big Gay Tapas Place ;-)

Lobster mac and cheese yum yum. Need a new dishwasher had to return stemware several times.

Incredible mezze board. Service was 2/10, though. They brought our dinners at different times so we had to wait to eat. It also took more than an hour to get our check.

While all their food is amazing it's a perfect spot to order drinks. Some apps and sit out

Overall this was a below average experience. For one we felt a bit rushed. The waiter dropped the check off before we asked for it & said "no rush." The paella was off. Best part was the mac & cheese

Paella for two is totally worth it and appropriately huge. Yelp check in for free sangria.

Good place for a drink on the side walk on a summer night without having to put up with the rowdy teenagers that hang out a few blocks down.
