"Fun and friendly place, but the food was, frankly, kind of lacking. The seafood dishes in particular seemed to be made by someone who didn't know how to cook them--rubbery and tasteless. An octopus dish was cooked "with" paprika only in the sense of having lots of paprika sprinkled on top. Albondigas were incredibly bland. The jamon serrano was very good, so if you do find yourself here you might do well to order only cold meats and cheeses."

"Perfect for Tapas - decent variety - heavy on fish which was great as that is not as common (Iberian) also if others decide to opt out of tapas main dishes are great and not an afterthought."

"What a find! A great assortment of tapas and this chef had even tweaked and enhanced some of the classic ones that most tapas restaurants offer. Each dish was plated beautifully. Service was excellent and our plates were changed to clean ones a few times which I appreciate. My 2 favorite tapas this night were the salpicon (seafood salad) and the flan de moca.
Most of the tapas are generous enough for sharing which is even more fun.
We will be back!"
