"The food was interesting and very good. My table got 8 dishes: The sweetbreads were amazing - small pieces mixed with root veggies. Most things were good, but the goat cheese croquettes were dry and not very flavorful and the pork belly flatbread lacked seasoning. Food aside, what really makes this place notable for me is the cocktail list. It is huge, with tons of classic options and new twists. Besides the main list, they have a second separate list of just absinthe cocktails! All six drinks I had were great. I especially enjoyed the sazerIran - a sazerac heavy on the absinthe, and the Stonewall - a bourbon and apple cider concoction. Prices are very reasonable and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the drink menu."

"Was my first time here. I've been to other Tapas Restaurants in other parts of the country and was very excited to try this one. In comparison, I found the service to be slow with a very small tapas menu, and for the price found the portions sizes to be small."

"Nothing short of perfect, lamb kabobs, shrimp ceviche, and sangria were the best. Extraordinary attention to detail, even the pickled egg in the salad was notable."
