Food was great. They recommended their special flaming cheese appetizer and it was delicious. The salmon and lamb shank were also delicious. The service was not up to our expectations as there were a lot of staff standing around and our server was too quick to disappear and the appearances in between were spotty. Our expectation would be the staff standing around would be working as a team and this was not the case, not for the price level of this place, we expected better in terms of the service. Compliments to the kitchen, but suggest you get the front of house up to the same level.

Probably by far the most amazing restaurant/experience my boyfriend and I have had in Scottsdale, AZ. Our waiter (both times we attended and ate here) Logan was undeniably 1 of the most polite, experienced, and best waiter we have had in quite some time. Remembered our order from last time we were there and treated us great! I would recommend him to anyone who decides to go here and we will DEFINITELY be back!!!

Delicious tapas and paella! There was not one bad dish! The only issue we had was the noise level. We sat outside and there was live music - which was great - but it was played so loud we could not carry on a conversation. We asked the waiter to have them please lower the volume and I think they just cranked it up louder.
