• Tapas • West Side
Two Colombian Couples dreamt of changing the concept of dining. Tired of going to places and being treated like strangers, either too casual or too formal where there was not a combination of a nice dinner and a good atmosphere to dance. Against non believers they are here to offer the best of both worlds in a different concept with two international chefs (Colombian and Venezuelan) leading the kitchen and having fun while doing so, creating small gourmet bites inspired by different flavors of the world.

    Went to celebrate a birthday on a Thursday evening. Valet is validated but there is also a garage you can park in. Food is as good as I remembered almost 20 years ago! Menu is recognizable with some new items. Everything was on point and delicious. José was exceptional and the team was great. Carajillo was nice! Definitely an energetic vibe for celebrations or group gathering. Also romantic for dinner for two or chill solo dolo at the bar. Very welcoming place for all!

    A real gem. We love tapas and this place reminded us of restaurants in Portugal and Spain. Wait staff was attentive, informative and helpful. Sangria extremely well made. Portions for tapas were large. When we left, we had a number of ‘to go’ boxes it looked like we had ordered Take Out. This is a top 5 in our restaurant rotation. Looking forward to next visit.

    Love this place, it’s inviting and comfortable, with very friendly and prompt waitstaff, the food is always excellent and service is great, you can either cook your own food right at the table on the hibachi or they will prepare it for you in the kitchen. The menu is extensive and has a huge appetizer menu and freshly made sushi. The server can help you pick out your meat selections and sides, and everything comes to the table nicely prepared. A great place to go with friends and family for dinner or a birthday celebration!!

    This speakeasy is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the ambiance feels like stepping into another era. The music was exceptional—a perfect blend of live tunes and curated playlists that set the mood beautifully. It’s the kind of place where every beat feels intentional, adding to the charm of the experience. The service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely seemed to enjoy what they were doing. They made thoughtful recommendations and ensured everything felt seamless throughout the evening. The attention to detail—from the decor to the cocktail presentation—made the night unforgettable. If you’re looking for a hidden treasure with incredible vibes, outstanding service, and music that transports you, this place is a must-visit.
