    Last night, my lady and I had one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional—especially from our waiter, Danielle, who went above and beyond to make our evening unforgettable. The food was beyond delicious, easily ranking among the best meals we’ve ever enjoyed. What truly blew me away was the thoughtful surprise from Danielle: champagne glasses to celebrate our anniversary. That personal touch made the night even more special. Honestly, this was one of the most memorable experiences we’ve ever had at a restaurant, and we’ll definitely be coming back.

    Had an amazing dinner with Girls Night Out, there were 7 of us. Wonderful service, food was great, but I have to put this here: The French Onion Soup was to die for, the best I have ever had.

    Excellent food and outstanding service. Love this place. Whenever we travel through the area or visit Princeton, we absolutely have to have at least one meal there. Tapas are great, you can have a selection of those, true Spanish style. Main dishes are just as good, and cocktails deserve a special shout out. The restaurant is quite spacious, yet I recommend reserving a table, especially if you are visiting during busier times of the day.
