    The restaurant was quite busy, but this wasn’t an issue. The waiter was very polite and attentive. The kitchen had a few snags with our order and a few other tables near ours, but, the night was beautiful and I was engulfed in conversation with my dinner guest so i wasn’t bothered by the long wait time for some of our plates. I would definitely return to the restaurant because they have great tapas and the service was outstanding.

    I need to start by saying that the restaurant needs better signage if you've never been there before… Once the parking garage was located, it was still not clear where the restaurant was located… For people with any type of mobility issues, knowing there would be steps and looking for alternative ways to get there is highly recommended… That being said the dining experience was wonderful… It was my birthday celebration and I ordered the red snapper… We also ordered as an appetizer the potato dish (I can't recall the name) but I wish I could get the recipe… I loved it.… I would go back again and I hope to go back again before the menu changes so I can get that red Snapper… It is a wonderful dining experience and the ambience is equally delightful along with the explanation of their rotating menu… I've given it five stars in all categories and it deserved it…
