    Very nice Spainish restaurant. The greenhouse dining area was nice but heat was not felt at foot level. Food and appetizer tapas were good and made to our request. Regular drinks, lemonade and seltzer, were good but pretty expensive and we were never asked if we wanted refills. Alcoholic Spanish LIT was small but really good and strong. Servers were very nice, presentable and ready to clear off tables when we were done. Could entertain many people together if needed. Parking was nonexistent in area but thank goodness for the valet who was very nice and only $5.

    The food and service were great. The bread was nice and warm. We has the crab augratin and the Q'tal salad as appetizers and it was delicious. I had a pinot grio and my friend hasbthebberry passion which she said was delicious. As entrees, we had the half chicken and salmon dishes and it did not disappoint. For dessert er had tiramimus and Brule with cappuccino. The desserts was great. I thought the cappuccino was not hot. It was warm. And the was the only issue but I still enjoyed it. Overall, it was a great experience. Loved it.
