   Delicious food and drinks, very warm and welcoming staff and ambiance and the kitchen is fun to watch if sitting at the counter! The seafood paella, shishitos, Caesar salad, patatas bravas, artichokes and blood orange mocktail were are wonderful. I will be excited to come back and try the carrots, octopus, other salads, Escalivada and lamb skewers. Thank you for a lovely evening, happy holidays!

   This place is to Spanish tapas what Olive Garden is to eating in Italy. Had an across-the-board disappointing experience (with the exception of our waiter, who was excellent). Ordered the charcuterie board: the micro-thin slices of manchego were outdone by the laughable thumbnails of blue cheese with the rind still on it. Nearly inedible. But what really was inedible were the bacon-wrapped dates — if you could call them that. I’d call the fire department. They were burned behind recognition. I’ve seen mummy fingers at the Natural History Museum that looked more appealing. (Our waiter took the $12 price off our bill.). Then the food delivery. We had split a bottle of wine, but out of boredom we drank most of it before our other dishes came out. It was more than an hour to deliver the shrimp drowning in garlic and the oddly rubbery and slimy at the same time octopus tentacle. Sadly, the only good thing we had was the grilled cheese sandwich they named “Bikini.” Just a weird experience. This one is inauthentic as a tapas restaurant and sadly, I had a bad enough experience to write this. Many more restaurants to visit in West Hartford. It won’t be this one again.

   My party enjoyed some new and interesting taste experiences Alonso (I believe that’s his name) our server was an excellent host. The carrot tapas were delicious. The salmon entrée was a huge piece of well seasoned fish. We all enjoyed ourselves

   The food was outstanding. Ambiance is fun. Our server struggled, but the manager was great. We did the full tasting experience and everyone loved it. Great value as well. Would definitely dine here again.

   Really good food and balanced cocktails. We got brunch entrees + tapas and although we were warned the paella would be a 45 minute wait, the French toasts we ordered took an extra 20 mins after that. I’m not sure what happened there, but staff was very apologetic and the food was delicious so I’m happy to consider it a fluke and would happily go back.

   I love Mediterranean Spanish food to the point that I drove 50 minutes and it was well worth it. The tapas , Serrano ham, anchovies, manchego cheese superb. I really enjoyed the culinary experience paired up with the Monastrell red wine. The crema catalana dessert (crème brûlée) was absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to go back.

    A bit loud. Staff were a little disorganized. Food was pretty good.
