Arrived early and sat at the bar and indulged in their reduced price drink and food menu. Bartender was very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. After we were seated for dinner, our server Dylan answered our questions about the menu and made excellent recommendations. We enjoyed our meal and the ambiance. We will return!

Came here with my husband for my birthday and it was sooo good. It was great to try a little bit of everything. We ordered the tuna tartare (delicious), grilled octopus salad (I’ll be dreaming of it) and a few other tapas. It did not disappoint! Highly recommend.

Kristina waited on us Saturday night. Service was great, as were the drinks and food. We eat here frequently and have tried most of the items on the menu. All are tasty and well prepared.

We used to be regulars at this place, visiting monthly before we moved away. Now that we’re back, we chose to return for what we hoped would be a great meal, but it was nothing short of disappointing. To start, our server, Bamby, poured water while cleaning the glass with her fingernails—completely unprofessional and off-putting. The service went downhill from there. She never checked on us throughout the meal. The food didn’t redeem the experience either. I ordered the crème brûlée (crema catalana), and it was awful—tasted more like key lime pie than what it should be. Completely off. After dinner, we thought we’d give the rooftop a try, hoping for a better end to the evening. Big mistake. We sat there for 20 minutes without anyone acknowledging us, so we left. This place used to be our go-to spot, but it has really gone downhill. We won’t be coming back.

Took my husband here for our 25 year anniversary and it did not disappoint! We had several dishes with each one being better than the next. Glad to know there is a location in Atlanta! Hope it’s as good as the one in Tampa.

Everything we ordered took forever. The server recognized it but everything kept taking forever. Even after the manager came to our table to apologize profusely before even hearing us out as we were the ones that asked to speak to a manager. She gave us coupons for our “next” visit and kept saying how generous she would be with the comps. I assured her that i am not trying to squeeze them for freebies. I have no issue paying for food and service but this is so below expectation. Even after this interaction we struggled to get our food and drinks refilled. We got the check after our first round of tapas. We had a while meal that we were looking forward to but we ended up eating at another restaurant. Great atmosphere and in a great area. Fun spot, great wine but we won’t be back. We left the vouchers on the table.

We usually love this location but today was so disappointing. When we arrived there were no clean tables to seat us for our reservation. The hostess did take care of it , but management didn’t seem to feel the need to jump in and help after waiting for about 10 minutes. . We were then seated and told our waitress was on the way in.not in the building. As in on the way in a car. They only had l one server on the floor for all table tops. Again two managers seemed to not care to even jump in to help her. She wasn’t even in the building we overheard them calling the other server so she wasn’t even in the building at the time. Someone else came in to help us , but they seemed extremely understaffed. Our dishes came out under cooked and the plates dirty with old egg yolk on the plates and dirty forks at the table. I hope today was just an off day and it could be better because we love this place.
