    Last night was absolutely amazing!!! The food OMG!!! so seasoned, not oily, perfect tapas. I visited for my birthday, but the restaurant is a great location for date night or a first date. The atmosphere is sexy but not too dark, I will visit again and often.

    Love the vibe and the service was excellent. The food is really good. One dish, the lamb barbacoa was a little salty, but I'm chalking it up to us dining late and will definitely try it again.

    Wife and I had a wonderful time! Came for Valentine’s Day. Great for a date. Drinks were tasty and strong. Food was amazing; get the lamb for sure. Nothing bad to say at all. Will be coming back. Nice to have a spot like this in the neighborhood.

    We were seated and after 15 minutes we had to go ask the host for a server to take our order. Most of our food came out before our drinks even came out. Had high expectations but would not recommend if you value service and good quality

    Absolutely beautiful space. The tables are optimally spaced and the music is truly background music so you can speak with your dinner guests without shouting. The staff are thoughtful and attentive. The bartenders are a delight to watch and the drinks are well blended. I was not moved by the food in the way I hoped. The empanadas were freshly prepared and the flavors were good. The tamales were too spicy for me and that diminished my ability to enjoy them. They were quite flavorful but too spicy. The guacamole was good but there was no salsa. I think it is a great place to pop in and have a drink and some might really like the food. I was let down.

    Overall the food and drinks were great! The ambiance is nice! I would come again! The reservation policy is…eh. I understand a deposit for booking a reservation, and I’m okay with it being applied to the bill. I’m not okay with losing the deposit (for a person) if we book for 4 and 3 show up. Why not just modify or apply the full deposit to the bill. At $15/pp it just seems a bit much.
