    The food was excellent. I rarely write reviews but this place deserves it. The flavors were creative yet balanced and yummy. I also like the smaller plates so you can try a couple of different items that you might not normally try.

    Had high hopes when we walked in. Great atmosphere. Got seated immediately at the time of our reservation. Three tables seated after us had food on their table before our waiter even took our order. Our waiter seemed so flustered even though the restaurant wasn’t packed. He took my order then started to walk away before my husband even ordered. Barely spoke to us. Didn’t explain anything. Drinks were great but never saw the waiter again to order another so we just asked for the check.

    Food is very average, drinks are good. The night we went, there was only one bartender. So it took forever to get drinks.

    You expect small portions at a tapas restaurant, but you need to order way more than you think, especially for the price. Inside is beautiful but tables are incredibly crowded, to the point that your shoulder touches the person at the next table. Food was flavorful and fun to choose from. Drinks are good, but on the weak side.
