The paella was excellent as were the croquettes and empanadas! The wagyu ribeye was a fabulous piece of meat but was undercooked. And over salted.

Have a unique gin and tonic! Fragrant, beautiful, and so good. Wonderful Tapas and By the Piece selections. All very very delicious and unusual. We had many selections and all were super. I felt the large plates fell a bit short. The make-your-own paella was fair at best, MAD burger overdone but tasty, but the star was the pork lettuce wraps. My opinion would be go "mad" and wild for all the tapas selections. Very pretty restaurant and not loud, so you could actually talk while you shared delicious food. Superb service.
