    Great experience. Food is definitely amazing. The Black Paella is a bomb, the flavors were amazing, reminds me of the paella we’ve eaten in Barcelona and Lisbon.

    30 years on and still one of Sacramento's best restaurants. The wine selection is both balanced and deep with lots of older vintage Spanish wines that are drinking great right now! Great place for a group as well as an intimate date night. Keep up the great work Reda, GiGi and the team!!

    This was a pleasant experience. We celebrated my birthday there. It’s a cozy dining experience with great food. Our favorite tapas was Octopus. We will definitely go there again!

    Great experience there for date night. We had excellent drinks, food, and service. We sat on the patio, which was lovely with the lights and greenery. You can hear the cars and noises from outside, but that comes with the location and was to be expected. We would definitely return to this restaurant for another visit!

    We had a wonderful meal here. Every morsel from the charcuterie plate, to gambas a la parilla, portobello mushroom de la moda and the rib eye was delicious. We topped it off with desserts. Oh, and Sangria is so refreshing. Our server, Yolanda (sp?) couldn’t have been nicer and more accommodating. The ambience is charming. What’s not to love? We’ll be back!

    We ate here before seeing the Tina Turner play. Service was fast, food was amazing and noise level was excellent as we could hear each other easily, (we had a large group). Highly recommended
