    It may just be ignorance on my part and if so i apologize. I assumed when you order tapas they typically bring them out one or two plates at a time. We ordered six plates and they all arrived at the same time. This resulted in cold food for a third of our order. There may have been some confusion when i told our server to bring the order out in any order the kitchen seemed fit. Food and service was excellent otherwise.
