    Great service, tapas were all great. Ordered 10+ dishes and not one disappointed. Environment was very cool, dimly lit, lots of seating of options. Didn’t sit at the bar but can imagine it would be a good spot for a drink or a bite to eat. Cocktails were very well done as well. Will be back!

    Every single dish we had fits the profile of richly flavorful & decadently mastered. We split the K-pop chicken, truffle mac ‘n cheese, kimchi bacon risotto, and pork ribs. We had martinis - the sour redemption (a whiskey base that’s not too sweet or too sour) and a lychee martini (gin base) that was also not too sweet, thankfully. Everything was 5 star + level. Expertly crafted and presented, tenderly cooked to perfection! The mac ‘n cheese was by far the best I have had in my life with the truffle flavor, the tender broccoli, and the basil topping with a bit of charred/grilled cheesy crust. To our delight, we had not only a wonderful server, but were able to meet a co-owner who checked in on us during our time. What a beautiful experience, the ambience is dark moody lighting giving a calm peaceful vibe with beautiful aesthetic decor like gorgeous wallpaper and stunning china plates for the dishes. Our new first pick of date nights! We will return & want to work our way through the whole menu!

    What a great treat. The location, directly across the street from the Ryman Auditorium can't be beat for a pre-show meal. We sat at the kitchen bar for the full effect and were witness to a great show. I had ONE goal for the night; proper Jamon Iberico. . . it met my full expectations. Every thing else was gravy. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and willing to talk us through the menus (food and drink). All was fantastic and truly did make us fondly remember tapas restaurants that we have visited in Barcelona. I would highly recommend reservations because this place if going to blow up with business. Don't miss it.
