    Very easy to make reservations via opentable app. It wasn’t crowded on a Wednesday afternoon, service was fast and efficient. Music wasn’t loud, my friends and I were able to yap. Food was excellent. This is my second time here and I knew they offer the off-menu Tomahawk Paella so I knew what to order and it did not disappoint . They will tell you it is good for 4 people but it was good for 6! We had 3 tapas, the Tomahawk plus dessert and coffee. We had so much paella left because there were only 4 of us. Hostess Mariate made sure we felt taken cared of 🤓
