Very cute restaurant. The food was quite good and the vibe was great. Not a huge wine list but good enough and not outrageous. Some fun cocktails. We will be going back soon.

Nice place for our group of six to sample several things. We had two paellas and and one order of tapas per person, and it was more than enough. An order of paella would have been more than enough for just two of us.
