Set up a last minute late night reservation and was very impressed. The service was friendly and warm, and very efficient and quick. Waitstaff checked in multiple times throughout the night. The food was amazing! The pollo milanese was cooked to perfection. The carbonara was creamy and delightful. Even the focaccia we ordered as a starter was savory and light. Loved every minute and will definitely be coming back!

We booked a table for two for date night the Tuesday before thanksgiving. I was surprised by how empty the place was. This is an authentic Spanish restaurant. We ordered tapas though they do have main courses and paella. Everything we had was delicious. I was in Spain not long ago and this put me right back. Service was spectacular. They have a lovely private dining space for a large party. Coat check took. 10/10. I highly recommend.
