   We had to sit in the outside area bc we added one more guest to our party of 2. But that made service hard and dinner took much longer than anticipated.

   Cute place. Really loud b/c of St Patrick’s Day groups. Bathroom could have been cleaner. Food was good- but I’ve definitely had better tapas.

   My wife and I dined at the restaurant and while the food was absolutely fantastic except for the chicken , the seating experience left a lot to be desired. Upon arrival, the host seated us at a high-top table right by the entrance, which meant we were constantly hit with bursts of cold air every time the door opened—definitely not ideal in Chicago’s winter weather. To make matters worse, the chairs at this table had no lean-back support, making it uncomfortable to sit for an extended period. It felt like we were placed there as an afterthought, despite other couple seated on tables with lean back chair later after 2 minutes when I asked host if there any tables available to seat. That said, the food was excellent. Every dish was well-prepared, flavorful, and served promptly. The service was also friendly and attentive, which helped make up for the less-than-ideal seating. Overall, food is great. Worth going for only food. The seating placement is not thoughtful and ignorant.

   We’ve visited several times. The service is usually hit or miss, but tonight we had great service. The food is delicious except for one dish: salchichon iberico, which was nothing more than 5 pieces of store-bought sopressata and definitely not worth $14! Otherwise, the food was delicious and the croquettes were our favorite.

    Paella was burnt and the waitress tried saying it was the socarrat (it obviously wasn’t) it was just burnt oil, the dish was tasteless beyond that. Octopus was overcooked and smothered in paprika as well. If you want decent Spanish this would not be my rec in Chicago.
