    All staff were friendly and welcoming. They were knowledgeable about the reservation and mentioned happy birthday before I stated it was my birthday! The manager offered everyone in my party a toast of cava for the occasion as well as a free dessert. I felt like they cared about my experience and it showed. The food was quite delicious and authentic to Spanish tapas and paella you would get at any street bar in Spain. Great service, great food, will be going back and telling friends about this awesome place!

    The first time I was here, I was really impressed. It was right around when they opened and the food was phenomenal. The second time I came for my birthday. The food wasn’t as good. As a birthday dessert, they served whip cream with graham crackers crumbled up on the bottom. That’s all it was. It was super odd. I’m glad that was free.

    Second time here and will likely go again. The first time it was a party of two and the next time with a group. Food, service, value all great but the noise level was more than energetic on both occasions, it’s just loud to the point you continue asking your server to repeat themselves. They need to beef up the ceiling with more acoustic panels. Something to consider if you are going with more than two top.
