   All food items were as good as always and items served piping hot. This is a great spot for tapas, which allow you to taste your way through extensive menu.

   I’m a local who had never been. We had a group of 5 from out of town for business, one person with a few different allergies. This was a perfect place for the group. We were greeted warmly and genuinely by the host. The person with allergies was extremely well attended to, without any attitude. The staff was proactive in communicating with them, while still attending to the entire table. Our food was excellent. The two favorites were the Brussels sprouts (cooked perfectly!) and vegan paella (flavorful!). The décor and ambience overall are inviting and energetic. We had no trouble hearing each other at the table, and we were near the kitchen window. Will for sure go back again, especially with visitors.

   We went expecting Spanish food. Tapas serves so much more! The lumpia were delicious. The curry was exciting. The risotto was FULL of delicious vegetables. Abundant vegan and vegetarian options. Service was cordial without being obsequious. Prices were quite reasonable. The setting was interesting with subdued lighting and lots of wood and steel.. We were early, so noise was not a problem. The only complaint I have is that, on this January evening, the room was darn chilly. a cup of hot tea helped.

   The space is very attractive and inviting. Many larger tables for groups to gather. Service was average. Food was a mixed bag - brussels spouts were tasty, calamari didn't taste fresh, shrimp was bland and potatas bravas was dry.

   This place has always been a favorite, but last night’s dinner was extra perfect. We came in as a group of 9 to share an intimate wedding dinner and the restaurant went out of their way to make everything perfect for us. The area we were seated in was adorable and very quiet - even when the restaurant was packed we felt like the only ones there. Excellent food, delicious drinks, great service. Can’t recommend IST enough for a celebration!

   We were celebrating our anniversary with friends. Our server/bartender, Micah, made that best old fashioned and was very attentive. The service was excellent as was the evening! Our first visit, but not our last!

   The food was very basic. Not really tapas. No real flavor of anything.

   Overall experience was good. Service was below average. There was no follow up / inquiry on food after arrival or additional drinks.

    The large dining room was empty at 6pm on a Wednesday night. The food was tasty for the most part but overpriced for the serving size. I ordered a gin martini, my favorite drink when dining out. It was in a very small glass, mediocre taste, and I noticed on the final bill they charged $20! Never again.
