So sad the restaurant is closing, our last meal was wonderful. Flavorful drinks and tasty tapas. We got the Pan de Cristal, steak skewers, iberico albondigas, tortilla, and chicken croquettes.

I can’t believe this restaurant is closing down. It is the most authentic Spanish t¡restaurant in the city, such a shame. Glad to have experienced it one last time….

Honestly, if that was the food having all the chefs on deck that night... it was disappointing, especially at that price point. The place is closing, but it was so underwhelming, that I wouldn't return anyway. The server tried to give good service though.

I’ve been here multiple times and had good experiences. This most recent dinner was underwhelming to say the least. The food was just average and the service was remarkably bad. Every single member of the wait staff crew tried to take dishes and drinks that were not yet finished - and this happened over and over. The dining room wasn’t even filled so I’m not sure why the rush to move us along. We weren’t even told there was a happy hour menu until 6 pm when the menu was dropped in front of us and we were told if we wanted to order anything from it, we had to place it immediately. Based on this overall dining experience, I will not be coming back anytime soon.
