   Asked us to move tables after we sat down and didn’t recognize that it was a birthday celebration

   Been here multiple times. Enjoy its ambiance and authenticity. Wine and dirnks were very good. Flatbread more like a pizza. Octupus entree very ++ nice. Fries were outstanding. Paella special tonite - Valenciana was severely under-seasoned chcken was nearly tasteless. Chef distarcted when cooking?? Fideua Pulpo was much better flavored with octupus sabor yet few or no pieces. Don't recall menu adviisng it was pica. Not a fan of the 18% add on for 5 guests nor the 3% crefit card charge. Not likely to return due to just those.

   We came here for West Town’s Restaurant Week and were pleasantly surprised with the menu! We’ve never been here before, and the menu looked special from top to bottom. The goat cheese stuffed dates were easily our favorite of the night. Thank you for a wonderful Tuesday date night!

   It has been a long time since I’ve sent anything back in a restaurant. I don’t believe I’ve ever in my life experienced an entire tables food coming out cold. We ordered about $300 in drinks and more than that in food. A dish would come out and it would be cold. We’d let the server know and they would promise it wouldn’t happen again. Finally entrees come out for all six of us and everyone was cold. So cold in fact that our bone marrow was congealed to a solid…. They repeatedly told us they were under staffed due to the patio being opened last minute. Why would they not staff accordingly if you planned to make that kind of decisions. You have a restaurant full of reservations that suffered. Worst part is we only saw a manager once and then waited 20mins before just asking for the bill and leaving. Thankfully we were able to find food down the block due to us all being starving. Made for an adventurous evening to celebrate a birthday. At least the cocktails were nice despite them taking forever. Good luck choosing a wine they were out of all of them. I attempted to order several expensive wines without any luck. Just a disaster. Heartbroken really. We were very much looking forward to this celebration dinner.

   Even though the place looks great, the food is just not good—super overpriced for the quality. We had the seafood paella and the tuna tartare, and honestly, neither of them was worth the money.

   Paellas are great, I would order all of them if with a group. Food was unique and delicious. We were seated on the top floor of the restaurant which has a cool vibe but one in our group has mobility issues and it was difficult for them to climb that number of steep stairs. They should let people know that they could be climbing 3 flights of steep stairs and ask if anyone has mobility issues before they seat anyone in that area.

    Everything was great from the service to the food. But I wish they had not put the 18% service charge on our bill without letting us know.i felt that was sneaky.
