    We booked a table for 4 outside for 6:45 due to lack of indoor space however weather was chilly & the offered outdoor heaters. Upon arrival, a table was not set, we were sat down and wait 15 mins before our server showed up to bring 2 sets of placesettings. We asked when we could get our heat turned on and was told, they will be here soon. Took our drink order and we waited another 10 minutes and finally my husband got up & turned on the heater himself. After about 10 mins it ran out of propane so we had to have another heater brought over. We also had to remind our server to bring to more place settings and a booster seat for our grandson (this was also previously requested on open table) We tried five different small plates (tapas) and it every dish was mediocre at best. Unfortunately our excitement of finding a Spanish restaurant on our weekend getaway ended in disappointment. If anyone is expecting an authentic Spanish cuisine, this is not your place, they basically had zero wine, had no idea what a Spanish Gin Tonic was. I'm sad to say this was really disappointing experience.

    We had the paella for 4. It was loaded with seafood and everything was cooked perfectly. We enjoyed our meal and I would recommend it to anyone.

    Absolutely amazing place, this is a great date night spot with authentic tapas. My husband and I have pretty much ordered every tapas on the menu as well as the patella and have never had anything bad here. It’s an upscale restaurant so will say wear something nice.
