The whole shebang is definitely worth it! Be warned, though, they only take cash and American Express.

Squid ink paella and the fried ricotta with honey for dessert are amazing

There's a dining area behind the kitchen upstairs. Try to sit there so you can walk through the kitchen.
Lauren DininnoFebruary 24, 2012

Delicious 😋😋 try the paella !!
Mariko NakataniSeptember 8, 2013
Guys, the brussel sprouts aren't that great. Octopus salad was great but don't get it if you don't like cilantro.
MaraFebruary 2, 2018
Boquerones & Paella a must!
Morgan PolotanMarch 22, 2015
Pop in for a drink, there is often room at the bar.

Small plates but delicious, make sure you make a reservation or you'll be sitting at a table where you have to walk through the kitchen
Tesalia de SaramMarch 17, 2013
Seafood paella is one of the best dishes on the menu.

Mediterranean-inspired tapas! Round up a group of friends for the entire menu option for $420 - "The Whole Shebang."
Randy AlmondJuly 23, 2013
Try the braised octopus. You won't regret it.
Peter SigristOctober 23, 2012
You can't pay by card (except Amex). Like this tip. Tell people because it's stupid!

Order the brussel sprout. Best brussel sprout dish I've ever had!

If you're with a group, order "The Whole She-Bang". If not, get a plate (or 4) of Fried Goat Cheese w/ Lavender Honey and you're all set.

The crispy brussel sprouts are amazing.

Anand DharanAugust 26, 2018
Outstanding food, but WAY too loud. Some of the diners have no shame with their yelling and laughter

Don't get the non-traditional white sangria unless you love Campari
