Saaran Z.Saaran Zaman: The service was terrible, had to wait over 80 mins for the main courses. The tapas were average but the grilled squid was standout. The churros were mind blowingly good. Churros saved this place.

Bryan P.Bryan Powell: Not that great for the amount of money. The paella has good flavor although was very oily. Some of the tapas plates were really good. Mark up on the bottles of wine is crazy.

Jessica P.Jessica Placencia: Great place for a date. More tapas style so bring someone who's downy to share.

CharChar: Really good food and drinks. Beware that it’s tapas style, so you’ll pay $16 for a cup of gnocchi or one piece of octopus tentacle or four oysters. But the food really is good.

Bridget G.Bridget Gael: Great tapas but really small portions
