We ate here before seeing the Tina Turner play. Service was fast, food was amazing and noise level was excellent as we could hear each other easily, (we had a large group). Highly recommended

The ambience, lighting, and atmosphere was very relaxing and pleasing to the eye. The bread was cold. We observed other guests receive bread that was warm with steam emanating from it. I wish ours would have been that way. My wife's mixed drink was delicious. I wish they had more beer options. Only two spanish beers were avaliable. The pressed chicken with potatoes was excellent. The oxtail was too sweet and lacked spices. Over $100 including tip was a little on the pricy side.

Food and wine we had was exquisite. Somehow they manage to provide top of the line cuisine, while still maintaining a relaxed, easygoing atmosphere. We have been doing here for maybe 20 (?) years. Cheers! 🍷

What a wonderful experience. Been here many many times. It feels fresh every time. Feels like you’re in Europe, you forget where you are at. Beautiful restaurant, excellent attentive service, great food, best sangria ever. We are here the night we got engaged and just celebrated our 30th engagement anniversary here. Had many landmark evenings here. Such a romantic place. Can’t wait to celebrate more evenings here.
