    We enjoyed a lunch of several tapas including anchovies, brussels sprouts, ham croquettas, and mushroom and onion flatbread. There is a nice selection of tapas as well as sandwiches, burgers and paella for lunch. Very relaxed atmosphere.

    As great as the paella looked, we ordered only from the tapas part of the menu as that’s a favorite way to go for us. The tuna, stuffed dates and octopus tapas were incredibly tasty. The cod was great too, and perfectly cooked. While my wife also loved the Napoleon salad, I thought it was good, but it was the least favorite for me. Very nice and attentive servers and staff, and a homey, though a bit loud, atmosphere. Would absolutely return for more, and probably order a paella next time.

    Have been here several times. two points of note. First, the restaurant was virtually empty this visit and so very quiet. Can't say would be same if busy. Also, for those who check restaurant grades - as I do - three grades (and certificates) are listed. One "A" and two "Not yet graded". Caused confusion. However, I called Dept of Health to ask about this and they said last inspection in July 2024 was "A". I mentioned this to manager.

    We loved the atmosphere, very romantic. The food was excellent and our waiter was lovely. We did wish they served liquor and not just wine. We ordered both types of sangria and while it tasted good, it did not have much liquor in it...more like a yummy juice. I would still go back but order a bottle of wine instead.
