Still really enjoy this place. The food is always good and consistent and hearty. The patio is warm and comfortable and not loud even when full. A great neighborhood spot but worth the drive across town.

We ordered the Spanish artichoke flowers which were excellent just a little too much EVOO. We also ordered Setas and GF flatbread Pickled cherry tomato & serrano chili which were both very delicious. We also ordered the Gambas al Ajillo which was good. Our server Mathew was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I would definitely recommend dining here.

I would consider this a fine dining restaurant if it weren’t for the fact that they have a DJ at the doorway, playing extremely loud bad remixes of old records. Other than that, our service person was attentive; the food was flavorful; the drinks were well mixed and it has a nice look in the interior of the restaurant.
