This was the perfect place for a birthday lunch. Great food, nice ambiance, good service, and we could have a conversation because it wasn't too loud. I'd recommend it for sure and I'm picky.

The food, the service and the ambience when dining outdoor is definitely something I would keep coming back for! It was the 2nd time I’ve been there because I was so happy when my girlfriends took me there for my birthday. I loved it so much that my daughter wanted to experience it too for her 27th birthday, so it was a first for my family. It was a very cold night but the fire and the blankets that they provided made it experience very comfy and cozy. We had 2 types of their version of Spanish paella (Coastal Array for seafood and the Secret Cut for the meat), along with other tapas to share like the Striploin and Patatas Bravas. The croquetas was awesome! What made it really special was the awesome service of our server, Brisa. Another person who helped clean and serve, as well as take our pictures was Annabel (I hope I got her name right). She was also amazing the first time I was there in July, nice Filipina. The view at the Top of the V was amazing and we got to enjoy the spectacular Disneyland fireworks from where we were sitting. If you want to have an amazing celebration, whether it’s for a birthday, anniversary or just Wine Wednesday, you should dine here! We loved it!!!
