We ate here for Thanksgiving dinner. The food was excellent. The hostess seemed a bit frazzled, which may be understandable since it was busy. She seated people ahead of us who had a reservation 30 min later than we did and then we had to wait for a table. The women’s bathroom doesn’t have hooks in the stalls so there is no place to put your purse. Minor complaint but I was surprised by this oversight.

Three of us had a quick dinner: 3 appetizers and 3 tapas (we shared all of them) and everyone liked everything. Desert was great too. Quick and attentive service allowed us to be out of the restaurant in just 45 minutes. The place is a bit pricey, but worth it.

This was a great spot for lunch. Food and service was great, and they did not rush us to leave. The restaurant was rather empty so they let us sit for hours just to chat.
