In the beginning. Tapas is a daily event in the life of the Spanish culture. Mainly a Northern Spain, Basque regional tradition, it has grown to signify a way of eating and socializing. It is said that tapas originated centuries ago. In Spanish, the word tapa or the verb tapar means to cover. Tapas represents the Spanish custom of placing a piece of bread over the glass of wine. It is a custom that dates back past the 1500's. Traditionally, the exact food served is less important than the social occasion. Tapas is a way of life. It signifies leisure, camaraderie and good humor. In Spain, Tapas are almost always accompanied by wine. They are not so much about talking as they are about eating and drinking. The wine is the medium that holds the conversation with friends and the food together. You make time to enjoy the moment in an unhurried way. The threefold purpose of snacking on tapas is to dull any hunger pangs that have built up since the previous intake of comestibles.

    The drinks were great! The food was also very good! A little on the pricey side. The service was slow tough.

    Food was excellent and the ambience was nice. Kind of an odd location geographically speaking but nice once inside. Service was a little slow but it was understandable because it was very busy and the server was as attentive as possible.

    Five stars, definitely my favorite dining experience in KC. The 4 stars for value is because it’s a little expensive, but it’s worth it and the kind of food, service, and atmosphere that should cost more. Maybe I should have rated that as N/A. We came last week, too, had almost entirely different tapas each time, and enjoyed both experiences.

    What an incredible, fun, and savory experience. We had way too much food for just two people so I would take some friends with you. And order the paella (pie-a-ya). While you wait on that, grab a couple of tapas - we had the braised short rib and potatoes. Both were awesome. Now the paella - get ready for some ridiculous flavors. The lemon/tang of the rice, the heat of the chorizo, the succulent clams and muscles. It all works and listen to your server. They did us right.

    Excellent service. Plenty of specials, and they even let you order from the rest of the menu during brunch. Will definitely be back!
