    The food is always great here. The charcuterie board was amazing. Lots of items and good portions. The potato bravas are so good! The garlic shrimp came out bubbling hot and so tasty. The croquettes were delicious as was the crab stuffed peppers. The French toast and eggs Benedict entrees were both delicious.

    We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed such a variety of our dishes! It's wonderful to know the charcuterie board, potato bravas, garlic shrimp, and croquettes made such an impression, as well as the crab-stuffed peppers. We're equally pleased the French toast and eggs Benedict entrees hit the mark for you. We truly appreciate your thoughtful feedback and look forward to serving you again!

    The service was great, as well the food. The Shakshouka was delicious and came with a small grilled cheese which was tasty and the perfect size. Also, the waiter was great. He was friendly, efficient and had a great sense of humor. He made a good experience great!

    A reliably good tapas place in Philadelphia's old city. We were a party of five. We ordered double portions of each of five tapas dishes, plus a couple of appetizers. More than enough food, which we all enjoyed I have only one quibble and one complaint. The quibble is that there were very few non-tapas, whole meal selections -- I suppose a diner interested in a single dish for a full meal should go elsewhere. The complaint is the deafening noise level -- not due to the proximity of the bar but to the restaurant's choice to have an uncovered floor and uncovered table. The noise from ordinary conversations just bounces around and magnifies itself against the completely unnecessary background "music." Oh well. A great restaurant for those who aren't bothered by not being able to hear their tablemates talk!
