What a pleasant atmosphere and now family owned business, from the moment you step in you are greeted with a beautiful smile from Angela, nice ambiance music and great atmosphere overall. Gotta try the passion fruit margarita, loved the food and paella, delish. Raphael, the new manager was most welcoming and their crew, from the waiters to the bussers were all great. Excellent service and food. We will definitely go back to try more of their food.

The food is outrageously delicious. The ambience is open and inviting. We felt as if I were actually in Spain. After Covid, we are very particular about where we go to eat and this is our new favorite restaurant.

A really nice experience on a Tuesday night. It was quiet (and late) on a week night but our servers were gracious. Scallops and saffron risotto were terrific with fresh spinach that was just wilted on top. Mixed paella was also good. Wines were fresh which was appreciated.

Not attention to details: Serrano dry, cut too much in advance, manchego not clean ( 60% with part of the bark) coliflor, just seasoned with vinegar, burned toast. Prime rib eye, over cooked. Potatoes too grease with vegetable oil. crema catalana: HORRIBLE, not topped with sugar instead a caramel at the bottom , vanilla from extract a dull presentation. No music ambient. Floor cleaning (fabulous) over power de salon smells ( no ideal for enjoyment of food). Service, average.

Outstanding in every way. Interesting and varied menu with many pasta and paella offerings. Many appetizers to chose from. We shared the burrata/beet salad and octopus. Both were fantastic. I had the bucatini, my wife had one of the paellas. Again both fabulous. The portions were so large we took home enough for dinner the next night. Also, decent wines by the glass. We were too full for dessert but I would bet that it would be as good as everything else. Excellent!

I was surprised this place wasn’t more crowded. We had great service and a delicious meal. Bone marrow and octopus starters were both excellent. I had a paella and well it wasn’t Spain level perfect. It was really flavorful good!

The food here is excellent. We ordered the Salmon, the scallops, and a fish stew ( like ciopino, but Mediterranean style) all was delicious. We had wine with our meals. We are older diners and appreciate good food. It wasn't busy, which surprised me, since the food was so good. I'm thinking that maybe the unimpressive exterior may have something to do with it? Maybe that needs to be more inviting? The interior was comfortable, our booth was comfortable, so that's the only thing that comes to mind. Maybe spiff up the outside
