    It is not easy to completely wow 5 “foodie’s” who travel extensively and have tried many tapas restaurants around the world. First of all, Michael our server was exceptional but the food was absolutely fabulous. We sampled 10 different small plates and they were all winners. We can’t wait to return!!!!

    The food was awful. Wretched. A cartoonish parody of Spanish cuisine. A disgrace. Pair that with a poorly trained server and you get the picture.
