    I visited this restaurant couple times. It was not pleasure experience. First of all, I asked what the special menu is for tonight to server, He recommend expensive menus, and the worst thing was he did not recognize what the restaurant menus are. I mean that I asked server that I could not find mussel Tapas in the menu, he said it was not in there. The funny thing was that I found mussel tapa in the menu. Definitely he is not a professional server. The appetizers were good. but the Paellas were the worst. Those Paella were salty and watery. I do NOT recommend this restaurant.

    Beautiful restaurant with excellent food and service. Please consider playing music from Spain. It would help the ambiance. Music tonight was too energetic and loud for a nice, relaxing meal.

    We ordered croquetas , oxtails ($44) ridiculous, that came with a terrible rice on the side, and chicken with French fries 🍟 ( terrible) my son couldn’t eat. Just saying that I’m from Spain 🇪🇸, this place have nothing to do with food from my beautiful country, we are so proud of our food, and this restaurant brings us down. Stay away from spending your money here. The flamenco 💃🏻 show was very nice and entertaining.

    The food was good and this was clearly a nice mom-and-pop family restaurant, but the prices were ridiculous. We ordered the Spanish meatballs, which I believe were $12, and we got 5 bite-size meatballs in a sauce. The portions were nowhere near reasonable for the price. Party of two, we spent $75 before tip without any drinks and left still hungry. I love to support small business but we won’t be going back.

    Delicious tapas and paella! There was not one bad dish! The only issue we had was the noise level. We sat outside and there was live music - which was great - but it was played so loud we could not carry on a conversation. We asked the waiter to have them please lower the volume and I think they just cranked it up louder.

    We always love it here specially on weekends for flamenco or live music. Food is great and every time we get the male Spaniard server he does an amazing job every time.
