    Horrible food. Our dining experience was so bad that we were starving and went searching for dessert elsewhere. What they claimed to be oxtail was just unrecognizable mush. It had no flavor. Think flavorless brisket done like steamed pulled pork. The halibut was served in a bowl of broth with half cooked potatoes and the Brussel sprouts were so hard that all we could eat was the bacon garnish. If I could give a -1 rating I would. If you’re used to enjoying good Spanish food in NY or Philadelphia then don’t waste your $$ here.

    We are very sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your meal with us. We wish we had the opportunity to make it right while you were dining. We would have removed the items from the check and hoped to have had the chance to find you dishes that were more to your liking. If you would like a refund, please contact us and we will process a refund. We appreciate your patronage.

    Always love Gabi James! The churros are a must after the pepper crusted filet mignon and a jalapeño business cocktail

    Over priced for the quality! I ordered the lamp chops, pathetic to say the least! There was no flavor and it was overcooked.
    Gabi JamesResponded on June 12, 2025
    We are so sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your meal. We always appreciate feedback and would have loved the opportunity to get you something that you would enjoy when the lamb chops were not to your liking. Thank you.

    Been going for years. Won’t be back for awhile. Vodka tonic was all tonic. Had to order a shot of vodka. Filet used to be so good. Arrived was supposed to be medium. The last two visits it was rare. Also, both times received the end cut. Very hard to cut. Sent back. Waited another 20 minutes. This time came back medium well. So dry, hardly ate. My friend ordered the Octopus. She always orders. This time and one other, over cooked. She didnt want to wait, so just ate what she could. Owner compensated some of the bill. Still over 70$ pp. As per usual these days, I had a drink and chips. 🙁

    Thank you for your review, Kim. We truly hoped that we were able to make it right and are sorry that we were not able to do that. We hope that you will be back again. Have a nice week.
