Gathering of former work colleagues for a mini reunion over food, wine, & conversation and with great conviviality. Seating in the garden, a shaded area outdoors. Paella and lunch special (swordfish) ordered along with a nice Spanish rioja (Santurnia). A fine meal in a great setting.

One of Sacramento's best restaurants, I again had a wonderful experience with a server who was so helpful starting with finding a Spanish wine similar to my French and Italian favorites. The food and presentation were excellent allowing me to provide a memorable night for one of my dearest friends. Thank you, Reda!

Great experience. Food is definitely amazing. The Black Paella is a bomb, the flavors were amazing, reminds me of the paella we’ve eaten in Barcelona and Lisbon.

30 years on and still one of Sacramento's best restaurants. The wine selection is both balanced and deep with lots of older vintage Spanish wines that are drinking great right now! Great place for a group as well as an intimate date night. Keep up the great work Reda, GiGi and the team!!

Great experience there for date night. We had excellent drinks, food, and service. We sat on the patio, which was lovely with the lights and greenery. You can hear the cars and noises from outside, but that comes with the location and was to be expected. We would definitely return to this restaurant for another visit!
