   Are at the bar over tapas and some drinks. Great casual date. The roasted peppers were the best but the garlic shrimp and bacon wrapped dates were favourites as well. The bar service was above average, helpful with wine tasting. This is a go-to for sure.

   Booked a table here for my partners birthday. We were seated by a back bar that had ESPN on TV right in front of us, and there was too much foot traffic to comfortably sit across from each other. I didn't want to be feel like I was in a sports bar for an occasion but that was the case. I was very disappointed in the ambience, but I feel if we had have been seated in another area I would have had a different experience. No issues with service, food was decent. Just felt let down as I wanted the birthday dinner to feel special.

   The Brussels sprouts salad was great to start with, so crisp and refreshing. The brunch paella was very good and came out much faster (and bigger!) than expected. The croquettes were a real highlight, they were amazing, and so was the side sauce. The tenderloin was a bit overpowered by the bleu cheese, so we didn't get much meat flavor there.

    The food was great as always , but they decided to sit us in the veranda room that’s basically outside it was so hot both me and boyfriend got sick sitting out there. They should give you the option when making reservations to pick if you want inside or out. It’s just to hot out there for most.

    Food and service were good up until the end. One of the workers was getting rid of the dishes, and while I was packing up the leftover paella in boxes, he just stood there and waited. And he also took away the lemons/sauce without asking and I wanted it to take home. I felt extremely rushed and annoyed. Also, the waitress never added my LEYE points so now I have to email.

    There’s something so comforting about how much has stayed the same since I last came, around 20 years ago. The food is insanely delicious and comes out shockingly fast. The waitstaff seems to WANT to be working, which is even rarer and more appreciated these days. Get the hangar steak. Order like three.

    I’m sad to say that our group was disappointed in the Sunday brunch. We were hoping for more breakfast items and what they offered was just ok (other than the spicey potatoes which was amazing). Empanadas we’re very good but breakfast items, not so much. We’ll return but for lunch and/or dinner.

    They completely changed the menu and was not what I was expecting at all. I miss the menu before Covid. Very disappointing we barely ate anything and spent $200. Ended up going somewhere else to eat right after

    Everything is delicious here. We have our favorite choices and get them every time. The bacon wrapped dates and black-raspberry sangria are must haves. The service is excellent. Make your plans in advance. We would love to see the chicken curry salad make a comeback. Maybe even a season item. We miss it a lot. Well done again!

    It's quite expensive for what's it's worth. Most of the food feels like you can do it yourself at home, not as good as they make it, but it'd be achievable. Something as simple as bacon wrapped dates shouldn't be $10. They advertise their happy hour, which is only available at the bar, but the sitting space at the bar is very limited, maybe 15 seats maximum. Whereas the entire restaurant is gigantic and has more than 50 tables easily. So the happy hour is available to less than 5% of their customers even during happy hour.

    I've eaten here a few times in the past and loved it, this time (on 6/12/22) the food seemed not as good. All the stuff I loved in the past seemed less than I remembered. Not sure if covid changed some things here (because he last time I was here was before covid) but like I said, not as good and that's why I gave it three stars. I still think its a good restaurant, just not as good as in the past.

    I brought a large group (was supposed to be 10 people, then 7 came; 5 adults and 2 small children). We had a large table which was good. The mango margarita was very good and the desserts too. The food was a little bit on the "heavy" side, especially the fried stuff (calamari, chicken). Service was attentive but made feel a tad rushed. So all in all a good experience, especially with the two small children.
