Lovely service and delicious patatas bravas, skirt steak and beet salad tapas. There are more full dinners on the menu than there are at many tapas restaurants. The staff was welcoming and the service was excellent.

Food was much better than I expected. Drinks were solid. A little expensive for the drinks, but it is downtown Chicago. I’d definitely go back.
