    Forgot how much we like it here for a foodie change of pace. Can't remember ever being disappointed the dozen times or so I've been over the last fifteen years. Great place with good food, wine and cocktails. However, I'm reluctant to give it a perfect score because it might draw overly large crowds.

    Our food was very good. Our waiter was quite pleasant, but had to be reminded to get our drinks to us from the bar. It was Mothers Day and they were busy. I would recommend this restaurant. My wife and I have eaten there several times, but always at the bar. On Mothers Day we were at a table, since we were a party of 5.

    Dinned on 04/29/25, Scott was our server. He was very informative and super attentive to our needs. He was great at selecting a wine that everyone enjoyed as well as meme explanations and suggestions. While the food is always top notch, the service really makes for the overall experience. We will return again in the near future. Our guest was also very impressed an stated that she & her husband would drive the many miles to enjoy this fine dining experience again. Please keep up this unique experience for years to come!

    The food was great, so many options and all were good, the croquettes and goat cheese were fantastic. Wine by the bottle was well priced and great options. Food was very authentic sweet Spanish food, if you like sweets you will love this place. The downside is the atmosphere is pretty weird, a mix of Spain, Mexico , and bad 80’s decor. And unfortunately our first impression while we were being seated the waiter/ host stopped at every table to pick up the checks and talk forcing us to have to stop and wait, it was very bizarre. Our waiter though was amazing, and the food was plentiful and good.

    We decided to sit at the bar and have tapas and a nice bottle of wine. Beautiful atmosphere, wonderful bartender/ server (Juan I believe?) was knowledgeable about the wines and cuisine. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Tapas is such a fun way of dining because you can try so many things!
