    This restaurant remains one of the great gems of the Columbus restaurant scene. It is simply fabulous—atmosphere, service, food, and drink. They added two new dishes to their menu—chicken and salmon. I had the chicken dish, and it was FABULOUS!!! It was a pepper barbecue to die for. We started with tasty tapas and finished with their decadent chocolate flourless cake and vanilla ice cream dessert. Yum.

    Service was professional & friendly. Food was excellent- traditional, flavorful & cooked perfectly, however the paella was lacking enough protein. I’d order additional protein: sausage, chicken & shrimp next time.
