Decided to come here for Sunday Brunch to enjoy some Spanish food. My husband and I love the cuisine and were excited to see a Brunch spin on some classics. The service was lovely. Our waitress helped us pink between the great options and was understanding of any budget restrictions. We ended up getting a red sangria and cappuccino for drinks. Both of them were great! I definitely could have gone for a pitcher if I wasn't the only one partaking! We ordered the Breakfast Paella and were told there would be the typical 20-30 min wait. We ordered 4-5 tapas while we waited. It was probably too many for two people, but we were excited to try what we could. The waitress recommended the glazed carrots and we were so happy we went with her suggestion. It was one of the most memorable things we ate during our meal. The Paella came out on time and hot! We dug right into the rice, sausage, and buttery soft Chicken. Even with all the tapas we ended up eating the whole thing. It was too good to go to waste. We finished our meal with a flan and espresso shot. I definitely plan to go here again when I am in town with friends. The only thing I did not care for was the seating. It looked like the only seating available was high bar style and my short legs were unable to rest on the bar on the seat so I was a little uncomfortable. Luckily there delicious food made up for it!

Way too loud!!!! Cannot have a conversation. We asked to have the sound down, which the hostess did a tiny bit. Food is great. Service is great. As long as you don’t mind spending your entire meal asking, “excuse me, what did you say?”

Great wait staff, lovely decor, excellent food—although the bread is not nearly as good as my last visit in 2019. The noise level makes it very difficult to hear you dinner guest.

Our server was very attentive, and always available to get more food or drinks. It was particularly loud this evening, so difficult to have a conversation at our table. The food was actually just average this time, even though we tried a variety of things.

I am Spaniard, so I might be biased. The Paella was pretty awful (reheated on the oven, you can tell), the tortilla was ok, the croquetas were good. The Sangria was terrible. Look Paella is hard to do, but Sangria?

Felt rushed by the server constantly. Food was mediocre. Especially the paella. Rice was under cooked. Overall not a pleasant experience. The lack of service added to the poor quality food is a never-again situation for us.

It can definitely get loud in there and some tables are a bit too close together, but it doesn't take away from the amazing food and ambiance. The tapas dishes are just the right size to share and each person can easily order 3-4 each without getting too full. The servers are friendly and timely, and I will definitely go back for more.

Food was extremely salty to the extent that in some cases you could not test the flavor of food other than salt. Some of the dishes had very little food in them compared to before (we had dinner here before). We had been here before and had a better experience. Service was very good.

Overall the food was really good BUT the service was TERRIBLE. It took 25 mins to order a drink AND every time we were served, it was because we initiated the request for service. Never once did she ask if we had a request, if our food was good, if we needed another cocktail. Also, they brought all six tapas out in a very short amount of time. Felt very hurried. One of the worst dining experiences I’ve had. It’s unfortunate because, like I said, the food was really good.
