Glad we went at happy hour or I would have been even more disgruntled. Considering this place is located in the middle of I drive, you would think they had never had English visitors. The food was average, its tapas style so food comes out as and when ready, which we are familiar with but two dishes never showed up. The server was more interested in some of their friends that were there. Managed to get the check and get out of the place.

My first time visiting and it was great. My new wife and I had the Spinch dip, Funghi and Tuscan meatballs. The flavors were spot on. I loved the art display around the restaurant as well. Will definitely be going back.

Half of the tapas we ordered were very tasty. Our favorites were the pizza (reminded me of the personal pan pizzas from Pizza Hut), the street corn, and the Nashville hot chicken sliders. This being said, these were the cheapest ingredients, done properly, but overpriced (you pay for ambience). I enjoy the small plate, sharing aspect but the service is lack luster and the noise level worse than a midwestern bar on Sunday afternoon with the Packers playing. It’s just ridiculously loud music making any kind of dinner conversation impossible.

My friend and I an amazing experience last night at the restaurant! Our two servers were amazing they were very knowledgeable about the menu! Great great great spot I always come and I am never disappointed! My friend it was her first time and she is obsessed now! Highly recommend the sangria we order the white one but I’m sure red is just as delicious. The smear skewer is amazing! The potatoes croquette was amazing as well! The max and cheese jalapeño is soooo good! And then for dessert the Flan was so yummy! If your in town please stop by here and check them out!!

Went here on a random date night ! It was a great time. Food is amazing ! 3-4 tapas was enough for the two of us but we ordered 5 and were overly stuffed. Chicken tikka and cuban sandwhich was our favorite. Pizza was crispy , couldve passed on fish tacos. And drinks were DELISH ! For sure very energetic and loud if thats your vibe… it was ours. Great place fast seating with reservation.

For a party of 2, we ordered 6 different things and everything was fabulous! Really fresh, quality food that I appreciated as so many restaurants are lacking in the quality of their food since the pandemic. I highly recommend this restaurant and will go back the next time I’m in Orlando.

Our reservation was marked as sat while I was told to wait a few minutes after checking in and table given to someone else, however once I asked again for our table and the issue was noticed we were sat promptly. Our servers were very attentive, checking on us and bringing water often. I would like servers to maybe be transparent of the small issues such as food being delivered at incorrect tables, and let patrons know that it happens and if something seems to have been lost to not hesitate in asking servers to check if the order was fulfilled already or simply still in making, brother overheard table next to us accept a waffle that he believed his but we’re told waffles take some times so we want to be a hassle and ask again, same for another plate that was being delivered to another nearby table but this time we made sure to get the runners attention. Also wish the taco bar with toppings and hot sauces had been pointed out/explained to us during our first timers briefing, as we didn’t know about it until after we had paid and walked over to the bathroom before leaving. Overall the place was great and mom had a very nice Mother’s Day brunch.
