    Super fun place! The ambiance for lunch was super chill, lots of art to view on the walls and columns and an artist working in studio. We were greeted right away, but the waitress got busy and forgot one of our drink orders. Food was great! Portions are what you would expect for what you pay for a tapas-style meal. We had a little bit of everything, but highly recommended the red sangria and Cuban sliders! Overall, we were very pleased with our visit and will be back.

    This has been a favorite of mine for over a decade. Things have changed over the years, but the basics are still the same: Great tapas-style dinner with an art and dance atmosphere. The food is always great, and the servers are always friendly.

    I booked dinner reservations for myself and five colleagues while in town for a conference. It was recommended by a friend, and did not disappoint! We shared a lot of small plates, and everything was delicious. We were also very pleased with the sangria and cocktails. The restaurant is very lively with music and activities like live art and fortune telling. It’s not a place for a quiet night, and we got exactly the experience we were looking for. Would definitely go back next time I am in town.

    Great food and speedy service Orders six items and first was out within 2 min. Dynamite shrimp was exactly that, dynamite! Also tried the smoked Thai spareribs, sesame steak skewers, funghi pizza, croquettes, and Cuban sliders. All were fantastic. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for tapas in Orlando!

    This is hands down my favorite restaurants in all of Orlando. Ive been coming to this restaurant for over 20 years. The bottomless brunch provides small portions so you can try an assortment of dishes without feeling overly glutinous. They also have a great happy hour with delicious drinks and food. The kitchen never takes long but even if it did the artistic ambiance and occasional performers make it so that you enjoy your wait. I always recommend this place to anyone I know visiting Orlando looking for a great experience

    Food and service was excellent. The noise level is lively. The only thing we would do differently is order a couple plates at a time. We ordered everything at once and felt rushed to try it all. Otherwise, it was fantastic.

    This is a unique restaurant. Not only is it unique in terms of the food (tapas), which are prepared very well and with fantastic flavor profiles, but the ambiance is great. Walls are covered with eclectic art and there are artists working in the restaurant. The energy level is high so if you are looking for a quiet place this is likely not it. Make reservations since it gets very busy.
