First time visiting this restaurant. Met with friends at a mutually agreeable distance. entrees were excellent. for starters Mussels in Pernod sauce was particularly good though it needs to be served with fries on the side an not inside the dish. calamari was nothing special.Would have appreciated if bread for dunking into the devious sauce would have been included with the starter. Paella dish could have fed 2. Scallop and ahi entrees were excellent. Haven’t seen Spaten beer on a menu ina long time..thanks. Espresso wasn’t very good…tepid and bitter. a bit pricey but that seems the case for many restaurants lately At times difficult to hear conversation with children screaming in background. I do not have a problem with parents bringing kids to a restaurant but they need to understand there are others that are affected by their poor behavior.

Good was the food and vibe is cool. It is tight spacing of tables and if a band Is playing it’s for sure loud. We sat next to a divider wall and their tree decorations sort of fall over the sides and onto the table making space tighter. Service was slow and waiter inattentive. But, food quality very good

It was a wonderful experience. We went out for Father’s Day. Initially when we got seated they sat us at the front table immediately upon entering the door, terrible area. We asked to be relocated upstairs and it immediately upgraded our experience. The food was delicious overall, paella was a bit too soupy but the flavor was good. All of our drinks had too much ice, really couldn’t get the flavor of the specialty drink. Services was good, she was really attentive. We had a good experience overall.

Food was good but the service could have been better. Took forever for our server to come to our table and he wasn’t friendly.
