    Nice location, good food, good cocktails! I’m not sure that the jamon is fresh cut.

    All in all, it was a memorable meal with attentive, informed service. We were outside so the noise level was fine, unless you don't like trees full of birds, chirping. Inside seemed very loud when we passed through to leave. We had a wide choice of tapas and 2 main dishes (Pork Milanesa and Rice and mushrooms, which complemented each other really well. Only the Calamari disappointed -- a bit dry and flat. And a really fun place to eat. Tapas are among the best things (of which there are many) that Spanish Culture has gifted us.

    Was excellent. Atmosphere was classy and quiet (Sun diner though, not sure about Fri or Sat evening) food was up to expectation for Spanish tapas. Service was attentive. We will definitely go back and explore more of the creative menu.

    DJ spinning loud music for restaurant level for a conversation. Small menu selection for tapas. Food was good and could be even better with more variety.

    The food was flavorful, but the portions were small for the price. It could be that we’re just a bit spoiled from spending so much time in Spain, and having tapas, but increasing the size of the plates for sharing would’ve been good. Which staff was attentive.
