    The potatoes are excellent and so was the wine. No ambience but I knew that when I went. There are better restaurants for their price point which is on the high side.

    The food was good, a bit bland for some items but the service was great and really fast. Will definitely come back if possible to complete with some churros

    I love when your expectations of something turn out to be spot on! Love this place! Food, ambience, decor, all was great and made me feel like I was in Barcelona! Waitress seemed stretched thin so service could have been better but we had a great girls night!

    Amazing tapas! I especially liked the pulpo, the anchovies, and most especially the callos.

    Loved everything except the paella, the rice had some crunchy forkfuls, like reheated rice, the two minuscule chicken legs also showed some age. The skin was dried out. I’m married to a Cuban, I know my paella. We loved the Godello and the other food items were very good.
