    Tried this restaurant today based on positive reviews. While the service and staff were very attentive I’ve had much better calamari and paella. The sangria was strong and not very fruity. Sorry won’t be back.

    On March 8th, we had a 6:00 PM reservation at this restaurant in Newark. We arrived promptly and informed the maître d’ of our reservation. I even saw my name on the computer, confirming that they had our booking. However, despite this, we were never seated or even acknowledged properly. I approached the main staff member three times, yet he never came to check on us or seat us. No explanation, no apology—just complete indifference. Meanwhile, the entire night, we noticed a four-seated table sitting empty, which made the situation even more frustrating. Eventually, we decided to find seats at the bar, ordered drinks, and just ate there instead. Even then, no one ever came to apologize or attempt to make things right. The bartender that waited on us was great!! The lack of service and attentiveness was extremely disappointing. The experience showed poor management, poor hospitality, and a complete disregard for guests with reservations. Given the service (or lack thereof), I would not recommend this restaurant, and I certainly wouldn’t return.

    The food was amazing! The service was good too. Only thing I didn’t understand about the restaurant was the coffee we ordered at the end of our dining. The coffee was absolutely tasteless. It was like a black colored hot water. All of my friends had the same opinion. Was the machine broken???
