Excellent food. Paella is well prepared. The sauce used for the cauliflower tapa is delightful. We were seated upstairs and were the only party seated upstairs which was very isolating . There were plenty of tables downstairs. Overall, though, a good experience.

Five of us went for dinner over the Yale Graduation Weekend. Although initially bothered by the fact that only the Graduation Pre-Fixe Menu was available, and the poor coordination of our ordering process, we were ultimately satisfied with the good-value meals, given how practically all restaurants were in Chaos over this weekend. Crab cakes and seafood dishes in general were excellent. Fillet mignon were not of the precise doneness. I think the seafood dishes were better than the meat ones.

We had high hopes for this restaurant based on previous reviews but were sadly disappointed. We made reservations for inside the restaurant but were told we needed to sit outside. The service was mediocre at best. Two out of the four entrees were sent back. The risotto was undercooked and a medium steak came out well done. I would not recommend this restaurant.

Sergio’s was a fabulous server. Food was delicious and portions sizes great. Flavor was good, timing of tapas was great allowing for clearing of plates which were a bit big for the portions and also for the table.Only negative was the guacamole was too salty for me. Overall excellent and will be back.

Mother’s Day brunch very mediocre. Food took forever to come out considering a prix fixe menu of a few options. Risotto was actually rice and I’ve had better microwaved rice meals. Vegetables tasted frozen and bland. Drinks and dessert were good. Service ok. Very loud and decent ambiance. Super expensive for quality of food. Would go back for a drink and guac, that’s about it
