I took my family here for Mother’s Day and I must say the decor and ambiance was nice. They had a guitarist and a flamenco dancer performing with some down tempo dance music in between sets. Music wasn’t too loud, just right. That being said, that was the highlight of the evening.
We made a reservation and showed up on time. However, people without reservations were being seated before us which was a little upsetting.
Our server, Sophia was very nice and did a great job explaining the menu options and specials.
The drink selection is good with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic choices.
We had a group of 6 and it wasn’t super busy, but our food did not come out at the same time. With two toddlers this was not fun. They both ordered pasta with butter and Parmesan so I couldn’t understand why one order came out and it was about 5-10 mins before the second order came out. Also, we ordered appetizers and they came out with the mains. This didn’t sit well with me because it’s almost like they were rushing our dining experience.
The food was ok. I ordered the seafood paella which had clams, calamari, shrimp and octopus. I saw one piece of octopus and 3 clam shells, plenty of shrimp and calamari. It was seasoned well but the lack of seafood for a $39 dish was sad to say the least. My wife had the braised short ribs which was very fatty and not seasoned well at all. For $49, I expected better. The rest of the food was decent but those two dishes set the tone for me. Ok, but not worth the price.
We made a simple request for some green sauce and pickled red onions and we had to ask 4 different servers before it was accomplished.
Our toddlers were getting restless so we asked for the check only to see that there was a gratuity of 18% automatically added. We were told this is on all checks of $75 or more. I didn’t protest. It just let me know that this was the first and last time I would be patronizing this establishment.
