    Our experience was a good one, the atmosphere and service were wonderful. The only issue that we had was there is a discrepancy with the current menu that is on open table price and the restaurant’s actual prices. A dish had a $20 price difference, which was a bit surprising. Other than that, the food was good and our server was great.

    Had a group dinner with a customer. Service was very slow and two meals, a seafood pasta dish, were not brought out until the rest of the group finished their meal. Hard to image it took 40 minutes to cook a fork full of pasta.

    We had a Spanish omelet, the muscles and the octopus all were prepared poorly, tasted reheated, over cooked and burnt. The pictures of the food online did not match the food delivered to our table. Will not go back

    We wanted authentic Paella and unfortunately it was not that great. We were expecting a fabulous experience per the reviews. Both the chicken/pork and the seafood paella were dry, over cooked and had lack of flavour. The service was under par in my opinion. I would NOT return. So many other better restaurants in the area.

    From the moment I walked in, the service was first-rate. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the food is delicious, with fresh, well-combined ingredients. I definitely recommend it!

    Mussels were outstanding. Be sure to ask for bread to soak up the wonderful sauce.
