We went there for dinner. Since my wife is from Spain, our expectations were quite high for Spanish tapas. While the food was not entirely authentic, I would say that it was on the "right side of the border." Spanish food outside Spain is usually quite disappointing, but here they managed to get most of it right. Service was courteous but slow. To their credit, they gave us a tapas on the house, to apologize for the slow service. All in all, a good place to go for tapas.

Had never been there before. Went for the paiaia. After arriving on time for a 6:15 the seated us at a small table in a back room with no other diners. When I asked for different table in the main room the hostess wasn’t happy but begrudgingly moved us to the main room. Maybe just me but after we are seated I kind of expect somebody to wait on us. No joke, 15 minutes before anyone spoke to us again. Server finally arrived. Very pleasant . Food arrived in a timely manner. Very solidly ok. Not great but good. Might go back. Think what summed up the over all experience was on the bill they charge more than the menu price for a credit card. You know, like a gas station.

Went to Vino during Dine LA to try something new in area. Food was very good. The service was good considering restaurant was full. Noise level was high between folks talking and guitar playing. Nice ambiance. Think group get together versus intimate dinner.

One of the best outings I’ve had in a while! Croquetas de Pollo definitely was the highlight. We did small tapas and share all of them. They were all great and the wine recommendation from our waitress (Star) was amazing. Very happy with the experience!

The service was a disaster, we had to physically chase staff to get our food. They were nice, but overwhelmed. The table next to us never got their order and left after an hour. The room is loud and crowded, maybe weekday lunch is better, but never again on a Saturday night.

We were celebrating a birthday and all really enjoyed ourselves. Our waitress was helpful and attentive, recommending some great wines and tapas. I think her name was Asha but I may have that wrong. It's been a while since I've eaten there and reviewers appear to be very passionate both on the positive and negative side so I was apprehensive but found the evening to be a great success.

We keep giving this place a try, but they keep getting worse. I don’t know think we will ever come back. The tapas were not that good, only the shrimp was decent. Our waiter disappeared for about 25 mins, so we could not try something else. Wine was great though!

I’ve had this place saved for awhile and finally got to enjoy it with friends. The night was perfect even with a couple hiccups like a slightly small table for 3 people and the pállela taking longer than expected. Our server Alex’s knowledge of the wines and attention to the table was impeccable. Will definitely return again and again.

Great service! Sat in back patio. Our server was great. She gave us recommendations that were on point which was so appreciated. Loved the sparkling wine, chicken milanese with side salad, the chocolate cake with ice cream. Perfect portions. Great tasting. I requested the cabana sofa area in my reservation on open table but there were people seated there already. That part I didn’t like. Especially since there was a child making noise in that area. Other than that, it was a very nice experience.

This restaurant should really be called “Spanish inspired”. The food is ok and the paella is not worth the $30 price or 30 min wait. Very little flavor besides the turmeric that overpowered the entire dish. The small plates are hit or miss. We had a couple of really good dishes like the Meatballs and some that were below par, the Hummus. They had live music which was beautiful, but the service was incredibly slow and the food pace was off. We got some tapas within minutes of ordering and others took over 20 mins to come out. I wouldn’t go back again.

This was a great place to celebrate a birthday or have a nice date night.
