The food was good, but not the best. It’s commercial. We always enjoy our experience there. Staff tries their best. It’s kids friendly, even though the bbq can get really hot . And you definitely have to watch the little hands.

The experience was the best from start to finish. Booked our resv through open table but was only able to book for 1 person so made a note that table was for 2 & a birthday. They adjusted the resv for table of 2 automatically, reserved us a beautiful table & the chef is incredible, he greeted us at the door & remembered me from visiting before with other friends. The food was more than amazing, we had the anchovies appetizer & seafood paella for 2, my friend said it was just as excellent as what she’s eaten in Spain, the seafood was so fresh, everything tasted incredible! They even brought her a little flan with a candle on them! All the servers were so attentive, kind & great humour! I even recommended it to one of my members & she showed up the same evening with her partner to try it! Love this place & will def continue to promote & come back! Thank you LaVinia!
