    We went for some relaxation and tapas early in the day before a late Thanksgiving dinner. Everything was delicious, service was excellent and sangria was good. I thought the price was reasonable for how much we ordered and everything is more expensive at Disney. I would definitely come back and try something else. My only complaint is they don’t have hot sauce and I love spicy with my tapas.

    The food portions were great. Plenty of food, well prepared. The only hitch is that my wife ordered white rice (versus fried rice or noodles). The rice was brought in a dish at the same time the soup and salad were served (about 20 minutes before the chef started cooking). We asked for a fresh dish, which they brought well before it was to be consumed. The bright spot of the evening was Kila - our table attendant. She was magnificent.
