The food was fine. Nothing special. The steak was more Costco quality than butcher quality. The grilled chicken on top of the salad was okay. Didn't sound feel like they used the highest end chicken. The prices are reasonable in today's market. The fish and chips were pretty good. I think they could have used a little less breading, but I think that was the best dish in the group that we got.

We had a good meal but putting 6 adults in a booth is just not thoughtful at all. I know it was done to give the server a table and he was a great server, but we hated the table!

A fun lively restaurant with ample seating at the bar as well as nice setting tables. It was a Monday evening and the place was hopping. Our bartender was friendly, helpful with drink choices. Our tapas were outstanding! We really enjoyed the garlic shrimp, the Catalan Cannelloni and the ham croquettes.
