We ordered only vegetarian/pescatarian dishes from the small plates and sides. All were very good, although the tzatziki was curiously lacking in garlic and the muhammara might have had a bit more heat. Our server, Jorge, was outstandingly attentive. The wine list could do with a few more moderately priced selections, especially in the reds. Given the overall noise level, eliminating music would be a mercy. But we recognize that a youthful crowd loves noise. Overall I would give a 4.7.

Everything was full-flavored without being too spicy. Creative and beautiful plating, and all the flavors worked really well together. Generous portions and thoughtful service! If we didn't live a few hours away we'd be back weekly! Easy to find free parking nearby.

Everything was lovely. The portions were rather small (even the big plates) but that allowed us to order more dishes and try more things. The risotto was perfect!
