    Noisy Christmas lunch with a prospect was difficult to hear the conversation. I anticipated this and the staff tried to accomodate me with a quieter table.

    Had a reservation and no one came by for 20 mins. I had to ask a staff member passing by to order as we were on lunch and did not have the luxury to sit for 2 hours! Service was good, but the slight discount does not suffice.

    The food was nasty. And nothing in there is actually Spanish. They might as well be called Dubai tavern or Napoles tavern …

    Food and service were great! The Alberta salad seemed to be a much smaller portion than in the past but its delicious, as were the ribs and pizza. It would be nice if you’d consider a wine feature on Thursday so we could make this a standing Thursday reso 😊
