    Just ok. Not traditional Spanish food, but overpriced and lack of flavor for what you get.

    Wonderful food, but the restaurant was loud and a bit too crowded to walk around in. We will return to try additional dishes in the future.

    We are sorry to hear it was a bit too loud and crowded for your preference Jeffrey, but we really appreciate your kind words and are so happy to hear that you will be coming back. For a quieter night, please give us a try on a weekend night when things tend to be mellower. Thanks so much!

    We’ve gone one other time and had great food, this last time well, probably the last time we dine here. Paella was so scorched everything tasted burnt and the rice was crusty black, kept running out of water and drinks. Staff was friendly enough but nonexistent unless flagged down, and certainly nonappologetic about the lack of service and burnt food.
    Gabi JamesResponded 3 days ago
    We are sorry to hear that your paella was overcooked and that you did not receive the service we hope to give. We hope that you will give us another shot. Happy holidays1

    Booked for 2 people OUTSIDE table and was give an inside table instead, as the server said the 2 side by side 2 tops was for a larger party of 4 at 6:15 which turned out to be 2 people. Rude, arragant waiter and management. Food is over priced. Go elsewhere. Feels like they could care less.
    Gabi JamesResponded 3 days ago
    Valerie, we are very sorry that we were not able to accommodate giving you one of the larger tables on the patio. Unfortunately on such a busy night, like the Holiday Stroll we have to use the larger tables for larger parties and there would have been a long wait for one of the smaller tables. The table that was sat after you was for 4 but only 2 arrived to start. We always try to do our best to get everyone the tables they request and apologize that we were unable to that evening. We tried to give you the next best thing by giving you the table one the edge of the outdoors and are sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy it. We are very sorry that you did not enjoy your experience.

    Our dinner was out of this world! The torta de papa creamy and light! The cocktail was refreshing and brewer than your standard gin cocktail. My steak was flavorful and tender, grilled perfectly. Can’t wait to go back!

    The food was excellent (as always) and the service was great! They make a fabulous martini- huge selection of special gins. The skirt steak was one of the best I've ever had!
