   I took my daughter on a mom and me date night. We had reservations for 8.30pm but weren’t seated till 9pm but I gave them a pass as it was super busy and we had same day reservations. The server was friendly and attentive. The Langosta ( lobster tail split in half) the sauce was excellent but you loose much of the lobster tail meat in the shell as it’s so hard to remove I felt I was fighting with it. The toast that accompanied it was dry and burnt probably from the busy night they were having. They were out of the Bistec (wagyu) the branzino and the lamb dishes. It was a Friday night and I felt they should have stocked better. The most disappointing dish of the evening was the Diver scallops. Two scallops for $21 felt like a rip off and it was. The taste of the dish was very good and the scallops were crusted perfectly but they need to make it 4 scallops to make it worth it. The Wagyu burger is the best dish for the price and you can’t really eat anything else after that but we shared the pork ribs after, that were the star of the evening. Saucy tangy well seasoned and tender. They keep pushing the Lomo (pork tenderloin) and I’m not sure why because it was dry and without any flavor especially in comparison to the pork ribs. The ribs are messy to eat but worth looking foolish in my opinion. The ambiance is a bit noisy but still elegant without being pretentious. The free dessert they bring out for special occasions, an icecream stuffed empanada fried with some red sauce, one could easily do without it. It just doesn’t do anything flavor wise and is empty calories. Despite the problematic dishes and late seating I would go back to try the bistec.

   Food was excellent. I had mentioned birthday celebrations with my reservation but nothing was ever acknowledged regarding the birthdays. A cool vibe in the restaurant. Would definitely go back as i love the tapas style dining!

   I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. The food was far below the standard you’d expect at these prices. As someone born and raised in Spain, I can confidently say the dishes lack the authentic flavors and taste of traditional Spanish cuisine. The service was equally underwhelming. It took 30 minutes to serve four small tapas plates, and unfortunately, the quality of the tapas didn’t make up for the wait. If you’re seeking a genuine Spanish dining experience, this isn’t the place. However, it might be fine for drinks and a casual hangout if you don’t mind a heavily Americanized take on Spanish food.

   Terrible service. After waiting 10 minutes at the hostess stand, we finally got a table and sat there for 10 minutes before a manager showed up and took our order for drinks and said our server would be right with us. It took another 5 minutes for the server to even come to our table the first time. When she finally showed up, the server apologized and said she had a couple of other large tables. Right then she should have asked for help with our two person table. Our drinks arrived at our table after the first dish arrived and 25 minutes after we sat down. Our food arrived one dish at a time every 10 minutes while every table around us arrived several dishes at a time. We understand tapas very well but for 4 shrimp to arrive alone and we sit for 10 minutes and then 2 empanadas to arrive and then sit for 10 minutes and so on. This is not an exaggeration on timing. Another dish ordered at same time as the others never arrived. The manager showed up after we asked our server for the check and said I'm so sorry the green beans haven't come out, we'll cover them. Seriously, we don't want them at this point, just the check. It took another 10 minutes for them to get us the check. We just wanted to leave at that point and couldn't even get the check. The whole thing was a wreck. Probably one of the worst dining experiences we've had. We won't be back- lots of other Atlanta restaurants that know how to manage the number of diners, especially ones with reservations.

   Our service was absolutely horrible . Waitress was both incompetent and rude. Had to leave without even being able to place our order- she literally ignored us. Management tried to be helpful and were professional but damage was done. I won't be returning.

   The meal was definitely on the pricey side but it was one of the best dinning experiences I’ve ever had. Completely worth the cost. The food was outstanding and the server was knowledgeable and friendly.

    Run , do not walk, the Iberian Pig delivers in unexpected ways. We did the wine/charcuterie tasting. Went downstairs for small bites , just delightful. Stacy , our server , is a pro.
