        Not my favorite concept. The food was small and expensive making it hard to share with a larger group. I get its tapas style, but this isn’t tapas.

        Slow to be acknowledged but once the rush was over service was good. All 6 small plates were delicious.

        Our food, drinks and appetizers came out all at the same time. It used to be my favorite restaurant, but do not go there. There is a lot of turnover in the kitchen, cannot keep people hired and we had to send our food back because it was raw and cold. Two servers and one tried offering dessert even though we had not received our food. It was awful.

        The service was poor. We had to wait a very long time to be acknowledged, and even longer to have our order to taken.

        Love the brunch menu. The food didn’t disappoint. I love coming on sundays to hear the Dj “Arie Spins” she so sweet and makes sure we have a good vibe.
