Excellent service. Food was all cooked to perfections. We ordered Scallop, octopus, and empanadas for appetiser, all highly recommended. Spanish Fish and paella for main course. Both were uniquely spiced, not heavy, and meat was cooked just about right. That is my third time being at the restaurant. Never disappointed.

Restaurant was beautiful and service was excellent. The food was not as good as I had hoped . Some of the items were bland and salty. The shrimp app was listed as having saffron but really couldn’t tell. The Paella was good!

Enjoyed the overall experience and the food tasted very good. I did not like the presentation of my pork tenderloin and that diminished it for me a lot. It was such a messy looking dish (huge amount of salad was piled on top of the dish) that it did not match up with the vibe of the place and diminished my appetite. Also, tired of paying 17+ for a cocktail or glass of wine but, unfortunatley, that's everywhere these days!
