The food here was really good. I'm not Spanish but I have spent time in Spain and I am familiar with tapas. We were not super hungry because we had a huge lunch, so sharing a few tapas was a great way to get a small dinner. The eggplant and feta was cooked perfectly and the saltiness of the feta was a nice compliment. The croquetas de jamon had a nice flavor. The owner also told us we could order a cheese plate off-menu with many of his European cheeses. They were all nice. He also brought us some dessert bites to try on the house, which was super nice of him. All three desserts we tried were fantastic. I would definitely come back here. The only down side is the lighting is a bit too dim.
My taste-buds rejoiced every moment spent here! Service: The morning server was welcoming and attentive towards the guests. I accidentally left my accessories which were kept safe by the staffs and I am very thankful! Food: I was provided with various complimentary samples while my order was being prepared! Every dish was perfection. I can’t recommend this place enough and can’t wait to go back again.
My go to place for Spanish food. The food here is amazing and the chef keeps trying new and creative dishes. Many ingredients are directly sources from Spanish which gives the authentic taste. The staff are very friendly and attentive towards the guest. They have a parking is behind the building which makes it easier.
