"It was super busy night but somehow I could book a table via their website, so I did. Waited 10min then got in. The foods were pretty good especially the paella. The cone looking thing is away smaller than I saw in the pic. But it’s good. Service was not fast but stuffs were very friendly. You should try at least once."

"Why? The theme of the meal was lots of Why’s. Before I dive in, the Service and Atmosphere were awesome. We ordered the tasting menu, which had some highlights including the Salmon Cones, the Steak and the Flan. Also, one of our Why’s is why are the portions so large for a tapas tasting menu, so you will not leave hungry. Every time we thought we were getting to goodness, a Why popped up. Why add cucumbers to the perfectly delicious avocado and goat cheese salad, cutting the creamy flavors with a sense of blandness. Why make the sauce for the peppers stuffed with goat cheese so bitter? Why make the bread sticks for dipping in the delicious gambones sauce so hard? I really liked the sauce, but my teeth hurt after the first bread stick bite… Worst of all, why add so much salt to the paella? Be sure to have lots of water on standby."

"Great cocktails and service. Our server Jordan was phenomenal at explaining the menu and answering our numerous questions with patience and grace. The Paella is overrated—if there was more of an entertainment factor of seeing it prepared closer it may be more worth the price tag of $100 for one plate . Prepare to spend $100+ pp if you’re hungry. Octopus was average but a cool taste if you’re new to seafood and worried about flavour. The Spanish bread with tomato sauce was great, the steak with peppers was great, and the chicken and cheese fried dish was good but a bit heavy so I’d order towards the beginning of the meal instead. Would return for drinks and service along with ambience."

"We did the tasting menu and it was a really great experience. The cocktails and sangria were solid. Just reminiscing about the dishes is making me hungry. Each dish was different and showcased a different key ingredient, technique or texture. The olive dish had a bit of a molecular gastronomy take and was a positive surprise. The desserts, both of them, we're really great. I was stuffed, but it was impossible to stop eating. If I'm going to be nitpicky, the shrimp got a bit mushy because it comes out on a hot skillet and we just couldn't eat it fast enough. I'm pretty sure the croquetas were supposed to come with sauce, but they were pretty good anyway. These were super minor issues, though. The only downside is that the tables were very close together and the people next to us were pretty drunk and very loud, which really took away from the hip atmosphere. The service was fantastic, though, so that tempered things a bit. Overall, a solid performance."

"The service here is incredible. Our server was Sunny and he was very attentive and corrected any mistake we had with our food promptly. I like how the manager checked in on us occasionally as well. The food was tasty and filling. I wish I had room for more food but I’ll definitely come back to try other dishes. The drinks were tasty I had a spicy margarita and the sangria. I usually don’t like flan but they made it pretty good here."
