What a wonderful tapas restaurant... The food, service and ambiance were all outstanding ? We tried so many great dishes and we loved all of them. This is a great Spanish tapas restaurant. We plan on coming back, many times.

This restaurant has absolutely wonderful food and service. Every dish I got on this visit was flavorful and perfectly cooked. Portions are very good for the price. They had a good number of vegetarian options as well (all delicious). Desserts are made in house. The decor felt a little dated, so I wouldn't choose this one for a fancy night out, but if you're looking for some delicious tapas, you won't go wrong here. Vegetarian options: There are a number of extremely tasty vegetarian options, potatoes dishes, mushroom dishes, delicious flat breads, cheese, grilled vegetables, etc.

Oh dear, going to keep this brief, as we're eager to leave to get more food elsewhere. If you're looking for authentic Spanish tapas, don't waste your time here. Service was great, food was very disappointing. We tried the tortilla, gazpacho, queso de cabra al horno, and pollo a la Navarra. We didn't finish our food. The table next to us got calamari or something, and the very fishy odor almost ruined our appetites. I feel bad leaving this review because the service was so good, and the staff so nice, but I cannot recommend this food to anyone who expects Spanish tapas.
