I was not expecting the tortilla española to be ice cold. Room temperature would have been fine. Ice cold eas a bit shocking. We also ordered salmon, patatas bravas (my favorite! and queso de cabra. All were accompanied by a flight of sangria. The white wine with peach was the best!

The portions are decent, and the food tastes good. I had the Paella Camposina, which is a vegetable paella; it was alright, but I've had better. The skirt steak was excellent, especially paired with the roasted red peppers. The croquettes were absolutely delicious. The service was outstanding as well, so my only real complaint is the high price. I'm not entirely sure I would label it as completely authentic Spanish cuisine, but it comes pretty close. We used to be fans of Cafe Ibérico, which has now closed, so this is our second choice!

The service was outstanding! The live music was so enjoyable. Selection and food was very good. Looking forward to going again! read more The service was outstanding! The live music was so enjoyable. Selection and food was very good. Looking forward to going again!
