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!

It was really convenient to have an early dinner before an evening Chicago Fire match at nearby Soldier Field.

The hostesses are friendly and welcoming, and the servers are fantastic. I have tried several of the cold tapas, hot tapas and entrees and loved each one. My favorites tapas so far have been the stuffed mushrooms, lamb chops, tiger shrimp and the avocado stuffed with ceviche. I absolutely love the Paella Mariscos and the branzino. My favorite dessert so far is the Almond Pound cake with pears. I can’t wait to go back and try other things on the menu.
