This restaurant offers a unique and delightful dining experience with tasty food and a personable server. Despite being crowded on special occasions, such as Mother's Day and Easter Brunch, the food quality remains high. With tapas-style dishes meant for sharing, diners can taste a variety of flavors in one visit. The ambiance and service are highly praised, although some seating arrangements can be less than ideal. Overall, this neighborhood gem provides a great meal worth every penny and is perfect for a fun night out with friends or a romantic date.

Food and drinks all delicious. Would come here just for their cocktails and the bikini sandwich ????. So simple but so perfect at same time. Loved that the truffle taste wasn?t overwhelming.

Was very excited for these tapas but unfortunately a majority of them were just not what we expected, especially for the price they are charging. They often seemed incomplete and unbalanced. For example, the uni scrambled egg had the smallest piece of uniand some cheap salmon roe with just decent tasting scrambled eggs underneath, not worth the price at all. Some dishes like thelamb meatballs and bikini sandwhich were great but too many misses to make up for the few hits.
