The place is incredible! I absolutely loved the food, the service, and the ambiance! Be sure to make reservations; you definitely don’t want to miss out! There's a fantastic patio in the back of the restaurant!

Came for a work dinner. Wonderful staff, all very friendly and accommodating. I had the lemon drop martini which was really really good, and I also really enjoyed the Wings. The outside back garden is absolutely gorgeous and I wish I had takenpictures, but I didn't want to disturb the other guests. If I'm ever in Ladysmith again, I will certainly come back.

This amazing Mexican/Spanish fusion restaurant serves delicious tapas, exquisite margaritas, and an exceptional dessert—especially the pot de crème with chipotle. The staff is friendly, attentive, and extremely helpful. I highly recommend it!

The drive from our campground south of Chemainus was definitely worth it! The owners are incredibly friendly and are happy to chat with you if you want. We visited with friends and were thrilled we decided to go! Every staff member welcomed us warmly, and the food was packed with flavor. We loved the tapas style, which allowed us to try a variety of dishes. The meatballs, mushrooms, shrimp, and a lot more are absolutely worth tasting! The restaurant isn't very big, so be sure to make a reservation or be ready to wait for a table. They also have a lovely, spacious patio out back for those warm summer days!

The food at this restaurant is outstanding. It's a Tapas place, so if you're in search of a full meal, it might not be the right choice for you. However, all the tapas combined create a very satisfying dinner, and every dish we tried was bursting with flavor. I would gladly dine here again.
