It took nearly an hour to receive our food, which was both bland and served in small portions (think crostini size for a whole tapas). I don't mind paying more for smaller servings if the flavor is good, but everything on our plates tasted like it had no seasoning at all - not even salt. Dry, flavorless, and overall a bad meal. The beef skewer was small and chewy, yet cost $12. The attached picture shows what we received for $62. Don't be misled into thinking this is worth your money. For a truly great meal, I recommend heading to Restaurant Christine just down the road. Save yourself the time and money by avoiding this place.

The food was flavorless and the portions were very small (even for tapas). It took an hour for our food to arrive. The service was lacking, with little attention and no water refills. We left the restaurant still hungry. We have eaten better food for half the price elsewhere. Save your money and time by avoiding this place. You'll feel ripped off, just like we did.

A little jewel of a restaurant in the heart of Green Lake. All the tapas and pinchos we had were great! The smoked waygu skewer was fantastic served with the smoke in a bottle with the skewer. The meatballs on a bed of polenta and ricotta was fantastic. Crab/caviar pinchos was great as was the white boquero anchovy pinchos and we've been to San Sebastian in Spain and done a pinchos tour so we know! The wine flight of 3 glasses was a real value and tasted great too. We were just too full to try the sushi which is supposed to be just as good. Highly recommended. We'll be going back ... and soon!

This was the second time we tried it, after having a similar experience the first time around. We gave them the benefit of the doubt, shame on us.Also, check out the photo of the tuna roll where’s the tuna?!??

The food is amazing! Highly recommended (1) bulgogi pincho (2) Foie Gras torchon (3) Yellowtail (so refreshing and goes well with other food). Also, they have flights for white wine, red wine, sherry, beer: this makes ordering drink so easy and you got chance to try out different stuff! Overall highly highly recommended it!
