We ordered the skirt steak cooked to perfection topped with an amazing spicy chimichurri and creamy sauce. Our sides consisted of mac and cheese (probably wouldn?torder again even though it wasn?t bad), and corn esquites. Very good but what made our meal was the grilled bone marrow rajaswith grilled bread. Phenomenal! All in all, it was an enjoyable evening accompanied by exquisite food. I will return soon withmy husband for date night.

My girlfriend and I had trouble picking items to eat because everything sounded amazing but I will say that everything we ended up ordering was delicious. The staff was very friendly. I will be coming backhere. Update: stopped here again a 2 years later and the food is still amazing. This time we had a party of 4 and I'll saythese plates were designed for only 2 people. Make sure to double your order if eating with more than 2. The bone marrow iscrazy good, but we also had the fish, burger, tacos, mushrooms and a few other things. A+

Haven't been back in many years. They have a DJ and it was a full house that night! Elaborate menu of tapa dishes. I noticed a lot of monchego cheese used in at least 1/3rd of their menu. Ordered the bone marrow(Not enoughmarrow! , grilled octopus, albondigas, bacon wrapped monchego cheese filled dates, and probably another dish but I cannotremember! The best was the dates and grilled octopus!! Octopus was perfectly grilled and tender. I wish there was more!Unfortunately, I was too busy enjoying the ambience and food that I took no photos. Bad me! I'll have to come backagain! Service was great. Discovered a malbec that was pretty good! Free parking across the street in the garage and there aresurrounding public lots and street parking as well. The ambience was lovely. Great spot for a date gentlemen! Keep that in mindhehe.

The menu features an extensive selection of tapas dishes. I noticed that Manchego cheese was a key ingredient in about a third of their offerings. Some standout dishes included the bone marrow (which could use a bit more promotion!), grilled octopus, albondigas, and bacon-wrapped Manchego-filled delights. I might be forgetting a few items! The highlights for me were definitely the dates and the perfectly grilled octopus—it was so delicate and I just wished there was more of it! Unfortunately, I was so wrapped up in enjoying the food and ambiance that I forgot to take any photos—my bad! I definitely plan to return. The service was excellent, and I discovered a really good Malbec. There’s free parking available on the street in the garage, as well as nearby public lots and street parking. The ambiance was beautiful, making it a great spot for a date, gentlemen! Don’t forget that!

Bacon wrapped dates, esquites, empanada, vegan taco, Lobster mashed potatoes... The wines, the beers, and just the fabulous vibe. Servers, chefs, table staff all so friendly and fun. The service is a little slow, but honestly it's forgivable when everything else is so spot on!

Service is great, servers are always super busy, but all of them are available to help you. It can get very loud, but the people are having a good time! Thank you, I always recommend Phlight!

Their menu features an impressive selection of tapas with generous portions and diverse options, ranging from straightforward to complex. The atmosphere and menu beautifully blend Spanish and Mexican flavors. Every dish I tried was delightful, freshly prepared by clearly skilled and inventive chefs.

Phlight offers a delicious menu with a great variety of wines. The dishes come in small plates, making them ideal for sharing. read more Phlight offers a delicious menu with a great variety of wines. The dishes come in small plates, making them ideal for sharing.

We ordered the skirt steak from the menu, cooked perfectly and topped with a fantastic spicy chimichurri and a creamy sauce. For sides, we tried the mac and cheese, which was okay but probably not something we'd order again, and the corn esquites, which were excellent. The highlight of the meal was definitely the grilled bone marrow with rajas, served with grilled bread—simply phenomenal! Overall, we enjoyed a wonderful evening with exquisite food. I’m definitely planning to return soon with my husband for a date night.
