The music is fantastic, although it can occasionally be a bit loud for older patrons. I highly recommend this place to everyone. However, the location is somewhat tucked away, and I think they could thrive better in a more visible spot. After the pandemic, I suggest they consider relocating. Although I live near the Grove Mall, I would definitely visit more often if it were closer to me.

The menu is quite limited, and some items were unavailable, which leaves very few options. Ultimately, you end up choosing whatever will be quick. Additionally, the waiter didn't seem to know the menu well and wasn't able to offer helpful recommendations.

There were only three occupied tables during lunchtime in the middle of the week, yet we struggled to get adequate attention from our waiter. We even had to search for them to request the bill. Additionally, the presentation of the food was unappealing—just look at that burger drowning in sauce! It's hard to imagine how anyone could eat that elegantly.

You can’t order a few dishes and then order more unless you want to wait for hours. The grilled calamari, paella and papas bravas were quite good. We will return but we will order everything up front.
