This is a fun date night. There is a spacious bar, cute decor and on Friday there was live music with Spanish guitar. Great happy hour deal, $3 small bites at the bar. Also, they have the BEST olives on the planet. The menu has great variety. I recommend the grilled shrimp, the goat cheese apps, and the skirt steak with blue cheese.
I highly recommend coming here for tapas. They have a wide selection of tapas which I love. They had live music when I went which was on Friday. The service was a bit slow for my liking but the food was delicious! This is one of the better tapas place food wise. I loved the datiles con tocino, patatas bravas, and the and the Empanada de Buey, but everything else we ordered was declined as well. I would have loved to try more items on their menu but I was so full. Their sangrias are also delicious and reasonably priced as well. For happy hour, they have half off tapas which is a good deal as well. I wish I lived a bit closer even though I walked here but it was a very long walk. The walk was more so to feel better after eating so much but it was worth it.
Great tapas and food!! We loved everything we ordered! The kids reordered TWICE of off the kids menu too! We had the bacon wrapped dates, patatas bravas, queso de Cabra. Sangria, octopus, and all was amazing! Service was really great too!
Walked in after a day at the McCormick. Had a big group but we were still accomodated properly. I forgot the name of the server but he was awesome. Where he's getting his energy from, i have no idea. Food was phenomenal, everything that was recommended and we tried were good. Service was exveptional and place had a good vibe.
Great Sunday night dinner with our daughter. The drinks and specials were delicious! The service was friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Our server was great! We had the Crema de Champiñones, Queso de Cabra, Pollo al Limon, and Arroz con Jamón Serrano. Two of these were from the specials menu and I hope they keep them. The Spanish music created a great ambiance and we were able to get a table without a reservation.
