- Davinci VirtualJune 22, 2011Chef Jose Garces serves authentic Spanish tapas perfectly paired with cocktails that make for a delicious night out. Artichoke and wild mushroom flatbread is a must have!
Yael MaxwellAugust 8, 2010Go here! Even if you can't get a reservation ask to be put on the waitlist. Very romantic. Get the white sangria, fried anchovies and saffron rice pudding.
Foodie & The BeastDecember 26, 2014Loved the ham croquettes, crab stuffed piquetos and cheese plate.

AleOctober 31, 2020Patatas bravas were a huge disappointment; french fries sprinkled with a stint of sauce 🍃Dishes also came in a very random order; I wouldn't come back!
Lindsay DugganSeptember 15, 2011The cheese plate with the garlice dulce de leche never gets old, I order it every time!
Cora AngJune 26, 2011Get sangria by the jug! The cinnamon stick they add really bring out the taste!
