Candice Martinez: The garlic shrimp and roasted potatoes with garlic Aioli are the best.
Justin Lokey: Disappointing, unless you love spoonfuls of mayo on every dish. The dishes were also all warm to cold, and too greasy. I wanted to love this place, but the only positive was the garlic aioli.
Artur Reszka: Very relaxed and casual atmosphere. Great Spanish food (make sure to try Almejas a La Marinera!) accompanied by reasonably priced decent red wines. Highly recommended!

Vanessa Ramirez: $10 carafes of sangria during happy hour and yummy tapas. My favorites are the potatoes with garlic aioli and the stewed zucchini.
Christine Røde: Best tapas I've had on this side of the Atlantic. The patatas braves are to die for, the paellas huge and delicious. If it's nice out, ask to sit on the back patio — it's lovely and romantic.
DouG Molidor: The closest you'll get to Barcelona without a passport

Dave Lievense: This place could compete with any of the great restaurants in Boston's North End (and that's saying something!). The gnocchi was life changing and the meatballs were melt in your mouth delicious.
Jaylynn Mitchell: Most amazing!! Alex the host is the best in the city, and be sure to try to the ravioli. It's to die for...
Kevin Cahill: Ravioli is ridiculous, beyond ridiculous. All the pasta is light and flavorful. One of the best pasta meals ever had

Natalie Burdick: An idyllic spot in the city with dedicated spaces for kids, sunbathers and pups off-leash. Great spot to watch Karl tease Sutro Tower...

timoni west: go when the grass is freshly cut, & dog-watch.
