Jess N.Jess Naldo: Let's be real: You came here for the adult "Capri Sun," but food, you can't go wrong with any of the tapas. Faves are the avocado, tacos, kimchi paella, soft shell crab and the steak. So, everything.

Jess L.Jess L: Edamame dumplings were insanely good. Avocado starter (fresh, good flavor), kimchi paella, mapo tofu (spicy for sure) were all delicious. Service was very friendly, accommodating, and compassionate

BethBeth: Siamese paella had no spice. Dull flavor, yummy seafood except mussels were over cooked. In contrast the lamb entree was very good but very spicy! Good appetizer and inexpensive was squid.

Faina I.Faina Ibragimova: Stay away from the paella! It had the most pungent smell of dog food and it tasted absolutely repulsive. We couldn't keep it at our table, because the smell was ruining everyone else's dinner.

Lady S.Lady Smile: Their drinks are great and really strong for a boozy brunch. I really enjoy their Benedict's. Haven't gotten around to trying more.
