Christy Ham: Lamb dumplings...amazing. Loved the duck fried rice.
Andy Amendola: Awesome new space. Service was great -still working out kinks. Sad that the skirt steak was not available after it was recommended. Stracciatella great but Tiny.Burger 2much sauce. Heart, tartar good.
W Hughes: Lots of street parking nearby. Skip the ridiculous valet.
laura frohman: A hit on every level but the service, which could have been better. the outback was incredibly pleasant, the interior really lovely. We had truffle risotto gnocchi, lamb shank, branzino- all great.

David Batista: Pera al vino is my all time favorite dessert!
Blanca Rodriguez: The place is a bit small but the food is delicious. Really great customer service, nice ambiance, and fantastic paella make for a fabulous night on the town.
David Paul Appell: Cozy white-tablecloth veteran in Little Havana. NOT remotely a Cuban restaurant, BTW. Here the food is from Spain, especially the north of Spain. Tasty tapas, & try the veal in cabrales cheese sauce.
