AmateurConcierge: Big beautiful dining room with seafood centric Spanish tapas. Pan con tomate, tuna app and the churros are a must. Paella was aiite
Saaran Zaman: The service was terrible, had to wait over 80 mins for the main courses. The tapas were average but the grilled squid was standout. The churros were mind blowingly good. Churros saved this place.
Bryan Powell: Not that great for the amount of money. The paella has good flavor although was very oily. Some of the tapas plates were really good. Mark up on the bottles of wine is crazy.

Elizabeth Burstein: Loved the bfast paella, the meat and cheese plate, cherry lime sangria, shishito peppers
