    This is amazing. Great staff. Delicious beverages, the atmosphere accents the depth of a creative menu. Spanish cuisine, small plates. Dive into the Sardines. Delicious! Check out upstairs speak easy.

    Fantastic tapas! Great drinks. Solid service. Dont skip the bacon wrapped dates or grilled octopus. Cant go wrong!

    Super tender, delicious scallops. Fresh, lovely gazpacho. Gin and tonics on ice like sangria are great with the bitters and/or herbs.

    Try the "Vieiras a la Plancha con Citricos y Nueces" (grilled scallops, oranges, walnuts, shaved fennel, and mint). Also, give a pitcher of red sangria a shot. Why not?

    Tuesdays and Sundays there is an unlimited tapas menu for $20 ($25 with a drink). It's delicious and definitely worth the money!

    Having been throughout Spain sampling various tapas joints, this place is on spot on! Great flavors and some thought behind the flavors!

    Unique tapas, different from Ba Ba Reeba. Smaller menu. Good but BBR is better. L

    The sangria is served out of a perron. It is overpriced and not very good. Inconvenient if your dining for two. You will be seated in an area that feels stuffy and un intimate.

    I seriously don't know what all the hype is about. This is far from authentic tapas, & certainly not the best in Chicago! They don't even give you free refills on iced tea here! 6 plates, 4 teas = $80

    Four seats at the back bar are HOT but worth the view of the kitchen in action!

    The flavors aren’t new, and they’re not especially bold. But they’re nothing if not satisfying. Read more

    I agree not true tapa's, everything needed seasoning or was over seasoned. Won't be back!
