We had the asparagus fries, chili shrimp and some buffalo wings. All were really good. The wings were complimentary at the bar when you order a drink. Great value and great taste.

Get the dessert special first because it is perfect and so good! And then have one of everything. Well try the tapas paella, the apples and goat cheese and the spinach and portabello mushroom.

Absolutely amazing food. We had 6 plates of meat, seafood and vegetables. The meat was cooked to perfection! I would definitely recommend this place. A great place to get lunch or dinner off 70 in MD

We shared several of their tapas dishes and it all was great. However my top three were the Vieras, asparagus fritos,and the Lomo de buey (hanger steak). Ask for Paxton. She is a server extraordinaire

Wonderful selections! Highly recommend the queso frito and pan con Costilla de Ternera! Great atmosphere and quick service.

Had a large group (15 people) service was great, not everyone was thrilled with the price per portion but the general consensus was the food was delicious. Paella was a favorite

Besides the great food; asparagus fries, anything goat cheese, try and get a seat in the window for some of the best people watching in Frederick!! My wife's and my favorite place.

The scallops lobster risotto were excellent, as we're the brussels.

The around ten security guys are a little unnecessary on Saturday nights. Other than that, a lot of beautiful women in the joint!

Crowd pleasers are the asparagus fries, goat cheese fritters, and dates w/goat cheese wrapped in bacon. Try some of the specials, though, too! :-)

This was a great experience, even though we did not have a reservation they treated us very well

The food is excellent. I've never had a bad experience. The worst part is choosing what to get!

5-6 tapas is usually a good amount of food to split between 2 people.
