I have always loved this restaurant. One of the best examples of a local eatery with an eye on quality. Service is amazing and the sangria - the best

Way overpriced! The food was good but it was $65 for lunch for just two people and we did not leave full. Also the iced tea is garbage and they charge $2.50 for a fountain drink. Won't be coming back!

Fritos de azul remain one of my most favorite tapas of all time. They are the tasty business!

They have a separate gluten free menu and gluten free bread. The bread is $1, but pretty good.

Watched them cater a wedding. I was not impressed by the one server who was wearing shorts and high top tennis shoes no socks or footies seen. Also not impressed by another server skipping .

Called at 5:50 for a party of 8. Arrived at 6:15 and FINALLY got seated at 7:51. They said that's typical.....I think NOT
John WheelerMarch 25, 2015
Overrated... The food is really good, but you will spend a ton of money for very little food. Glad we went once, but never again.

Horrible service. Host does not follow the wait list when seating. Managers were completely absent. Food was decent but way overpriced. Took over an hour for two people to eat lunch and leave.
