No good Spanish food. I'm Spaniard and the food here tonight was not like in SpIn at all.. Avoid this restaurant since it is also a bit pricy for what you get.. The paella was burnt and not good..

Potatoes Bravas are so delicious and we licked the bowl clean from our braised lamb.

Excellent choice for contemporary Spanish inspired cuisine.

Order anything, it's all good - but the fried anchovies and lemons are extra special!

If you only get one item here - it has to be the squid ink pasta.
Todd G.October 25, 2012
No idea what the fuss is about. Seriously some of the worst tapas I've ever had. We had about 8 dishes between four people. The octopus was killer, but everything else was near inedible. Skip it.

Tapas and drinks!
Ellen C.March 21, 2012
Stick to other recommendations and skip the cod. The potatoes are almost sweet - way too sweet to pair with fish.
