Restaurant has a rustic vibe serving Spanish fusion food. There's also a bar with interesting cocktails. Food was ok but drinks were amazing!

Great restaurant with wonderful food! The menu has a little something for everyone - though I don't recall anything vegan (but vegans are used to that...) - however everything I had was fantastic and I had a lot! I was here for a business meeting of about 12 people and they had no trouble accommodating us. More impressive was the way they served us - they brought a little bit of everything in waves. So they brought us 6 appetizers of different kinds, about 9 entrees and so on. These were served family style so you just took a little and put it on your plate. The big thing here is the grill (I know it has Oven in the name but...) a lot of really good grilled items - including veggies. The grill smell was a little overwhelming but mostly it just smelled good. The environment was extremely warm and inviting - we were off in a room to the side - the "normal" part of the restaurant was very cozy however. It is an open floor plan meaning you can see from the entry doorway all the way to the back of the kitchen when you walk in. This also makes it a little bit loud - not overly so but when packed with people having a good time and music you notice it. I imagine hitting it during the week or later in the evening would make it a very romantic spot though. The service was also great and we had multiple folks check in on us and make sure all was well - it was. Our situation was special but I could see the wait staff hustling around and felt like it was a good team. Lastly, the overall bill was fair and reasonable for what we were getting - well crafted, imaginative (highly so in some cases), professionally served and original dishes. It's not a chain or fast food so expect the pay a little more. Enjoy!

If you're reading this review and are surprised by the 3 Stars, this place isn't bad. However, for the price and the reputation of the restaurant, the whole experience was somewhat underwhelming. None of the dishes were particularly memorable. The service was good, and the location is cool, but if the food is kinda meh.

Never expected to find such an excellent restaurant in Birmingham. Fantastic selection of great small plates in a really authentic comfortable interior (also nice outdoor garden setting when the weather is tolerable). Not to be missed if you visit Birmingham. It will definitely raise your opinion of the culinary scene there and give you a dining memory that will stay with you.
