The octopus was the star of the night. The pallea is a bit overpriced. Overall great place great service. Intimate setting excellent for date night!

This is a 5 star Legacy restaurant in charming Redondo Beach Village. Great location. Most sophisticated bar Crystin and Lisa serve the finest cocktails. Try everything. Its all good.

We were a table of 6 seated in the back, near the kitchen, which was almost definitely the quietest place. It was still fairly loud and somewhat difficult to hear the people at our table.

As far as the food, we were mostly very happy. The dates, mushroom dish, turkey meatballs (two orders of these, one perfect, one overcooked), skirt steak, squash dish, and the queso bites (these were excellent with both the chorizo and ham) were all at least above average. I would say no particular dish stood out that I'd need to come back for, but the overall meal was very good.

The service was really good - our server was very attentive, and the runners kept our waters topped up consistently. Most of the drinks were enjoyed by all, though they varied a bit in strength (some just right and some a bit heavy-handed - that's the best way to make a mistake).

This is a good tapas restaurant, and the only of its kind in the area. I enjoyed it and will be back when I'm in the mood for that type of dining.

Gabi James is so unique with a phenomenal menu and superb service. The decor and atmosphere adds to a great dining experience.
Now there is lovely outdoor dining!

Delicious french toast. Rest was empty for brunch for whatever reason but very tasty food and good gin and tonic.
