The place was welcoming. I was surprised as soon as I opened the door by a nice atmosphere with soft music.
The waiter James received with us warmth, was knowledgeable about the menu and gave us excellent recommendations. We were given samples with no hassles (for the sangrias). I decided for a pilsner which was exactly what I needed.
The food we had was varied. We had shrimp, pork, lamb, mushroom, tacos, salad and dessert. I am skeptical of places with large menus but they seem to have things figured out. Everything had a unique touch and a great taste.
We left with a good taste in our mouth and joy in our spirits.
This place is a hidden gem...unpretentious and the staff works with diligence to make you feel welcome.
Certainly not fancy but comfortable and cool atmosphere.
James our server, was buttoned up and spot on with the details.
Food: creative with great attention to flavors that scream care and talent in the kitchen. It's easy to identify a Chef that loves their craft and is great at it.
I found a dish on their website that was not on the current menu and the Chef graciously prepared it.
Even the bartender checked to make certain drinks were to our liking.
I hope this team stays together; they will make a mark.
Had an amazing birthday here not too long ago, so I decided to order some paella for my cocktail club I was hosting this weekend. I had friends coming over at 4:30 on Saturday but the kitchen didn’t open until then. On Friday I talked with the chef Alfredo and he graciously agreed to have paella ready for me at 4 pm the following day. My friends and I were blown away. Not only did our mouths water at the site of the food but it tasted even better. My husband and kids had planned to go out to dinner to let my friends and I hang out, but once they saw the paella they couldn’t pass it up.
My friends talked about having cocktail club at the restaurant next time. It’s that good. Thanks for being so accommodating chef Alfredo!
It’s a good Spanish restaurant but a bit pricy, I think. The potion of ceviche was not to share, paella was for two people, a glass of wine costed $14. All was still good tho.

James, Brooke, James, Brooke who do I love the most? You two and Jacqueline made our visit so much fun! Hard working but still had time to smile and chat. Your personality are excellent.
We had lots of different small plates and our two favorites, the shrimp, and scallops but everything was perfect. A lot of great flavors and it was like a circus in my mouth, lol, they also had a good Spanish wine list.
I WOULD RECOMMEND
