Paella is great. Bacon wrapped dates is a good choice in every restaurant . Creamy chicken croquettes were a bit salty. Duck meatball slider & crab toast were good but not amazing. Nice vibe and music .

Everything was amazing. Paella was some of the best I've had -- well worth the extra time for them to make it. Bacon wrapped dates , octopus , the list goes on! Favorite drink = buffalo soldier.

Great rest serving delicious tapas from a place that is actually a house. For more lively setting, ask to be seated in the backyard . Limited vegetarian options but delicious food & great cocktails .

Super chilled vibe with great outdoor patio seating , complete with a bar . Portions were bigger than we were used to for a tapas place so were stuffed before getting a chance to try out other stuff.

Julian Gonzalez

Great food & relaxing atmosphere . Sit outside on the back patio and bring your dog. They'll even bring out water bowls for your pet . Did I mention the tapas are delicious?

Sara Taylor

Gorgeous dog friendly back patio . Everything we had was delicious - definitely recommend the rum balls , peach tomato salad , and the paella

François

Great tapas , excellent calamari and crab stuffed piquillos, nice cocktails and good Spanish wine . Cozy outside space

I loved the creamy chicken croquettes ($7), each smaller than a golf ball but with a substantial crust that encases what tastes like exceptional creamed chicken . Read more

If you love Spanish wine and haven't tried it, consider the 2009 Numanthia Termes ($13/$28/$52), a lively , fruity red from the Toro region. Read more
