We had a hard time choosing because everything looked so good. But choose we must and every item that we ordered, we enjoyed. The bacon wrapped dates were sweet and savory mix of a candy like texture. The fire roasted mushroom were awesome and so flavorful. I found a new love in burrata because of this place. We ordered 6-7... More

I live close by so I have been a few time out of convenience but I wish the food was better. I love the concept and the tapa tradition but the food is always a little off. Either it's cold of taste is off or whatever,. I would say its more hope than hip. More

I'll keep this short and sweet... Superb restaurant - excellent quality food with good portion sizes. The staff were brilliant - very friendly and accommodating. Attentive, but not overly so - just the right mix of friendliness and service. One lady even got me the recipe for their amazing catalan cream from the chef for me! Atmosphere is good -... More

Worst customer service ever. I had a Groupon coupon and was anxious to try out this restaurant. I called the restaurant number around 10 AM on a Wednesday, got an answering machine, and left a message asking for a reservation at 7 PM with my phone number. Was dubious as to whether anyone was actually paying attention to messages, as... More

This hole-in-the-wall restaurant definitely caters to the lively crowd. The ambience is loud, almost too much for the size of the place, but if you're up for an active night with good food - this is the place. Good for a date, if you get a back table, but better for a group of friends. It's Bring your own Bottle... More
