All of the food we tried was phenomenal, and our server was super prompt at keeping our drinks and waters filled and taking empty plates away. Every dish was .

“ Great overall. They ran out of pasta. But other dishes we got were pretty good. Also love their passion fruit cocktail. Good place for a couple of drinks and relax. ”
“ Food selection was good, preparation excellent! What a great place to try a new dish! Intimate atmosphere but could definitely handle a group of four to share the amazing dishes! Loved every minute from start to glorious dessert and we will be back. P.S. server was attentive but not over bearing and very informative! ”
“ Sat at the bar for an early dinner, but would definitely recommend a reservation for most evenings. We had an Americano and some wine, both of which were delicious. Starting with the scallop ceviche, calamari, and shrimp bucatini - everything was fresh and incredibly flavorful. The beef cheek was tender and equally tasty. I’d also highly recommend the avocado cheesecake to finish the meal off! ”
“ Amazing experience. Tapas did not disappoint, you could tell they were made to order and the portion sizes were larger than other tapas we’ve had. Would highly recommend ”
