    Delicious food. Excellent service, but the music was awful and loud. We weren't able to talk with our friends. It's not a good place to talk and enjoy dinner at the same time

    The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable but did not hang around and interrupt our dinner. The food was outstanding, the Patatas Bravas were crispy and flavorful, the octopus was tender and had just the right amount of char on it, and the churros were well balanced with a crunchy exterior a slightly chewy interior and not overly sweet like so many churros you get in a restaurant.

    Restaurant was bustling and lively with a great, warm atmosphere. Food was really good and the servers were very professional and attentive. Only comment is that it was super loud, we could hardly hear each other at a table of four. But good for them that they were so crowded! I totally recommend it, just know it may not be quiet.
