    Fantastic Dining Experience The food quality was excellent! The tapas selection, including the steak tips, crab cakes, scallops, and clams, was superb—each dish was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. While parking was initially a challenge, the extremely considerate staff quickly provided clear directions, making it a non-issue. The sangria was so good, it was almost dangerous! Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for top-notch food and service.

    Fantastic dishes, we sampled many plates and apps, all of which were prepared with skill and each had great flavor. The red and gold beets, grilled octopus, and poutine were standouts! Our entrees were also great—the ribeye we had was excellent. Cocktails were perfect too. Excellent service, just all around a wonderful experience and definitely going back!

    The waiters were so sweet very attractive very kind. The small plates were fine nothing out of this world, but still good. The paella was honestly a little sad. The rice didn’t have any flavor to be honest.

    We went here for dinner at 5:30, so I it may not be true of a later crowded space, but the tapas & service were outstanding at that time. We can't wait to go back when the weather is better to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful views.
