My family and I enjoyed a lovely meal for Christmas Eve after church. Although our reservation was for 7 we arrived about 15 minutes early and were seated right away. The staff were attentive and constantly came to the table to offer drinks, more bread, and filled up water glasses. We ordered paella, mussels, ribeye, scallops and seafood pasta. All were delicious. The restaurant seemed busy so it did take a little longer to get food but we were offered a deliciousness custard desert on the house for our wait.
