Julian was a wonderful server. The food was great. We ordered a “pitcher of sangria” and expected red wine- no they brought champagne and it was the most expensive on the menu $72!!! Not worth it at all. It wasn’t even muddled fruit. It was champagne over ice and fresh orange slices. That was a huge disappointment. BUT- the bacalao was scrumptious and the rest was quite tasty.

1000/10 Recommend My boyfriend and I were visiting D.C for his birthday trip. We both wanted to try paella and we were not disappointed. Everything from the drinks to the tapas to paella was incredible. We went on a Saturday, it was lively and the perfect date night spot. There was even live music with a dancer. The service was impeccable I never needed to think “where’s my waiter i need something?” Best service i’ve received at any restaurant ever. This place is at the top of my list when i’m back in D.C!
