   I was disappointed with the overall service. Our drinks took a long time to come out and at one point there was no one behind the bar making drinks. The method to split the bill was convenient in theory but the cell service was bad and it meant one more thing the customer was required to do. Also, I had tried to be conscious of our lateness for our reservation by calling and communicating so they could give up our tables if needed. I still got marked as a no show even though we actually came in a little past our reservation time and the place was relatively dead and they were able to sit our party of 10 right away and just asked that we get them the table back by 6:15. We were out well before that because we just had the one round of drinks

   We ordered paella immediately upon sitting, as our waiter advised it would take 40 minutes. However, it arrived after 90 minutes, with other dishes taking 30 minutes each. Despite the delicious food (bit too salty) and friendly service, the extended wait times left us disappointed with the overall experience.

   Drink menu is very strange and they don’t have a full bar. Drinks were also extremely weak. Food was tiny portions, even for a tapas place. For alllll the other places around, I’d skip this one.

   Drinks were fabulous, food was delicious, and atmosphere was as great as it always is. The whole staff from the front desk to the manager, (Joe maybe) were so kind. Big thanks for shipping my hat back to me!

   My first time here and the ambience was the stand out with service a close second. A pretty buzzy place with what looked to be a completely full house. The food was unfortunately mixed. We did the Experience flight and the patatas bravas were flat as were the brussels sprouts and desert / churros. We did appreciate the accommodation of fitting octopus into the flight, and it was very good. The other items were good, but not remarkable. I’d probably give the flight another shot hoping this experience was a misfire. I’d definitely go back for drinks.

   Menu is tedious to read ... should simplify. Also suggest having larger sharable plates.
