    The food was great. The night before we ate in a another Spanish restaurant but no comparison. I thought the prices were very reasonable. Recommend the red sandria and the croquetas de jamon.

    The restaurant’s food and atmosphere were excellent. However, what made our experience even more special was the kindness of Supervisor Sally, who assisted us with our dietary preferences.

    We had a ladies night with a party of 8, everyone had a wonderful time. I highly recommend just doing the chef's selections, this takes the pressure off of you to make decisions, and everything was fun to try. Would definitely do this again!

    Great place for a family celebration! We had a bottle of wine and the wine and cheese “select 6” to start, followed by a couple of tapas, and rounded it all out with a yummy seafood paella. Then, the guest of honor was surprised with a birthday dessert of mini churros with melted chocolate for dipping. We walked with full, happy tummies to the Arena. Overall, the perfect celebration of our son’s 31st birthday!

    We went for a birthday celebration and we’re pleasantly surprised with the restaurant week menu. It was fantastic and made our evening as we shared lots of delicious tapas. The music and buzzy atmosphere made it a great date night.

    Wait staff was great. The food was good. It took some time to find food not beef, pork, or chicken. The food came out backwards. Shrimp, salad, mushrooms, salads, ham and manchego, etc. Thankfully the drinks came first.

    Hi Danielle, We appreciate your feedback about our wait staff and the quality of the food. It’s unfortunate that the food arrived in the wrong order, and we sincerely apologize for that inconvenience. Your experience is important to us, and we will work on improving our service. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon! Danielle Miranda, General Manager
