The food was delicious. We loved everything we tried . Too bad the restaurant is in a hotel. It had that typical hotel restaurant ambiance -- none. Kind of like a cafeteria with a bar. And one of our party had to go fetch a waiter finally to take our order. We waited long enough that we ordered drinks and food at one time.

Great experience for a large group. All the tapas were delicious, and we especially enjoyed all the sauces (looking at you, lobster empanadas). Service was on point and we never had to wait long for service, refills, etc. Highly recommend.

Steer clear. The food was meh but expensive. Our server was relatively inattentive. It was a Saturday night and they had booked several large parties (including a bridal shower) which they could not really handle as we were seated 20 minutes after our reservation time. It was very noisy- large rooms full of hard services so all you could hear was a general buzz, making it hard to hear the people at our small table of three. To make matters worse they has music coming through the speakers that added not ambience but just upped the noise level.
