    Wonderful neighborhood place, small, cozy, friendly, delicious. Chef Alex came by to greet guests, and the Spanish/Venezuelan fusion was fab -- especially the tapas. Would love it if one of the paellas had a sofrito option (crispy rice bottom) but the paellas on hand were delicious and the seafood very fresh.

    Upon being seated for our reservation we were never brought water. We had to ask twice. The first time we were only given cups but not water. Groups that arrived after us were given water right away. We also ordered sangria carafes which were mostly ice and overall watered down. After an hour passed we were still having our drinks when we were told we needed to leave because they wanted the table. When the waitress brought the bill I started to ask if there is a typical time limit to their reservations but she ignored me and walked away. We were very disappointed with the service. While the food was good, we will not be returning.

    The food is varied and delicious. The sangria was also quite good. It is a casual spot in a good location for a pre-Broadway dinner.

    Small little place with the perfect ambiance! We had an absolutely amazing meal! Everything was delicious! Our server was fabulous! Hostess was friendly! And the man cooking who I assume is the owner and his wife were so friendly! Can’t wait to go back!

    Tiny place with a variety of paellas and a number of tapas, leaning heavily toward ham and sausage. Sweet plantains with cheese were tasty. But white sangria was mostly about canned peaches

    Read high reviews of this place but the food we had, which were mainly appetizers, was really bad. Been to many Venezuelan and Spanish restaurants and recommend you look elsewhere. The server was nice enough but food and drinks we had were just not good. Confused on high reviews and mentions in videos I saw

    Saturday weekend date night... great paella, tasty appetizers, delicious desserts, and amazing sangria's of many flavors! Service was excellent with friendly staff/servers, and the atmosphere was very cozy. Will definitely be back for another visit and to try more of the food that this awesome restaurant has to offer.
