   We were disappointed, and thought the food wasn’t as good as in the past. The olives were nothing but green olives stuffed with pimentos. Pretty sure that in the past it was assorted Spanish olives, green and black. Mussels appetizer was good but temp wasn’t very hot. The paella Matadora came without any of the chicken or chorizo listed on the menu. When asked about it they brought a small dish with some chicken and chorizo. On the flip side, cocktails were good, and there is a nice selection of wines by the glass, not just the usual Chardonnay/Sauvignon Blanc/Cabernet/Pinor Noir..

   The food was delicious. The service was slow & it took a long time to get a drink at the bar.

   Decent restaurant with good service. Tapas are extremely small and overpriced. $22 for a small piece of octopus and $13 for the street corn (which was 1 ear of corn split in half). Steak was good however, sides are extra. $11 for asparagus (5). NY Strip close to double what it is at a lot of restaurants ($44). Put us at a table in the back corner by big windows, which made it cold and a speaker with loud music on directly overhead. Good to try but can find better places for $200 (for 2 meals, 2 tapas, 1 sangria, 1 desert and a diet pepsi).

   Food and service were great. The only issue was all the screaming coming from the indoor pool that is right by the restaurant.

    Good food, but no soul to the place; not even music in the background. At least the poor bartender/waiter running all over was very professional and welcoming.
