    The vibe was nice,I love how colorful the restaurant is and the hostess was warm and welcoming. The food was good. I asked about the Market Veggie Hash. They mentioned it’s a mix of veggies including potatoes, and the poached egg. So I ordered it. I was surprised to see it’s more like a chunky pasta sauce due to being mixed in a lot of tomato sauce. It looked a little like Shakshuka but with a thinner liquid like sauce. It was good, but just not what I was expecting. I think of hash as more potato-y and not so much tomato-y. We also had the Smoked Salmon Crostini that was very tasty :) I would probably go back.

    I had high hopes for Red Window as a brunch place, but the omelet I ordered was not good, with runny egg whites. I’ve never had an omelet that was so bad.

    Great food, service. Meatballs were awesome! Soda does not come from a fountain. Either bottled or can. Mexican Coke is the best!!!

    We had a very large group for my 50th birthday, and everyone at the restaurant was so accommodating from start to finish. Our server Ryan was amazing, he worked so hard and kept us all with drinks in our hands and food on our table the whole time. It’s a beautiful and charming restaurant. A wonderful experience!

    Overall a very nice experience. All the tapas were good. The crispy cauliflower and the shrimp stood out. Caesar salad was excellent as were the albondigas.
