This restaurant prices were high, portions small and not authentic Spanish. The paella is tomatoe sauce based and not saffron rice. The octopus has more potatoe salad than octopus and the dessert menu doesn’t even have churros con chocolate. The reataurant is beautiful inside but not a reataurant that i would go to again! ps - tacos are mexican and not from spain!!

We were happy to try out this new Spanish restaurant in our area. We were blown away by their fantastic job creating a lovely, inviting setting. It truly is a beautiful space. If only everything else matched. Firstly, my partner enjoys having a cocktail before served appetizers and requested that from our waitress. The chef had other ideas, so the waitress brought the apps during our drinks. The staff hovered over us during the entire meal, waiting to take our plates away and get the next. We felt very rushed. We ordered the shrimp ajillo, a basic Spanish dish...nothing but ordinary, and the croquettes, which were too well done. We shared the seafood paella as it usually is large and has a forty-something price, so we assumed it would be. There were a few shrimp, maybe two scallops, a couple of clams, and several minute mussels, which were also overcooked. The rice itself was too tomatoey and burnt around the edges. If you want great paella in this area, go to Ibiza in Chappaqua, even if it is off the menu. It's almost big enough for four, filled with seafood, and perfectly cooked. It is disappointing that such a beautiful restaurant doesn't have great food to match. But, for those who do not have discerning tastebuds for inspiring Spanish food, they may be successful.
