Great place for tapas and a lovely atmosphere. Beautiful indoor and outdoor seating, for different ambiance styles. The cheese plate was absolutely perfect. And black squid ink paella is the best! Our server was super welcoming and professional.

Delicious food. Interesting menu. Everything from appetizers, tapas, mains, desserts are wonderful. The only complaint I have is the noise level. Very hard to have a relaxing dinner when you have to shout.

Came here with a friend for ladies night on Wednesday and it did not disappoint! Ordered a few dishes to share, and everything was lovely. 10/10 recommend. Also a very cozy space by the fireplace in the winter time.
