What people say

Gau Patel

10 star worthy. Menu was exquisite. Easily a $250-300 experience in NYC for a fraction. We had two tapas and 2 entrées and 2 desserts and it was only 116 euros. Best food on a 3 week trip all over Spain. Can't miss this place!

Unbelievable. Best restaurant I’ve eaten at in years. Good prices, the food is out of this world, the staff is nice and they are quick. Took me as a lunch walk in. Worth making a reservation.
