Service

Pros:

  • "The service was top notch."
  • "They treat us like family every time we come."
  • "Water was always added when my glass was almost empty but they wouldn’t bother us for asking everything okay, which I really liked personally."
  • "Great service, the tintos de mar OMG 😆 auténtico, highly recommend."
  • "The service was very fast and the staff was all very friendly."
  • "The entire staff went above and beyond to ensure our group had an exceptional experience."
  • "Reservation was straightforward, service was flawless - attentive at the right level."

Cons:

  • "They offered nothing in terms of a new reservation on another day or anything else (a free drink?). Now scrambling to find another reservation. Very disappointed."
  • "The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because the service is now so so."
  • "But, the service was very unprofessional."
  • "The guy was sarcastic throughout my stay and had a nasty, careless attitude."
  • "Was met by a cold reception at the door and our waiters pushing us to get more to drink and to eat didn't help the experience."
  • "The waiter was INCREDIBLY rude because we weren’t planning on ordering entrees."
  • "The service was extremely bad. They brought all the tapas at the same time in a rush."

Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The prawns were succulent and sweet and better than the langoustines."
  • "The food is delicious (you MUST try the croquetas)."
  • "The Pulpo á Feira is a fine warm Octopus with a delicate splash of olive oil, sea salt and a soft pimentón spice."
  • "The food here is excellent. The ‘Pulpo a Fiera’ (octopus) was very delicately prepared over olive oil; my next favorite was the flaming Chorizos- you could taste and get the aroma of the Orujo liquor."
  • "The Marisco Croquetas were better than the Jamon Croquestas, but both were very good."
  • "All of the dishes were superb! We ordered the tomato salad with tuna, fried calamari, the chorizo al inferno, the whole fish and chocolate dessert."
  • "Absolutely all the food is delicious."

Cons:

  • "Paella was lacking in depth of flavor."
  • "The red sangria is lackluster, but go with the white if you must."
  • "Lobster was overworked and tough."
  • "The sea salt octopus was not as appealing as I thought since it was kind of bland and overly tender, losing the feel of how octopus normally taste like."
  • "The fried ribs we got was a joke there were basically only bones non meet onsite."
  • "Jamon was so thickly sliced and didn’t have much flavor, egg w potato tortilla was so grossly runny."
  • "Sausage was redundant in my mind as this preserved food had enough salt to destroy my kidney."

Ambiance

Pros:

  • "Warm and cozy inside, would go back for sure."
  • "The space is modern and open.. Great light and modest decoration."
  • "Sexy stylish place with a modern contemporary design."
  • "Love the atmosphere very lively, lots of Spanish ppl dining there."
  • "Group of five, wowed by the interior design! Warm, eclectic and inviting."
  • "The restaurant itself is really beautiful, it has a soft decoration and automatically makes you feel that you are in Europe."
  • "The interior design is amazing."

Cons:

  • "Pretty decent restaurant overall, but I just don't feel the value was there."
  • "The only downside was whoever cut/prep it didn't do so well."
  • "Portions aren't the Galicia style which should be generous, instead they do really small tapas, indeed most of us were hungry by the end of dinner."
  • "The steak was somehow cooked to both well-done and rare, didn’t have much flavor."
  • "The main dining room is very charming with a ceiling window that floods the place with natural light."
  • "Service was good and atmosphere was nice except it was too warm."
  • "Pretty noisy place."
