"Gambas was way too salty, and the Paella was burnt!"

Ambiance
Pros:
"The atmosphere is fantastic."

"Great ambiance and had a constant flow of people."
"Ambiance was nice and cozy, dim setting but enough light at the table, and really good Hispanic music at a medium to low volume."
"The decor is amazing: beautiful lighting, big tall tables reminiscent of a bar, good music (not so loud) and a busy staff that runs up and down."

"The vibe is lively, though you can still have a good conversation."
Cons:

"It was too dark to read the menu."
"So my entire chair moved with every passerby. Super irritating."
"It was way too loud for me."
"The seating situation is quite tight inside and you sometimes feel elbow to elbow with other people."
"Seating is tight with insufficient space for people to walk between the chairs so I was jostled all meal."
Value
Pros:
"Brunch for two, 2 margaritas, 4 tapas, main dish for two and coffee (with brandy) under $200 (with tip)."
"The prices are lower than one would expect for NYC."
"If you can get in for the happy hour pricing (it goes until 6pm) it's a great deal on food and drinks."
"Pretty solid Spanish tapas. Definitely go for the $45 chef's menu because you get your money's worth of a variety of tapas."
"The tapas have been reduced in their price."
"They had a special where you could get an appetizer, two plates and a dessert for $35."
"Would highly recommend their brunch, with bottomless (wonderful) mimosas or sangria for 2 hours."
Cons:
"Now, with the regular dinner menu, it is extremely expensive."
"The portions are really really small."
"The food was small as it was tapas, yet it was very expensive… the paella was ok, the rice looked half cooked."
"The Tapas are priced over $10 and varied in quality from bland to burned."
"Finally, $70 for 4 below average taps dishes is bad deal."
"A bit on the pricier side which I don't mind but don't expect a meal under $20."
"The pricing is HIGH compared to the food you get."
