"Ambiance was just right."
Cons:

Value
Pros:
"The best tapas spot in the city. The dishes are diverse and well curated made of traditional flavors elevated with sophisticated yet understated elements."
"The price was actually very reasonable given the quality of the food."
"Overall, everything is very reasonably priced."

"Consistently great and decently priced."
"Overall it was good and will probably come again, I just think the prices are a little too high."
Cons:
"Food was good but not worth the price. By Manhattan standards it was easily 30% over priced."

"Food was great quality but is overpriced for portion size."
"Easy the worst Michelin star restaurant I have been to."
"The pricing of the items is astronomical for small plates."
"The $50 iberico ham, while good, is not worth the price."
"I would come here again if it was not for the price, but maybe this is the norm here. It felt a bit overpriced as a tourist here."
