★★★★★ 5.0 Adam Aslam · Feb 2026

I walked in and did not have trouble finding a seat. The staff was very nice and cordial. The food was reasonably priced and fresh. Garlic cilantro fries were amazing. Super crunchy. Salmon was very good. Highly recommend. We additionally obtained the mussels as a appetizer. Great sauce. Overall. I believe my wife enjoyed her birthday dinner. Would recommend. Can't wait for my next visit.

This place certainly nails it. The food is truly delicious and the seafood tapas we had was the standout. Super fresh, packed with flavor, and not trying to be fancy for the sake of it. Just really good food done right. We also tried a couple of small plates and everything felt thoughtfully prepared and well seasoned. Service was a big part of why this worked. Every server we interacted with was all smiles, helpful, polite, and not pushy. You get attention without getting the sales pitch. The vibe is relaxed and cozy, with a warm atmosphere that makes you want to linger over a drink. Excellent spot for an easy, happy night out.

We were four guests and had a great experience. Gio was incredibly attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the entire evening. He made sure everything ran smoothly and that we all felt welcome and well taken care of. Unfortunately, I don’t have photos of the food, only of the wine, because the dishes were so delicious that we couldn’t wait and finished them right away. Truly excellent service. Thank you, Gio!

Stopped in for a drink and some snacks during the winter vortex. The happy hour was great! Good variety of drink options and delicious tapas. What makes it even better: the staff. Finding spots that allow service dogs without making it a big deal can be nerve racking. Gio made us feel so welcome. Highly recommend!

★★★★★ 5.0 Taylor Lee · Feb 2026

Happy hour was great, good drinks and food! Service by Gio was lovely. Ordered the Tommy Margarita, Lychee Martini, and Sangria for drinks, and the Tomaquet & Manchego Pintxos, empanada, and chicken sandwich for food. All delicious.
