★★★☆☆ 3.0 Tony · Feb 2026

The bar service was excellent from start to finish. The space is open, spacious, and has a great atmosphere that feels lively without being overwhelming. The food was outstanding across the board. I ordered the scallops, which were incredibly fresh, beautifully seared, and packed with flavor. The steak skewers were cooked perfectly. Tender, juicy, and well-seasoned. The paella truly stood out. The rice was perfectly cooked with deep, rich flavor, absorbing all the savory essence from the seafood and meats. Every bite was layered and balanced, not mushy, not dry, just spot on. You can tell real care went into this dish. The cauliflower had a slight firmness that gave it a great bite, exactly how vegetables should be cooked. Not overdone, just right. Overall, an excellent dining experien

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Thomas Stevens · Jan 2026

The atmosphere and vibe here is really cool. I had the paella 🥘 when there for dinner. It was mid..but flavorful. The sausage was gray, but the shrimp 🍤 was fresh and wonderful. I'd say it was also too dry. I also tried a couple tapas...both were good 👍 I will likely try this again...but pass on the paella 🥘

Only stopped in for drinks and dessert but I can already see this becoming one of my favorite restaurants. The vibe is elegant and I loved the light-bulb/greenery décor hanging from the ceiling. Great cocktail selection and the cake was delicious omg!! 😍 I hope word spreads - wishing them all the best!

Went in for dinner and they did not disappoint. Ambiance, vibe, food and service were amazing! Ordered the Buratta salad, sirloin and shrimp skewers, lamb skewers, mussels and chorizo and the classic paella…ALL were excellent..
