"My boyfriend and I visited this restaurant for the first time this passed Friday night. The atmosphere is very casual and relaxed, but felt like a spot that the locals visit during the weekend to catch up and hang out with friends. They have an extensive, yet unique spanish tapas inspired menu that will have you hemming and hawing over what to order. The previous reviewers commenting on the speediness of the food must not be familiar with tapas or a shotgun kitchen. If you want your dinner being spaced out, then do not order something until you are ready to eat it as they will prepare and send it out pretty quickly. We didn't have a problem with the speediness. As for food, we tried the Carne Paella (for 2 was HUGE; very unique with onion ring top and worth a try), Octopus (very tender and cooked perfectly could have done without the potatoes on the side), Calamari (fried to perfection but was a little dry and missing more sauce next time we will ask for more on the side), Fried Rice Balls with Moz (the basil aioli was DELISH), the Fried Avo Salad with Shrimp (very refreshing and citrusy), and Bacon Wrapped Scallops (the bacon was crispy and it was coated in a sweet sauce). Highly recommend all of them. Overall, we were very pleased and will be coming back to try more of their food. We also didn't get a chance to dip into their wine list, but I noticed they have wine flights which is a huge plus for wine lovers. Last but not least, the service was speedy and our waitress (Olivia I think) was friendly and provided great recommendations."
