“ Tapas here are quite international. We enjoyed our last trip to Spain so much that we decided to get tapas. To our surprise, without any reservations we were seated in no time near the bar on a Saturday night. Ranging from Japanese tempuras to your Indian Samosas, here has it all. The portion varies quite a lot depending on the dish. The soup was so good that we ordered a second one check my picture. The atmosphere was nice and quiet maybe because it wasnt crowded but I enjoyed it. There was a birthday happening next to our table but the noise level was minimal. The price was a bit on the higher end we thought. The drinks were also pretty international as well. We were in the mood for some Brazilian caipirinhas ”
“ Such an amazing place. The food was delicious, the service was exceptional and the the atmosphere was calm and soothing. We had the chilli garlic edamame, croquettes, patatas bravas, peri peri chicken and butter chicken. The flavores were amazing and I couldnt ask for more. ”
“ On a snow day, while the rest of the city remained frozen in time, we decided to venture to a tapas eatery. Much to our delight, the establishment was open despite the inclement weather. Understandably, the pace of service was leisurely, likely due to the snow. Nonetheless, the waitstaff was affable and the food arrived promptly. I appreciated that the chef was willing to accommodate my dietary restriction by substituting oil for butter in my mushroom dish. The standout dish for me was undoubtedly the tofu, which was so exceptional that I am inclined to order two portions during my next visit ”
“ Excellent environment, fantastic food and outstanding service. Plates came at a constant clip and left well satisfied. There is a cozy fireplace on one side, open seating in the middle and more private seating on the other something to appease everyone. ”
“ Great place to enjoy a family celebration. We had about 20 in our group, with most of us from out of town. We had young children as well as vegetarian and meat eaters. The diverse tapas selections and smaller food portions were perfect. The Shishito Peppers were awesome, I could have eaten an entire plate on my own! Also, Paresh who helped me arrange the reservation was super helpful in meeting our needs. The seating area was great and the only unexpected thing was that the dining area is open to the outside and was not air conditioned which made it uncomfortable. The open atmosphere would have been fine if not for the 85 degrees outside. ”
“ Super nice place with a variety of option vegan included. Suits business, family and friends meal. Definitely worth to visit ”
“ Great service, delicious food, beautiful fire. Loved how explicitly the menu outlined allergens and dietary options. Second time here and will be back again and again. ”
“ Incredible night! We chose the private dining room here to host our parents 50th wedding anniversary on a Saturday night. Everything from the start of planning was smooth and straightforward. The set up, service and food were all spot on. It was our first time having an event here and Im excited to have a new venue to throw parties in. ”
