Worst service ever

by delavega1981 at Citysearch

I am shocked this restaurant has received such rave reviews from people. Our dinner was ruined by the horrible french waitress at this place....it was my second time, she's looked always tired and nervious. I would rather buy my drinks than deal with the horrible wait for a table and rude staff. When I asked why everything was taking so long, the waitress actually responded it's like in spain Apparently this restaurant heyday is over...too many people and too poor of a manager. Avoid it.

  • Pros: Garden, mojoto, Tapas
  • Cons: service

good spanish food

by carmen136 at Citysearch

Coming from Spain, I'm always very sceptical about eating 'home" food out of the country, but I must say I was very pleasantly surprised when I went into this restaurant with a couple of friends.

There is a lot to choose from on the menu, and the food is fresh and well done.

On the downside, service is a bit chaotic and rushed.

  • Pros: food, music, ambience
  • Cons: service
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

EXCELLENT!!

by BraveArtist at Citysearch

I usually NEVER write reviews, just too much trouble.... however, I did a seach for the place online to confirm the address (going there again with freinds for dinner) and came accross the listing in Citysearch.... I was SHOCKED to find that anyone could have given this place a rating under 5 (4 if you feel the prices are a tad on the higher side).

So to set the record straight..... Yes, it's a tad bit pricier than it could be, but WORTH it. The food, is FRESH, DELICIOUS and the variety is AWESOME! The portion sizes are generous and the biggest problem is knowing what to order.... everything is so tempting.

So, enjoy your meal there and I know after you go, you'll also be back here to give them the "*****" they deserve.

  • Pros: Excellent food & variety... biggest problem-- what to oder
  • Cons: A tad pricy, but worth it
