Good .... but.....

Ok - I really really really liked this place the first time I went. The stuffed chicken breast was to die-for. However, the next time I went, a week later, I swore the chicken was NOT cooked. I was terrified that I was eating chicken that wasn't fully cooked. I didn't send it back - just stopped eating... dessert (nutella/banana crepes) were absolutely delicious. Just be weary --- I still like this place, but my chalk it up to one-bad experience. (Let's hope so anyway).

Pros: Location
Cons: inconsistent

Insulting that they would call this Spanish food..

by almeria

Not even close to Spanish food. I'm from Spain, and I find it very insulting that this restaurant is known for its cuisine from Spain. Not only are the owners not from Spain, which means nothing; the restaurant itself is nowhere near Spanish food. They have mozzarella sticks on the menu. I mean come on. And to top it all of I was on the toilet for 2 days. Never again, it's a shame that people would go to this restaurant and think that this is Spanish food. Maybe Colombian, or Puerto Rican, but not from SPAIN. Very disappointed!!! If you want authentic Spanish food, I just had a lovely dinner at Tia Pol, in the city and the chef was from Spain, and you can tell, the food was so authentic, and delicious.
