We had reservations for 7 o’clock on Saturday. The restaurant seemed to be short staffed. We had a short wait to get a table as well as for ordering and getting food. We really like their tapas, so we just had a more leisurely dinner. They were just having a an off night as everyone does from time to time. We’ll be back. 🇪🇸

Love this place -- The tapas are exquisite and the staff are personable and efficient. They let you linger if you want to, are attentive without hovering, and come swiftly when you want to get going. Very relaxed atmosphere -- with a bar-scene Happy Hour. Wish they offered a version of the Happy Hour at the table....but this is a quibble and the diner's choice.
