Service was great - Richard was very professional and nice. Would recommend the restaurant have straws … weird and difficult to drink a Bloody Mary with no straw. Food was good, a little bland but good just the same. Could have used some salt on the fries and calamari.

As always the food was terrific. Great mix of flavors, often unusual sauces waiting in surprise under the main ingredient like the patatas bravas. The half chicken must be ordered 45 minutes in advance but so worth the wait; always moist, flavorful and succulent.
