    We had some menu items that were incredible and some that were okay. I guess they are palette depending. The Croquette and Bikini were our favorite!

    pretty underwhelming food with questionable plating. some of the dishes were okay but the ones that weren't good were disappointing. there are better restaurants with spanish tapas and pricing is similar with larger portions. the restaurant is super cute and i love the decor but the food and the prices don't match. i understand that this is a new restaurant and they're working on their menu so i hope it improves over time. i loved their sister restaurant (patria) when it was open so i was hoping it would be similar. service is pretty good.

    We were seated at the bar, where no one should really be seated. There was not enough room for us. And we were asked to move down half way through our meal so they could squeeze some more people in. Food was nice. Service was ok. Cocktails were good. I would go back, but not in a hurry.

    Overall, it was a good experience. For 3 drinks and 6 small plates of food the bill was $170 before tip. Our server was great and suggested that 6 plates between 2 people would be sufficient. 4/6 of the dishes were fantastic, 1 was okay and 1 was not great. The size of the plates is not worth the cost of the dish. If you have excess money, it’s a great place to go. If you’re ballin on a budget and looking for a special night out, there’s better restaurants with better food and probably less expensive. Definitely felt like you were paying to be there instead of paying for what you get. We left feeling like we were still hungry, but couldn’t afford to eat anymore.

    Not good value for money at all. And a very limited menu. Expected better from the Patria crew. Ordered the tuna crudo, patatas bravas, corn - all very average.

    Service was great. Restaurant is a bit dark and bar style seating uncomfortable. When (presumably) a mishap happened in the kitchen, the restaurant smelled like gas and no staff came to advise about it. Left with a headache and burning eyes because of that and I thought that the staff could have addressed the issue in front as it was obvious that it was lingering and permeating the whole restaurant.

    Went to Chica to grab drinks and small plates. Everything was good, but just good. I don’t think anything stood out except for the restaurant ambiance, it’s great for going with friends or a date. Reason for lower rating is the food is quite expensive for its portions in my opinion and the drinks were only alright. Not sure if I would come again but overall it was good.

    We had an exceptional experience overall. Not only was the food was remarkably good- consistently interesting textures and flavours - the service was exceptional from tip to tail. I was particularly grateful for how much everyone went out of their way to make the dinner special given it was my husbands birthday. I will be spreading the word about this gem of a place!!
