We tried them two time once during week days and one during Saturday. I prefer during week days when it was not that crowded and we could get faster service but still I like it there during weekend as well .
They have a valet parking for $5 which is nice.
The drink is amazing, i has a chocolate martini which was so delicious . The way that bartender make a drink is so interesting. He is really professional and I loved my drink . He started with pure the glass with ice and my first thought great I will have martini with ice , I was so wrong . He continue make a drink and when he was done he emptied the glass that was fill with ice and pure the martini drink on it . I noticed that really interesting that he tried to make a glass stay cold , last touch was adding a piece of chocolate on it. -

This place has won me over time after time. Demetrio (sorry if I butchered the spelling) is amazing, warm and so down to earth. He always makes sure our time is nothing short of wonderful. I've had at least fifteen meals here and can vouch that almost everything I have eaten I've been head over heels for. The Jamaican chicken curry is my ALL TIME FAVORITE dish. The chicken is so tender it melts in your mouth and it comes over basmati rice which soaks up the curry and juice. The dish has a kick but I wouldn't consider it super spicy or hot.
The consistency of this place is what keeps me coming back. Also, the kitchen is open extremely late which is a plus for people in the industry looking for quality food and not just chicken wings and french fries. I was able to order crab cakes and seared scallops at the 12:15 AM one time and they didn't lack in quality. The crab cakes, scallops, empanadas, chicken curry, octopus, shrimp flatbread, mussels are always on point. Every single time. The only dish I had that I didn't love was the lamb lollipops and honestly I just didn't enjoy the flavor profiles that were paired with it.
DO NOT SKIP DESSERT. The flourless chocolate cake is heaven. Actually I lied, all of their desserts are heaven. They have this banana friend ice cream thing with cinnamon (forgot the name) and can't find it on the site... just order it. AMAZING. You will have a wonderful time no matter when you go! Enjoy. -

I like variety. I like trying different things. I like tapas.
It is not a good criteria but I like a place when it serves octopus or lamb. And they have both. And we ordered both. And I enjoyed both. The octopus is very well cooked. Not rubbery but bouncy and pleasant to your teeth. Tender lamb chop with a mediterranean touch. The yoghurt and lemon in the sauce nicely balances the rich, fatty meat.
It is not a tapas tapas place, i.e., the size of each dish is not as small as tapas you'd find in southern Spain. But it is also not large enough to be a full entree and feed you. I would recommend going with at least a small group to really be able to sample from enough variety. -

I have not been here in at least 10 years maybe 15. We used to be a regular. I think we stopped going more from the neighborhood crime.
When we came in the first thing I noticed it was a lot less people on a Saturday night. When I used to come it was almost difficult to get to the bar when you would walk in. We had a reservation for dinner The host followed us down in less then five minutes.
When I went downstairs it was 7:00 PM on a Saturday Night. The tables were about 75% filled. To be this is what I call PRIME TIME the busiest $ in the week. Although doing ok, this is not busy for a Saturday. The waitress came in shortly and she warmly introduced herself. Our table of four loved her immediately.
We started with drinks and they all were very very good. Those who like dirty martinis would be very happy having it here.
We then ordered some appetizers. The first thing we ordered was the calamari. I tasted the calamari and I was extremely disappointed it was down right cold. I started to have a feeling that this is the reason why the restaurant was no longer so busy. I asked a waitress if they could help us as the calamari was cold. It was taken care of and not much longer it came back beautifully hot. As I said I was worried that this is going to be a bad dinner, but that is not what happened. From that point on everything was perfect. We had five appetizers. We had lamb chops that were perfect and generous, Grilled Shrimp Naan Pizza, crab cakes, the calamari that I already mentioned, and I believe it was called a chicken eggroll (six of them I believe). Everything was perfect.
I can only remember two of the entrées. Mine was lamb shank over rigatoni. if you are a person that loves lampshades you would be very happy with what I had. My wife ordered sea scallops. Both were wonderful.
After several hours we left very happy and we look forward to coming back again soon. -

Stopped in for a quick drink and ended up with a mouthful delight. Ordered the seared scallops as an appetizer and ended up with a great taste from the sea. They melted in my mouth and I happily washed it down with a glass of Chardonnay. Nice atmosphere, there was a guitar player in the bar area where we ate. Enjoyed this stop!
