Spanish restaurant · River North

"Chicago is the fifth location of this casual Spanish restaurant that opened in D.C. back in 1993, and the brightly lit, busy space can definitely give you chain restaurant vibes. But that concern will disappear fast thanks to the attentive service and great food. The menu includes tapas, paellas, sangrias, and a long list of Spanish wines. And the crowd—while a mixed bag of tourists—is clearly having some fun. It’s contagious, so even if you come here in a bad mood, you’ll be joining them soon. It’s a great spot for dinner and drinks before going out downtown, or if you just want to get together with some friends and not worry about how loud you’re being." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
