This place is dangerously good! 😋 The small plates make it so easy to try so many of their dishes! Which are so gorgeously delicious 🤤 Their cocktails are yummy, I loved the sidecar, and the sangria! Would recommend both! 🥂 And the grilled chicken the best experience and the calamari, just chefs kisses! Plus the Passion fruit sorbet was just 😍 will be back again 💖

This place can do no wrong. The flavors here hit way above what your initial expectations are and should be considered to be listed in the Michelin Guide. Visit here while you can since their next door landlord will not be renewing their lease. You need only taste Cesar's food to understand why. Such a travesty. I truly hope they find a new place and reopen soon.

More like 3.5. Good service and lively atmosphere. Spanish chesses, jamon serrano, tortilla espanola and montaditos were great! Cocktails tasty too. Great hot toddy! But gets 3.5 for the paella which was just ordinary. Toasted almond and fig ice cream was good, but could not taste fig. Bread pudding could be passed on. It was restaurant week, so will definitely give it another try and taste their regular menu.

The tortilla and watermelon salad are delicious! Great spot. This picture is from a dining out during covid-19 restrictions experience.

Bring three people if you want both the (delicious) paella and some tapas. Great service too.
