Lil' Ba-Ba-Reeba!

Absolutely phenomenal experience from start to finish. The food was delicious: scallops and hanger steak were perfect, and the shaved Brussels sprouts were a great touch. The octopus is an absolute must-try—easily the best I have ever had. Our server, Lauren, was incredible! She was friendly, super knowledgeable, answered all our questions, and provided excellent recommendations. Impeccable service made the night perfect. Highly recommend!

This is a great place for food and service. Make sure you have a reservation. The food was tapas style and at a recommended 2-3 selection per person should be enough selections. The beef skewer is excellent- we ordered a second one. Everything else we had was excellent as well. Service was outstanding. Nice vibe to the restaurant. However, they need to increase their service/cleanliness to the men’s bathroom. I’d suggest a check/cleaning at least every hour - if not more often. We enjoyed and would recommend. If the bathroom was clean, I’d have no hesitation giving a 5. However, they deserve the downgrade because of the lack of concern about the toilet.

This place should be on your dining itinerary. First off, our waitress, Erin, was great. She really understood the menu, made excellent suggestions and was fun. Very good at her job. The Brussels sprouts salad was really tasty with a nice blend of flavors At some restaurants the patatas bravas are overly dry. Not here. They were moist and the tomato aioli paired well Scallops were nicely done. But the highlight was actually the wrapped dates. They were delicious! The flavor combination was perfect. Both white and red sangrias were yummy.

From a Spanish local, A for effort! This place tries hard to replicate Spanish tapas, and most of them are very good! Hats off for the happy hour, $5 sangria is a great deal, especially when they are that good! Chorizo dates are good, and croquetas are good (just don’t add the extra salt on top, no need), and the lamb is highly recommended! Please, get the bread, it is great! On the improvement side, the tortilla is not how it is supposed to be made, as it is too cooked on the outside. Environment is great, and the terrace is a gem! Overall, great place!

Awesome atmosphere, friendly bartenders, great food. Highly recommend. I went with just one other person, but it would also be great for a big group. Will be back!

I was there with my son to celebrate his birthday. We made reservations. It was on a Saturday and it was absolutely packed. No chance of getting in without one. Parking is difficult but you can use the valet parking service from next door, which is super convenient. Anyway, about the food: I lived in Spain and have tried Spanish food in lots of cities around the world. So, I have good context to evaluate. The croquetas are outstanding. World class. The tortilla española is solid: a very good dish. The patatas bravas have a distinct (and yummy) paprika taste and are not that "bravas" (spicy). A bit more sauce on the serving and a bit more kick would put them in the Outstanding category. As they are, they are a very good dish. You will enjoy them a lot. We ordered one of those hot sandwiches... my god so so good. But can't remember the name. They only have like three of those. You want the one with burrata, tomatoes, Spanish ham/salami. The one thing I was super excited to try and my only disappointment was the octopus. Oh and the desserts were delish. Overall, and excellent visit. Oh, my house cocktail (cava based) was super super good. It is so nice to know you can get an authentic taste of Spain in Chicago. Highly recommend.

fun brunch place, but it can definitely get pricey because the dishes add up quickly. everything we tried tasted delicious, but my favorites were definitely the patatas bravas & brunch fideuá. we ordered 2-3 dishes per person as recommended by our server, but it honestly feel like it was a lot of food and i got full pretty fast. excited to revisit!

All around 5 stars!! Every bite was simply delicious. Our server made great recommendations. We had some amazing Spanish red wine to go with our meal. And the ambience was a whole vibe. We didn’t feel rushed and kept ordering until our bellies were full. I do recommend reservations since it’s smaller than the original location. Can’t wait to go back!

I came here with a friend and we ordered a few different plates throughout the night. Overall everything was great quality and super yummy. Beef empanada: 4/5 the sauce was really good Jamon y melon: 4/5 really fresh tasting but the jamon was on the salty side Pressed bikini sandwiches: 3.5 a good portion size Seared scallops: 4/5 you can't go wrong with scallops The atmosphere and service were both great as well. Highly recommend coming here!

We sat on the patio for an early fall happy hour and it was so lovely, a really nice space! This was my first time at Lil Ba Ba Reeba, although I've been to the sister restaurant in Lincoln Park several times. I think the happy hour at Cafe Ba Ba Reeba in Lincoln Park is superior, as it goes until 6 pm (in River North it's 5:30 pm) and the happy hour menu is a lot more extensive with more tapas options to choose from. That being said, everything was decent. The white peach sangria was amazing, and the deviled eggs and garlic shrimp were quite tasty. The potatoes were a nice crispy on the outside texture and the creamy sauce was good. Unfortunately I think the service wasn't great at least this time around. Our server was nice, but he didn't come by to our table until about 15 minutes after we sat down. He only returned twice after that in maybe an hour and a half time period, including when we had only ordered drinks and hadn't put any food in yet. It was still overall a nice time but I would recommend Cafe Ba Ba Reeba if that location is accessible.

LOVE love love this place! It's a cute spot in River North. The sister restaurant of Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba up north. I would recommend making reservations as they get pretty busy at dinner time. It's a tapas place so generally a couple plates per person is a good amount. We had 5 plates including the dessert for 2 of us and were very full. Here's my ranking of all the plates we had: 1. Goat Cheese baked in tomato sauce 2. Patatas Bravas 3. Brussel Sprout Salad 4. Pan con chocolate 5. Tortilla Española I will be going there again for sure!

We went with a big party over the weekend with a reservation, overall had an amazing time. The staff are friendly and walked us through their pretty extensive tapas menus. Every food item/plate we tried was delicious. Really can't say you can go wrong with most of the choices here! Definitely recommend the potato's and bacon wrapped dates.

The New Year's Day pajama brunch is truly our favorite tradition with our favorite people!!!! THANK YOU Salvo for setting this up for us with our favorite seats at the bar. We truly appreciate all that you do! As always, Courtney and Ryan behind the bar are spectacular. Madeline and Layla are fantastic servers and truly give the best vibes. We were also lucky enough to meet Quinn who looks like he'll fit in just perfectly. As always, James put together the best of the best from food to drinks to service. We love it here so much!!!!

Great food + sangria + fun = A great experience. The sangria (we had traditional red) is always good. The menu had something for everyone in our party. The Brussels sprouts salad, chicken meatballs, beef empanadas and mushroom dish were standouts. All of the dishes were tasty. The restaurant itself is much smaller than the original Ba Ba Reeba, but the service, food quality and ambiance are just as good, if not better.

This place was fantastic - I would definitely come here again! The interior is so beautiful with dimmed candlelight lighting. The beef empanadas were flakey and delicious with such tender beef inside. The fried peppers were so good and not spicy at all. Highly recommend trying it out. The sandwich was really good and had soft runny eggs on top with avocado. It's a nice shareable and has a delicious sweet/spicy sauce that comes on the side. Highly recommend dining here if you're in the city!

Service, food and ambiance are all top notch and memorable. Fresh favors, authentic options and a cool, cozy atmosphere

Fabulous service and food quality is always good. It's a quaint place but great for hanging out with friends for dinner or going on a date.

Had dinner here for the second time and what a treat . Great ambiance, intimate setting with a fun vibe. Had their take on an Old Fashion which was delicious. There portions are god for tapas we had seven fished for four of us and it was plenty. Our favs were the Bikini Sandwich and the Yenderloin Toro skewer but everything we had was awesome. Service was great as well. We will be back every time we come to Chicago.

Every dish was delicious. My favorites were the hanger steak and potatoes bravas. Gluten free dishes were done well for our coworker with Celiacs. Friendly and helpful service. Our server was knowledgeable, attentive, and knew how to pace our dishes. Ambience was dark and intimate but very lively with the buzz of conversation. They also were able to accommodate our large group of 10 on a week day evening.

Such a fun place with great tapas. We visited the restaurant on a Sunday. Cute small place and the tables are pretty close together. Definitely gets busy so I recommend a reservation. Started off with a beer and the sangria del día. The sangria is a must try for sure! Definitely refreshing. For our plates (all shareable tapas) we got the ham croquetas, the goat cheese baked in tomato, the meatballs, deviled eggs, and Brussels sprout salad. The croquetas, deviled eggs, and Brussels sprout salad are a must try!!! All so delicious and I definitely recommend. The goat cheese was really good. However, the tomato sauce is more of a marinara so not what I expected. Definitely gave it an Italian feel rather than Spanish. The meatballs were tender and my husband's favorite. I personally did not like them. They have almost like a meatloaf texture and I was not a fan. They also have brunch but we opted for regular menu items. Service was good. The server was attentive and even made sure to check if we wanted any brunch items before brunch ended. Glad she gave us the heads up!

Want a memorable business team dinner that has something for everyone in the group? Indulge in Spanish Tapas at Lil' Ba-Ba-Reeba in Chicago's River North. Sangria & cocktails & mocktails, oh my! Bacon wrapped dates stuffed with chorizo & cheese is a must! Crystal bread with tomato spread Steak tower with whipped potatoes & shishito peppers Lemon cheesecake & caramel pudding bites Very fun atmosphere, especially since everyone gets to pick a dish! Fantastic, attentive servers who keep checking on drinks & dishes.

This place was pretty solid, great for happy hours! I think my favorites were the chorizo-wrapped dates (bacon-wrapped good as well) and the truffle bite. The patatas bravas were good but not anything too special. I loved the cava sangria as well, although our 2 glasses didn't have consistent pours (varying proportions of wine and juice so one was much sweeter and one was more wine).

We came for brunch and had a splendid time. They had a special mango sangria which was amazing. I would come back for just the brunch patavas bravas.

Excellent tapas place. Wide range of dishes and they accomodate all allergies and dietary preferences. They recommend around 3 plates per person but they will gauge every so often to see if you still want the rest of your meals because you fill up quite fast! I love that they also serve based on the number of people in your party, for example some meals come with only 6 of the item but if you are a group of 7 they will add one more so it's easier to share. Really great service, our server was very friendly and explained the menu really well. We ordered a plethora of dishes and every single one was better than the other. I especially loved the bikini sandwiches, the croquetas, and the meat on the skewer. I really recommend for large groups! It's a nice location and it fits large groups with a reservation.

Everything was amazing. You should go to the place. Food is incredible. Every dish was tasty. We sat in the patio. We requested to change place because of sunlight on face (though nice but not for longwr time) and the staff quickly arranged another place for us. 4 of us had food and drinks and that cost us around $210 (excluding tip).

We came here on a Sunday for brunch-- with countless options in the area, we chose this place because of the catchy name and we were not disappointed. Our server was so sweet, I'm sad I can't remember her name, but she described the items on the menu well and was pleasant in all our interactions. You can tell she likes her job. We tried the patatas bravas, French toast, hanger steak, shrimp, baked goat cheese and Brussels. Everything was tasty, but I have to take a star off for the price / portion of the steak. It was $20 bucks and unlike any of the other tapas portions, it wasn't shareable. Also, the baked goat cheese was really underwhelming with a dollop of cheese floating in a ramekin of sauce. Otherwise we enjoyed everything else including the ambiance Oh yeah- make sure you read your check.. you can have the 3.25 percent surcharge removed.

#1 get the sangria The brussel sprouts salad wasn't my favorite thing. It's a very cute brunch space and perfect for small groups. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Service: 4/5

Cafe Ba-ba-Reeba and Lil' ba-ba-reeba have a New Year's Day special. So I went to try their brunch offering. Has Lil Ba-Ba-Reeba help with my search of a good tapas place? Let's find out: Ambiance Lil Baby-Ba-Reeba is a bar. We were seated in an outside heated enclosure.the speaker was pretty close, so the music was a bit loud but since the seats were in a small enclosure, the noise level is pretty loud. Service The waitress was friendly. The food came out in a pretty good pace. We did not wait too long between each dish. One issue I did have was the waiters would leave the sliding door open. I had some cold breeze blowing on my back while the heat lamp above was on my side. Food -Goat cheese baked in Tomato sauce This dish came with some garlic bread. The bread itself was crispy and the sauce when mixed has a lasagna taste to it. If you like lasagna, you will like this dish -pressed bikini sandwiches This sandwich was really tasty. It had the crispy texture of the bread with the softness of the filling. It also had sweetness from some honey that was drizzled over it. It was a fun and delicious sandwich to try. -brunch patatas bravas with bacon This version of the patatas bravas came with an egg and we added some bacon to the dish. The potatoes were crispy and the sauce had a hint of spiciness to it. The sunny side up egg did not really add to the dish and the yolk kind of got absorbed by the potatoes when we got the them. The bacon was crispy. -Chorizo-stuffed date The spiciness/saltiness of the chorizo works well with the sweetness of the date. It was a good dish. Overall Lil Ba-Ba-Reeba is a great place to get tapas. The food was really good and the service and staff were nice. There some other dish I would like to try on my next visit, but I would recommend trying Lil Ba-Ba-Reeba especially if you have a hankering for some Spanish tapas!

The flavor can be improved. The restaurant was busy with lots of local young people.

I was so excited to try this place out since I have a special love for Spanish tapas since I studied abroad in Madrid. The atmosphere inside is low lit and romantic, but we ended up sitting outside because the weather was so nice but we wish we sat inside for better atmosphere. I love olives but really did not like the lemon zest they used on it because it made it pretty bitter. The croquettes were the best part of the meal and were tasty. The chorizo sandwiches were pretty good too. I was disappointed by the patatas bravas because instead of being drizzled all over the potatoes they were just soaked in a clump of the sauce. The sauce also was not the best. Our waitress was nice though.

LIl Ba-ba-reeba is a fantastic place for a large dinner party! We sat outside in an enclosed area with access to fresh air, but also shielded from the cold wind. Service was attentive and quick. Food is consistent with the regular Ba-Ba-Reeba. Nothing is unique or Michelin star quality (go to Spain for that), but everything is delicious and well prepared. The traditional Spanish dishes we ordered appeases the general crowd. Shrimp in garlic and red chili pepper butter, roasted potatoes, Brussels sprouts salad, charcuterie board, Catalan bread service, meatballs, etc. (you can see the photos). Chocolate cake dessert was a bit too sweet and Rich for me but probably because I was already too full! It was also to late in the evening for me to have coffee to cut through the richness of the cake. This is a great spot to intro newbies to Spanish food.

I'm not gonna lie, this has been one of the most hyped up restaurants in the city from my friends and colleagues since I moved to Chicago a few months ago... and I was a little disappointed. It's possible the hype got to me and I was expecting the best dining experience of my life, so when I didn't get that, I was let down. Long story short, I came here with a group of 5 and got lots of shareables. The bill was $400+ and I left hungry. Also, the service was pretty slow and we were waiting around a lot to order. Since the wait staff wasted my time already, I don't really wanna waste my time again doing a full itemized review. Here are a few highlights/lowlights on the menu that we tried -- Passion fruit Sangria - 1/5 - tastes like a capri sun, did not taste any alcohol in this. It's like 45 bucks compared to the regular sangria which is 35, and it is much worse. Stick to the classic red sangria Hanger steak - 5/5 This was actually pretty delicious. Cooked to perfect medium rare, and super flavorful. Only problem? You go with a group of 5, you get 1 bite... You order this for yourself? You're out 60 bucks Chorizo Wrapped Dates - 5/5 I'm a big sucker for dates wrapped in any sort of cured meat. Actually, just any cured meat in general. This was no exception. Delicious. Patatas Bravas - 4/5 Was just in Spain a few months ago and this is as close to the real thing I've had in the US. Very solid. -- Overall, the food was pretty tasty. Again, my main problem was that we spent a ton of money, and I was not even close to full when we left. I got a burrito on the way home. The service was also a little bit below expectations, especially after all the glowing reviews I've heard about this place. I'm eager to try the larger location in Lincoln park to see if the experience is any better, but I will be saving that for when Pops is in town and he is footing the bill.

Definitely this is one of my favorite sports in my area. Most of the experience here were good but had a couple of weird which make me to avoid it for a while but I love tapas and this place so I'm always coming back for more . :) Ryan it's one of the people that I met there from the beginning because he was taking care of us . He's very friendly and helpful and with a smile on his face so I highly recommend if you are there and have him he will get very good care of you. Yesterday I went there because we were craving tapas and try the new "bikini baba sandwich "which was very good . We stayed at the bar and Sofia took care of us . She's so lovely and attentive. Happy hours there are fire and the ambiance it's so lovely with music so it's one of the places you'll enjoy. They have a large variety of tapas and the nice part it's that they also change the menu for once in a while and add new options of food.

Love this sister restaurant. Great location in River North with a beautiful patio to enjoy in the summer. We enjoyed a variety of tapas- the best type of dinner. Got a pitcher of sangria to share (they have four varieties that are delish!) and plenty of plates. Highly recommend the garlic shrimp and goat cheese in tomato sauce, but the BEST plate was the brussel sprout salad. It was so fresh and delicious. Must order while you're there! They have plenty of reservations open but recommend making one if you want to sit on the patio. They were nice to change us to a patio seat! :) Only thing that could have made this meal a 5/5 was the timing of dinner. Usually at tapas restaurants I've ordered plate by plate to see what sounds interesting, but our server seemed irritated by our approach to dinner. He seemed to rush us even though we were within our time/reservation. Still nice though!

Good! A little surprised they don't serve paella, but what they do have is good. The service was great and friends and I shared the seasonal mango sangria, which included fresh fruit and was super tasty. We had the gazpacho, shrimp, mushrooms, and chicken skewer. All were tasty. Nothing came with bread so we did end up asking for that just to have a little something to eat the food with. Ambiance is very pleasant too. They have both outdoor and outdoor with awning seating which is so fun. Recommend!

I love both the Ba Ba Reebas! Service is on point and the food is delicious. The vibe is outstanding.

Walked over here after work for a quick happy hour with my coworker. Got the dates, deviled eggs and mini bikini sandwiches. Everything was delicious and filling. We sat in the heated patio area which was cute and very warm. Our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Cute little place and you can't beat their happy hour prices!

Menu is absolutely not worth the price point. The flavors are good not great but at least the portions are consistent in terms of item/value. The service was frankly disappointing - made a reservation that was no honored until after 30 minutes and did not even get a phone call to get notified... I wouldn't see it as an issue if the food didn't end up so very average. Overall not a place I will go back to. If you absolutely want to try this place I would give the steak, a bread side and brussel sprout salad a chance.

We went as a larger group for my friend's bachelorette party. The service was amazing! Location is great. The vibes inside are relatively laid back. I won't stop raving about the brussel sprouts salad- it was delectable, fresh, and addicting! We enjoyed the spanish charcuterie. The patatas bravas were INCREDIBLE - so crispy, and the sauce just hit the spot. Another standout was the shrimp and the bacon wrapped dates. The drinks were refreshing. Others enjoyed the sangria which they stated was fruity and tasty. I did not enjoy the chocolate truffle cake, but others did. Overall, a fabulous restaurant to share tapas with friends.

Lil Ba-Ba-Reeba is a charming tapas spot perfect for date nights or friendly get-togethers. The ambiance is cozy, with dim lighting and enjoyable music. We tried their croquettes, bacon-wrapped dates, potatoes, and octopus dish, all of which were delicious. Unfortunately, the scallops were sold out, but it's a testament to their popularity. The sangrias were a highlight, adding a fruity twist to our meal. Service was friendly and attentive, making our visit enjoyable.

Great ambience and an amazing place to share small plates with! Everything we tried was amazing and the white sangria was to die for!! Will definitely come again (and I hear they have a deal for the sangria pitchers on Mondays)

It's a right of passage in Chicago to go on a first date at Lil Ba-Ba-Reeba. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I saw their Hibiscus Sour cocktail in an Instagram post, and it was perfection. I'm a sucker for anything hibiscus, but it had full flavor. The Deviled Eggs were enjoyable, but I wouldn't repeat them on a future visit considering how many great dishes are on the menu. (I could order the Hibiscus Sour weekly and not get sick of it...)

A Spanish restaurant in river north . That means it will be constantly crowded and loud. These were what we expected, but the food there was surprising. Focusing on Spanish tapas, the menu contained dishes ranging from vegetarian to meat to seafood, and many of them were creative and delicious! We ordered 5 dishes to share as neither one of us were hungry. The first dish we had was Brussels sprouts. It was my friends first time to have Brussels sprouts salad so he found it interesting. But I thought the dressing was too sweet. The Fried shishito pepper was better. Btw it was not spicy at all. Then we got the shrimp and baked goat cheese. I really love the goat cheese dish!! Super creamy, warm, with layers of flavors from the rich tomato sauce and cheese itself. It went great with the bread on the side as well. My favorite dish was the seared sea scallop. The scallop was very fresh and tender. Moreover it was topped on some creamy cauliflower purée. Plating was also good. A perfect dish indeed! Besides our server was quite friendly and helpful. The only thing I regret--we did a wrong calculation of the tip, ending up giving too little to him lol.

Visited this place with my fiancé for Sunday morning brunch. The vibes are cute with wine bottles around the room and quirky paintings. We did the restaurant week menu which came with 2 entrees, a drink and a dessert and it was so worth it. We left full and there was so many vegetarian options. We had the shaved Brussel sprouts, potato bravas, tomato goat cheese dip and scrambled eggs on a tomato toast. We also had the chocolate ganache and the butterscotch dessert. Everything hit the spot. The service was pretty good too - steady and attentive.

Huge fans of the original Ba ba reeba, we had been wanting to try this downtown location for some time now. We finally got to this week and were really happy. It's hard to find a place anymore that delivers on the true dining out experience -- good food, good service and good ambiance. Simple as it sounds, most places have lost the ability to please all the senses. We walked in on a weekday and had a friendly hostess who was willing to answer questions about the menu. We had an excellent server who was alert to food sensitivities and took it upon herself to make sure the replacement experience was equally great. The menu is similar in some ways and has a few more upscale dining options like hen of the woods mushrooms etc. Being vegetarian and gluten-free, I had a satisfying meal of patatas bravas, tomato spread on gluten-free bread, mushrooms, and the Brussels Sprouts salad. They do have a happy hour but it's a short menu and we didn't end up ordering anything from it. The ambiance is intimate and classy.

The tapas here are so yummy. My fav is the potatas bravas and the chorizo wrapped dates!!! Hearing chorizo wrapped dates, I wouldn't think I'd like it but I loveeee them. So so good. Def go during HH to save some money!!! Their white peach sangrias are my favvvvv

Yum! We came by for brunch on a Saturday and elected to sit inside even though the patio was tempting. I've been to this tapas spot a couple of times but never for brunch so I wanted to try a couple of their brunch items. We ended up getting the crystal bread tartine sandwich and a few of my go-tos the chorizo wrapped dates, garlic shrimp, patatas bravas, ham croquetas, and goat cheese in tomato sauce. For 2 people this ended up being way too much food (and too many carbs). Everything was yummy but I wished the food was a bit lighter. Our favorites were the garlic shrimp and the tartine sandwich which had really good flavor. We also each got a glass of sangria which paired perfectly with the food.

Visit: 6/2023 Review finished: 3/2024 Unfortunately I am attempting to finish this review in 2024, long after visiting this establishment so I do not recall my visit here in detail besides giving it 5/5 stars. So I must have really enjoyed it. And in my very trusted book of ratings, I absolutely enjoyed this spot and the food was amazing. So I'll be back and do a better job reviewing next time.

We had very high hopes for this place based on the reviews! Tapas in a very cute restaurant! Yes please. We were immediately seated and ordered a few tapas to try after we ordered some red wine sangria. The sangria was pretty good however the tapas were just so so. We got the potatoes, flank steak, garlic shrimp, ham croquettes and the meatballs. The steak was like 4 pieces + potato mash. The steak came out room temperature like it was sitting out awhile and came with a average mash. The roasted potatoes were good and the ham croquettes were also good. The shrimp were okay. The meatballs were also okay. Very lackluster food. Our waiter also vanished for awhile and we had to leave soon to get to our tour. So that was a little annoying. Maybe we ordered the wrong tapas? Not sure but thought it was okay and very expensive to be okay food.

Took my parents here conveniently in time to take advantage of their incredible happy hour offers on the Friday before Christmas 2023. Our server whose name i unfortunately did not get was incredible! The ambiance of this place is super cozy and inviting. The fact that we were able to get several rounds of different flavored sangria as well as a bunch of tapas all at HH pricing was amazing. I 100% recommend this place to others! I'll be back!

Amazing food! Will definitely come back. Loved it. 5 We had meatballs, empanadas, goat cheese, and chorizo dates! All delicious!

One of my friend's favorite spots and wow!! We each got a white peach sangria and then shared the Patatas Bravas, Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad, and Ibérico Ham Croquetas. Each were fantastic and paired great together. The salad was light and broke up the fried tapas well. The patatas came with a flavorful aioli and the Ham Croquetas were creamy and savory. We sat in the enclosed patio area and the staff were still attentive and accommodating. Highly recommend for a fun spot with friends!

The service was excellent. The ambiance is also very lively and cool but a little on the loud side, which does not make for easy conversation. The sangria was excellent as was the red wine we ordered. Unfortunately, the tapas were a bit disappointing. Perhaps I was expecting a lot given how highly the restaurant was rated, but nothing really stood out. I would definitely avoid the tin tuna -- the only redeeming quality was the bread that came with it. The goat cheese and tomato was very good, but nothing out of the ordinary. The mushroom was really disappointing--needed more salt-- I liked the sauce it came with but even with a generous coating, it tasted bland. The "bikini" bread (basically a panini) was way too oily -- and this was true of a number of dishes here. The croquets and the bacon wrap dates were just okay. A pity, I was really hoping for a home run here.

12/10 espresso martinis! Can't lie the cava sangria gave me a gnarly hangover lol, absolutely loved the coquettas and beef empanadas -- service was fantastic! Our server even gave us complimentary apps including goat cheese and papas!

Very good date's prosciutto. Service is very good as well. Great sangria pitchers. It's a no brainer.

I have dined here several times and I truly enjoy their menu and the service; one thing that can be improved is the consistency of the dishes.

Very moody ambiance and if you are in the front, a bit too dark to see the menu- I suppose that is what phones with flashlights are for. Music was rocking without a DJ but it was crowded and filled with chatter and laughter. But the food, simply delicious and so many fun items to choose from. We ordered patatas bravas- a must for any tapas restaurant (tasty not as crisp as I've had in others- personal preference), roasted hen of the woods mushroom which I gobbled up and swept the extra cheese up with a patatas bravas potato- earthy good sized portion. Deviled eggs are always a great bite and these didn't disappoint with the richness of yolk and a tang of acid. Followed by Iberico ham croquettas which was a deep fried bite of joy- cheesy and salty from the ham. We finished with meatballs and a steak skewer attached to a metal arch. Grilled to perfection. Stop in for a very tasty meal.
