    Good drinks and everything tastes delicious! I appreciate tapas and making sure there’s enough to feed a small group for Happy Hour. It was very busy the night I dined so service was a little lacking. However they tried their best and I have to give it to the wait staff on managing the drop ins right before the Capitals game!

    Fun venue, good food, good service until they disappeared. I enjoyed the montado de bistec e chorizo Mac 'n' cheese a little heavier and stronger cheese than I would have expected. OK tortilla and veggie paella. Speedy service until the last dish we ordered after which we were left hanging. Luckily you can just pay by scanning the bar code at the table (very nice!)

    Food was the best and the service was slow. Plus they have too many fees when paying the tab. I got chased down by the waiter because I didn't leave a good enough tip. Don't be a waiter because the pay most of the time sucks.

    We had the Chef's Menu for the table. Everything was delicious, but the mushroom croquettes and the steamed mussels were my favorites of the evening. The servers did a great job handling our large group, especially given how busy the restaurant was as a whole.

    Great, great food without question. Very nice place. But I have to point out the equally best part of out experience at this place. Alexa; our waitress. She was outstanding. She totally dominated the menu. Making suggestions with total authority. I didn’t tell her my culinary background because I don’t like making people nervous. We had an intricate conversation about some ingredients in the menu and their reactions to the recipes, this girl knows what she’s talking about. We are in town for a very special occasion. My wife and I will be taking home our experience with Alexa as a wonderful DC souvenir. Thank you.
