While our food was excellent our service was terrible. Our server was MIA most of the evening. We had a party of 8 and took over an hour to before he returned to our table to check in on us and take additional drink orders. At the end of the evening I literally had to flag him down to ask for the check and he just brushed me off and said there is a QR code on the table to pay. We were very happy with the various dishes and apps I will not be returning given the complete lack of service.

We arrived for our reservation 3 minutes before. The young lady at the hostess stand said something to the affect that give them a minute and they will have a table ready for us in a few minutes. Ok, cool. We stood there for several minutes…and 2 top after 2 top was getting sat while we waited. So after 15 minutes…I checked in…she said there was a miscommunication and we’d get seated right away.
After we were sat a manager came to our table and profusely apologized for the mistake and us having to wait so long and offered us a round of drinks on the house. Which was appreciated.
Food was amazing other than the shrimp dish, which was under seasoned and overcooked. I told the server, as she asked…and she was going to take it off the bill I believe? But I told her not to, my dinner guest liked it…but I just wanted her to know.
Even though there was some ups and downs I highly recommend this place.. delicious food, amazing drinks, professional service staff and a great atmosphere. They also gave me some free cava tickets for the next time we’re in Chicago. Again, very appreciated…and I’ll be back. 🍾

A friend recommended this place, and it did not disappoint! The interior is so cool and beautiful, you can’t help but look around and take in all the details (I loved it). The food was so good, and the croquetas and jamón were definitely the standouts!
