Loved the decor here-very beatrix-esque boho, sultry lighting interior, lots of very good attention to detail and it adds to the overall experience.I also felt we received such warm treatment from all the staff!They have a range of small traditional tapas plates, modern ones, and big entrees like meats and paellas. Loved everything that I tried below. Amontillado Old Fashioned: Just a few ingredients that came together really well. I would recommend!Bocadillo de Sobresada: Chorizo spread layered with goat cheese on thin bread. Great flavor combination. Tacos de Pescado: Fish tacos on a thicker tortilla (almost like a tostada) which held up so well under the thick filet and huge pile of dill/cilantro on top (I love dill so this was fantastic).Pulpo a La Plancha: Octopus with duck fat potatoes. It was recommended we mix it all together and it was amazing. The sauce was my favorite part it was such a unique bright flavor I would eat that by itself!

The restaurant is small and has beautiful decor and is aesthetically pleasing. We had a party of 5 for a 7 pm reservation and despite the fact the inside was virtually empty, they tried to seat us outside in front. Unfortunately, the noise level was off the charts. The bar next door, Little Victories, was blasting music very loudly and Mama Delia was competing with loud music of their own. Add the passing traffic noise and we couldn't hear each other conversing at the table. We asked to be moved inside and put us at a bar table right at the entry door under their speakers. It was still loud and we made 3 requests to lower the music before they finally accommodated us. We ordered several tapas which were decent, but nothing special. The roasted chicken was flavorful but still rather underwhelming. The waitstaff was either inexperienced or not properly trained. The server was awkward opening wine bottles (spilled some on the table) and poured full glasses for us to taste for approval. The roasted chicken doesn't come with a side so I ordered a tapa and asked that it accompany the chicken when it came out. The tapa side came out almost immediately and 20 minutes before the chicken. The restaurant remained virtually empty from the time we arrived at 7 pm until we left at around 9:30 pm.Overall, our experience was disappointing and I am mystified as to how this restaurant was awarded a Bib Gourmand in the Michelin Guide.

We had resys for a Friday evening and opted to sit outside. After 15 minutes it became clear that it was getting cold and they were kind enough to let us switch inside. It's a more intimate vibe inside than expected as I was afraid we wouldn't be able to carry a conversation. No issues!The night we went they had changed the menus. Our servers were less familiar with the wine list and dishes, unfortunately. We ordered the octopus, anchovies, and shishito peppers to start with the monkfish paella as our shared main. The timing of the dishes were perfect given the paella required 40 minutes. The anchovies were delightful coming with toasted bread to complement the tomato base well. The octopus was grilled nicely and heavier than anticipated in a good way. The shishito peppers were delightful, hard to make it a poor choice. The monkfish paella wasn't our favorite. The rice wasn't there, a bit harder than expected. One drawback of the drink menu is that it wasn't clear what was red vs white wine and where they split. Service was attentive and it was a fun spot to try.

Lunch at this neighborhood Spanish restaurant, the Gazpacho was really amazing. Inside beautiful decor, you feel like you could be in Spain.

Came here for restaurant week on a Saturday night at 9pm. It's street parking so better to take an Uber or park in a garage. The restaurant was interesting. We checked in at the front then was brought up through a flight of stairs. The vibe and decorations gave off a very homey feel. We started off with some drinks and the drinks were all very tasty. We came for the pre fixed dinner menu so we got to pick 2 starters, 1 entre and 1 dessert. We couldn't believe that they ran out of the croquettes! It was sad that we couldn't order it, since everyone raves about it. We got the peppers, sardines and the jamon platter to start off. Then we got the pork cheek and the shrimp dish as the entree. The pork cheek dish was super good! We also ordered a paella (squid ink). That was delicious! We then got the 2 desserts. I gotta say, there is something in the hazelnut ice cream dessert that tasted weird. It was like a bitter taste. Overall, this was a great place for a last minute restaurant week. Will have to come back again to try to the croquettes!

I'm obsessed!! The sweetest staff/best vibes. This place is huge! Service was very quick, bringing everything out in increments. I had the daiquiri to drink which was phenomenal, rum and banana is the perfect pair!We had a group of 4, and got a lot to share! Some of my favorite were the scallops and the croquettes. These scallops were amazing, some of the best I have had, melt in your mouth. And the croquettes were so full of flavor. I love this place! They have a little bit of everything! Cant wait to come back!

We came here for a Bachelorette party and were really disappointed in the experience.My friends ordered the dates and lamb, the dish was about 90% dates with just a few pieces of meat. One of the dishes in our party was forgotten and they didn't bring a replacement out until every one else had finished eating. It was very hard to flag down a server.The Flamenquin I ordered was ok and we did like the shishito peppers and croquetas.The upstairs seating area where they placed us was freezing and they were unable to get it any warmer.Between the food and the service I wouldn't return. If you do go, maybe off peak hours would help.

This place is so cool! The vibe is so relaxed and chill, the colors and sounds around you just feed your appetite even more! The modern artistic twists to classic Spanish dishes looks fantastic, tastes absolutely delicious, and is easy on the wallet for the portions! Yum!

My favorite part of this place was the atmosphere. I really enjoyed the mosaic tile, cushy seating, and warm ambiance. The stuffed dates were my favorite dish. They really didn't taste very sweet, but the meat and cheese inside them were quite tasty.The croquetas were very soft, but tasty. Not greasy-tasting. The scallops were cooked to a very nice texture and tasted quite good. The green sauce that cane with them was very smoky, and I would probably eat less of it on the scallop next time.

When I came here a few years back I loved it but more recently, the service was slow and inattentive even though they were not very busy. The ambiance was still nice. The food was still tasty but unbelievably they attempted to pass of shrimp as prawn on the Arroz Negro. When server finally returned I asked about it and I go no real answer as to why only apology and offer of a comped sherry drink I didn't want.
