My wife and I met our friends there and it was such a welcoming experience. We really loved the ambiance and that the restaurant was filled with so many locals. That's always a great sign! Recommendations: 1) For Quesos, try the goat cheese with onion chutney and walnuts. It goes great with the bread basket. 2) For Montados, try one with cream cheese and dried tomatoes and capers, and one with serrano ham and brie. So good!

We could only get two stools at the bar which might likely have suited a more romantic and younger couple. Despite this setback due to a previous day in-person last minute reservation the food and ambiance was excellent. Must say despite the frantic activity the staff were friendly, helpful and courteous. Our shared dishes were Grilled Sardines, Black Sausage (the best we've ever tasted), Cod Croquettes (nothing exceptional), Pimentos de Padron & Salad. The wine by the glass was good bit I'd skip the local region French style overly expensive Sauvignon Blanc and stick to Verdejo or other Spanish wines on offer. This is not a restaurant for a relaxing or a laid back evening. I don't think the servers feet ever touch the ground and the kitchen must be volcanic! Great value and well worth a one-off experience. Our meal €64.35 for 2 and like many tourists was rounded up to $65.00. We might be tempted to return but definitely only to sit at a table.

The place is really small with 5-6 bar stools which my sisters and I already took two. There were customers who went away because of overcapacity. We tried the place after reading the rave reviews but thought afterwards that we could have saved ourself the trouble. Each tapas were 3-5 €. The drinks were small so be ready to order several.

Welcoming staff - husband and wife. All smiles and warmth, they were happy to make food and drink recommendations to a Valencia novice that got my evening off to a great start. I had a half-size cheese and meat platter that was freshly prepared and served quickly. A local IPA recommended was a perfect accompaniment. I had to follow up with the smoked sardine tostas- simple yet divine! The sardines were plump and juicy, subtly smoky. Unfortunately these smoky little fish are bought from a fishmonger - nothing I can take back home with me. Afterwards they were happy to suggest some off the tourist track sights to see.

It offers traditional service that was once the normal experience of Spanish restaurants but now becoming a relic of the distant past. We came across this accidentally searching Yelp but with long outdated information hence we were both surprised and enthralled by the service, quality of both food & wine and the ambiance that we rebooked to visit two days later. Fresh perfectly cooked seafood on both occasions. Great starters .....Alcachofas with Iberico Jamon and Baked or grilled (?) Asparagus, Fish: Rodaballo & Lubina Espalda. Reservations essential!
