    I had lunch with four friends and I had the best time. They offer a tapas experience with an intimate wine bar. This place has it all and the wine list is exceptional. They are known for their Paella Saturday and included a pic of the paella that two of my friends had in the slides. They have recently added paella to a daily rotation just call if you have questions. I ordered bread service, Ensalada de Remolacha which is a red beet salad with orange segments, pistachios and a goat cheese mousse and I must say top 4 best salad I've ever had in my life. I also had Fritura de Alcachofa which is a corn starch fried artichoke in a romesco sauce. For the wine I had a red blend by Paul & Remy and a sparkling Rose .. forgot to write down the name. Such a cool date night spot or a great place for a business meeting. The service was amazing and the chef, manager and staff were all amazing. Joy was my server ask for her if you visit. Let's talk value. I do think this place is pricy though and that is why I dropped a star. It was amazing but it's not a place I could go to every week. I think my lunch total was $75 for just me and for lunch that's more than I usually spend. I also thought the portions were small especially my artichoke dish. If you check it out let me know.

    Came here with a friend looking to try a nice tapas place. Unique style, quaint, and best of all delicious food, all this passes with flying colors (pun intended) Atmosphere: Very colorful but not overwhelming, the big seller for me was that the bar table is an airplane tail wing, giving reason for the name. Food: Tapas, so expect many good sharable perfect for brining a friend along. I shared a bottle of wine as well due to their selection. My favorite tapas were the ham, beef, and pork. There's quite a few options but the severs will be happy to assist. Service: As stated above friendly service and more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Plane & Level, it's plane to see that this place is amazing and worth a visit if you are around the area. Perfect for any outing with a friend and to share a conversation with.

    My friend and I came in on a girls night, this place was so unique and beautiful, very cozy snd intimate. Great for a date night! The staff was super friendly and attentive. We ordered a few of the plates. The food was good, but the portions were way too small for what they were charging. Overall, this place was really nice but we left hungry and went and got burgers and wings after somewhere else.

    This was an interesting experience. I'll first say that I am from Spain so I am probably biased in my opinion. I really did enjoy the food. It was delicious and flavorful and fairly authentic. However, the price point was not that of tapas. The portion size compared to price did not add up. We spent over $100 and were nowhere near full. We actually had to go to another restaurant afterwards to actually feel like we had a full meal which was the first time I've ever done this. Now, could we have ordered more and spent a lot more? Yes, but I didn't want to. So if you are fine with the prices and can get your fill then great! Just be aware that these are very small portions as they are tapas sized. The croquetas de chorizo were delicious but much smaller than anything I've ever had in Spain. The scallops was my favorite plate. Very delicious. The patatas Bravas were fried to perfection and I just wish there had been more. The octopus was a little tough on the thicker end and very small. The basque cheesecake was not the burnt style I am used to but it was very delicious and I loved the mint and orange peel. Overall I loved the food just not the portion/price point ratio. It is a really nice small restaurant. We had no idea it was airplane themed so it was kind of confusing for the first ten minutes. I think it needs to be made more obvious. When we walked in the waitress kept saying you can sit at the wing or at a table and I kept asking her to repeat herself because I had no idea what she was talking about. She finally said bar. The bar is actually made out of an airplane wing but we had never been there and I couldn't tell from the door as people were sitting there so it was just confusing. The waitresses were even wearing flight attendant uniforms which was wholly unexpected. It was cute once we were aware of the themed experience. Service was great. Very professional and attentive. However being a Spaniard, the waitresses had a hard time understanding me when I ordered even though I was reading clearly from the menu. They also could not actually pronounce anything on the menu. They even had trouble saying grape varietals when explaining the wines. I think some training on proper pronunciation would be helpful since this is supposed to be an authentic high end experience. Now lastly there are two walls of shelves with rose wine right in front of glass window walls. While aesthetically pleasing...it was a very sunny day. I believe these are served to patrons and this exposure to sunlight is damaging the wine. We were very confused that a wine place would do this with their bottles.

    Thomas made our experience exceptional! We stopped in on a whim because of the airplane theme and our friend is a pilot. Thomas directed me to a lovely Tempranillo. He had a couple other selection ideas because there are so many options. All are unique to this restaurant! Our friend got the Plane & Level Martini (it's made with wine because they do not have a liquor license) and she was very pleased. My hubby got the Bock...he was a happy camper! We also tried the croquet & yellowtail tapas. Delish!! We finished it off with a taste of the Mas Amiel 85....not gonna spill the beans. Plan on pairing with the chocolate tort!!

    Service was so slow and we were the only ones here? Plus we ordered a salad and we ended up getting it to go since it was delivered AFTER the dessert. I want to come back and give the place another try since it was so cute and quaint inside but the slow service and salad to go was no acceptable for the amount we spent. The duck was amazing and the empanadas were good. The decor and ambience is so elegant and makes you feel like you're in Spain, at a tapas bar.

    If you love sharing small plates, great wine and a chill but elevated ambience this place is for you. They have a great selection of wines you can choose from by the glass or the bottle. One top of their menu they have daily specials you can choose from. Our waitress was amazing! She was very attentive and kept the water, wine and cocktails flowing. Most of us chose one of her recommendations which was a special. The lamb kabobs with the sweet potato purée was amazing! The flavors were so different but complimented each other so well! This place if you are alone, a couple, or in a bigger group!

    We lucked out - walked in after shopping. Wanted a cool glass of wine and ended up staying 2 hours. Stephanie is AMAZING! She answered all my questions and was so patient with us as we couldn't decide. All the staff was first class; attentive and friendly. We did a wine flight and had several tapas. There was an extensive wine list and a variety of food for the pickiest of eaters. Everything we had was amazing.

    This place has such a nice ambiance, music is very nice and relaxing. Very appropriate for the tapas style of food. Every single plate we ordered was perfect! Very tasty, perfectly cooked and amazing presentation. The service also was immaculate! We didn't order much because we made a mistake of having eaten ice-cream a little before coming here, so we were not on empty stomach. Nevertheless, we hope to come back soon to try the rest of the tapas.

    I really enjoyed the food at this place. Great flavor. My only issue is that it was very expensive. Also, I noticed they had quite a few wine bottles on shelves near windows. That's a lot of light and heat going into those bottles. Probably not the best placement for those. Especially with how expensive they are. I'd hate to spend a lot of money and get a wine that has been destroyed by the heat and sunlight.

    Excellent Rose Tasting! Really nice venue. Tapas was pretty pricey for what you get. Having been for tapas many times we were looking for a bit more seasoning and a better value. Chef behind the bar was very personable and seemed to enjoy speaking with customers.

    Wow. Authentic Spanish tapas in Old Town Spring? Yup! Not only are the dishes intensely (and wonderfully) flavored, the wine list is a delight. We stumbled in for a late lunch on a Sunday afternoon and were absolutely blown away. We ordered the gambas, croquettes, duck breast, and about 10 other things. Each was beautifully presented with quite a flavor payoff. The octopus was divine! Having been to Spain 3 times, I can honestly say this place comes about as close to a great night in Madrid as you can get, absent an 8 hour flight!

    Ask the Community - Plane & Level

    Is there a happy hour?

    No, they do not offer any discounted days. The food and service is of the caliber of a nice restaurant in Houston, but available without a 45+ minute drive into the loop. Definitely worth saving up for the experience on a special occasion.

    Is there outdoor seating?

    Yes

    How much is the paella and rose on Saturday?

    The paella is a tapa and $18. The rose is the recommended pairing and is offered separately. They have over 9 dry roses by the glass and the bottle, and flights of 3 or 4 as well.

    Is there live music on Friday nights?

    No. Live music is on Saturdays...
