Tapas time! Yes Please!…read more Had dinner here on a whim on a cold Saturday night. As soon as we walked in we noticed the place was jammed packed. We were lucky to get seated at the last two spots at the bar since we didn't have a reservation. The bar seating was actually nice because they had a nice display of liquor to show off. The waitress/waiters were very nice. They quickly got waters for us a couple of glasses of wine. We really like Spanish wines and they had a few Tempranillo wines to choose from so that was nice. We decided to share some Tapas and we were overwhelmed with all the options. Everything looked so good! We finally decided on the sautéed mushrooms, grilled shrimp (gambas), honey eggplant which was a nice sweet surprise and roasted potatoes with a yummy sauce. Everything tasted fresh and had great flavors. The service was great and the staff was very attentive and polite. I am curious now to try their Pallela but that's for next time!

It's a small space and at dinner time, it's packed. I suggest making a reservation if you plan to come at peak time. It's not fancy but it's good. The staff was working very hard, but for a small staff, they were pretty attentive. We enjoyed all of our food. My favorite was the chicken paella and the chorizo sausage. The prices were also affordable for the amount of food provided. I recommend and I'd stop back in!

Good thing one of the girls behind the counter spoke English because the menu is in Spanish. Good thing is there are pictures so even if they didn't it wouldn't be an issue. I didn't see chichironies but asked if they had them and they said yes. I got them. If you've never had chichironies (chunks of fried skin pork) you should stop in and have them. We'll be back just for those. FYI, they also have a small bar.

There were a number of things wrong here. It claims to be a Tapas restaurant. However, the Tapas…read moreitems are all what I would call traditional appetizer options, no mains geared toward tasting. Also, the main that I ordered, Mar y Tierra, surf and turf, had the flattest segment of flank steak I've ever eaten. It was more like a paper thin steak you would use to make a steak sandwich. The shrimp were done nicely, and the white rice was very good. It was certainly not worth $28. And lastly, though I cannot accuse them, it was very coincidental that I pad with credit card, and the very next day my cc number and info was used to order flights and airline tickets and hotels at Agoda.com, Priceline, United Airlines, etc., to the tune of almost $1K. Luckily I have alerts set up on my card and was able to report the fraud quickly. If going here, I would say pay with cash.

Craft cocktails are featured and everyone in our group ordered one and all of us liked them. Music was a little loud as space is small. The TV had a music video channel on. If you're looking for a quiet place this may not be your first choice but it was fine for us (good food and drink makes everything tolerable). Will definitely go back.

That's exactly what Matador delivers, especially if you are the carnivorous type. I really enjoyed sitting at the bar top affording me a clear view of the exhibition kitchen and the open wood fire pit. The radiant heat was especially terrific on a cold winters night. I opted for the hangar steak which was perfectly cooked medium rare. A dollop of compound butter seamlessly coated the meat and formed a wonderful complement to the meat. The accompanying fries were freshly made, tossed in herbs and cheese and was a great counter texture to the tender meat. The chefs take obvious care in their craft and it shows (and tastes). They will take your order until 10:30p most nights - don't miss it especially if you're a guest at the Hilton!

That said, I wouldn't go out of my way to visit. The food was just okay, especially for the price. The portions were on the smaller side and felt a bit expensive for what you get. They do offer gluten-free options, which is always appreciated. Overall, a decent, convenient spot if you're nearby, but not necessarily a destination restaurant.

Our server Catherine was the best. My first time here, she helped me navigate the menu and wine list. She was very attentive and friendly. FOOD: Outstanding! I tried several tapas options and I enjoyed every single one. My favorite was the lemon hummus - YUM! But the olives, patatas bravas, and hamachi crudo were pretty darn tasty! High recommend for this place - I was surprised to find out it was part of a chain, but it feels like its own local restaurant.
