One staff spoke English, and provided to us an English menu which helped tremendously for our first dinner in Spain. This staff alone was super friendly, fun, and kind to us while we're figuring out the type of dinner to enjoy in Spain. I have no idea how the chefs do it, but two chefs were able to cook an incredible variety of dishes all super delicious and well. We ordered calamari (the most tender fried calamari I've ever HAD), fried veal, pig ears, patatas bravas, and paella. Everything was super delicious and we had a wonderful time. They take VISA so it was easy to close our tab as well.

Service was good and the rest of food was decent it's just hard not to forgive messing up, essentially, the national dish. We had the steak, focaccia, calamari, potatas bravas, padrón peppers, salad and paella. All of it was pretty darn good, except the paella. The outdoor seating is on a nice open area in front of the restaurant.

This turned out to be a great local tapas establishment. Truly authentic, great wine and scrumptious tapas. We came in at 2:30 in the afternoon, the right time for lunch. We drank fantastic Cava and Albariño For tapas, we ordered the rabbit ribs, pork ribs with honey, and the black sausage. Every dish was delicious, and you can taste the local sourcing of the fresh food. Once again, we had the focaccia with tomato which is are now go to appetizer/tapa. So fresh and so delicious.

Everywhere we went needed reservation, but thank god this place had some space. Felt like a local spot, since everyone around us was speaking Spanish. We ordered the octopus, patatas bravas, pan tomate, and croquettes. I am someone that dislikes potatoes, but wow these potatoes really blew me away. Perfectly sliced and fried, the sauce was also impeccable. The octopus was also very tender and paired very well with the sauce. Everything tasted fresh and crisp, such a great find. Slightly pricier than I expected restaurants to be around the area, but definitely a trendy and worthy spot. Bottled water was also like $1, which was amazing. Atmosphere 10/10 Quite loud, a lot of conversations going on inside, but I enjoyed this vibe. Very lively and young crowd, we fit right in. Great interior decor, a lot of marble and brass details. Service 8/10 They were friendly and happily entertained our attempts at speaking Spanish, a good time.

However when we first walked in, we were asked if we had a reservation and once I told the manager (I think he was either that or the owner?), that we didn't have one, he completely ignored us and continued speaking with woman ahead of us. We were seated in the back room, by the restrooms and it was so warm!! They quickly turned up the AC, and the room slowly cooled down. Aside from that cold interaction when we first walked in, the food and waiters were great. The waiter asked for tip as well.

Asked for large padron peppers and somehow got those and patatas bravas with so much mayonnaise er, aioli glopped on top our arteries hardened just looking at it. (A shame bc the potato chunks were fried and salted nicely!) Ate in the courtyard, which seemed good at first but then noted it felt odd sitting outside of a grocery store. Applause to the server who took half the paella cost off when we mentioned the salt level and for that kindness and attentiveness overall -3 stars.
