The food was soggy... (that's not a compliment) We ordered some calamares bravas it tasted like it had just sit in the kitchen for 30 min in the sauce. Also tried the Paella... same issue. What makes a Paella great is the little overcook underneath. We also tried the churros & well this time they were way overcooked. In general, this restaurant should not consider itself "spanish" or "spanish inspired" its a real shame.

One of the best brunches ever. Gravlax de Trucha: Trout gravlax, goat cheese whipped with pepper, herring caviar, cucumber, radish, poached egg, toast. Well located with a great atomosphere, it was so delicious & we had a great time. The menu is various & everything was so good.

Great service, wine & atmosphere, but food is at most ordinary. It was my second time there, but the last one unfortunately.... & I'm not that difficult. I love simplicity in food, but nothing was really carried out well, & I had the same experience the first time.
