Nice people! good Food/drinks. The menu is friendly and no presumptions. Spanish Tapas with a Northwestern touch.

First experience was awesome.. staff was friendly.. here told us what it's best to eat there.. we were impressed alot.. definitely visiting again

We tried this restaurant for lunch on a Sunday and liked the upscale ambience of it. The food options are good but we tried to stick with hot tapas and flatbread. Beverage options looked interesting but we did not try. In hot tapas chicken skewer was average, a bit charred and dry. Pork mignon was delicious, especially the sauce and the crispy bacon wrap. Shrimp and chorizo was good but i could live without the black lentils. Finally the stake, grape, arugula and goat cheese flatbread was awesome. I would say the dishes were a mix of great and average. I was also a bit annoyed with the over eagerness of the servers to clean the plates while we were still working on it. The restaurant was by no means full, so did not get the motivation behind it. We also found that the food came in random order, but it was okay as it was hot. Paella seemed to be very pricey, hence we did not order. But with 3 tapas and 1 flatbread we were pretty full.

Love the tapas and drinks, the place has a very nice vibe, service is amazing too. We tried the octopus, croquettes, spanish tortilla, clams and gazpacho. Everything was really really tasty! I’d come back here every week if I could!

I believe we were the first customers for Happy Hour when they opened yesterday, Nov 2, on their first day. We had the sangria which was very good and came in a large glass. For tapas we tried the calamari, the chicken drumsticks, the empanadas, and the wild mushroom dough balls.......all were very good but the calamari and the drumsticks were outstanding. Prices were reasonable. Service was outstanding: so many people working there and yet there was no hovering or pressure to buy whatsoever. We stayed there almost 2 hours sitting at the bar. The piped in music was absolutely spot on in terms of the selection and volume. There are not actually very many good Spanish restaurants in this area, so we definitely plan to go back. And being located basically in Bell Square, the parking was super easy.

Cocktails are unique and well crafted. Tapas plates are delicious and decent portion. Pricey though, but worth it.

I was walking by this place with my family and decided to try this place. Overall, this place was disappointing for a couple of reasons: quality of food and price. My wife and I shared the seafood Paella ($29/person, minimum 2 people). The serving for two people was small and not worth the money; the dish was very salty; half of the mussels were closed; the seafood paella did not smell like seafood at all. For my kids, I order mac-n-cheese. Both dishes were served some 15 minutes apart. We got the paella first. I had to remind the waiter about the mac-n-cheese for my hungry kids. We had to wait another 15 minutes for the mac-n-cheese to arrive with a "I am sorry" apology. Perhaps this place is getting good ratings for tapas and maybe it is worth trying tapas at this place, but I am not coming back for paella! The size of the paella for two people and the fact that it was too salty was not worth $58. Feels like a rip off!

Fantastic tapas and environment. Great variety of small plates to choose from and a unique drink experience. If you're interested in paella, make sure you come for dinner as it's not available at lunch. We missed the memo but will definitely be back for the paella soon!

Disappointing, this place could have been so much better but the food was mediocre at best. If you have been in Spain you can see the food doesn't even compare. The Patatas Bravas were some greasy version with a mild sweet taste to it, the tortilla was dry lacking the authentic olive oil flavor. I was so excited to try this place but unfortunately the food is not up to their prices.

Interesting and decent food. Happy hour everyday. Large spaces. Would recommend.

Easily my new favorite restaurant in the Bellevue area! Phenomenal Spanish food that should be at the top of your “Go-To” list

Love this place! I'm Spaniard and it was like being back home! A great opportunity to taste Spanish wines and enjoy the happy hour in Spain... I mean, in Bellevue. 😊

Quality of the food is well below the price being charged for it.Tapas, in general were good, not excellent. The paella was below average rating; it was extremely salty, the rice was under cooked and the texture was soupy (extremely wet).We ordered two desserts and were given three by mistake, they were so bad no one tried more than two spoonfuls of them... and we asked the waiter to take them away. The only good thing was the Sangría, it was really good.

Delicious tapas along with great service and nice ambience. I would definitely recommend the chicken skewers, lamb stuffed piquillo peppers and any of the flat bread options.

Had a delightful happy hour here with friends. We ordered bacon wrapped dates, tapenada, calamari, crab and artichoke dip, a cheese board, brussells sprouts, and a flat bread. Everything was tasty and the waitstaff was friendly. My only complaint is that the portions are a bit small for the price.
