One of our best restaurant experiences in a long time. My wife and I are real foodies. This is one restaurant certainly worth repeating again and again.

Unfortunately I was a bit underwhelmed by the food they had. A lot of the food was lukewarm (probably due to the lack of constant heat sources). Also, it seems like the seafood paella always runs out by the time you can get to it, while the vegetable and bacon variants remained largely untouched. Overall I think this place could just benefit from having a heat element to keep their food warm.

Delicious food and cocktails, and not too expensive! We were able to sample a ton of food with drinks and desserts for under $100. Not bad for a nice dinner out. I did find it funny that our dessert was bigger than any dish we ordered, though!

My friend and I went for brunch on Mother's Day - they do buffet style. I think it was 100% worth the price. It's more what I would call Spanish-inspired, but it was all really good food. I especially liked the olive oil cake and the mushroom pintxo.

First time trying a tapas restaurant. Loved the pre-theater dinner. Everything was delicious!! We each chose different plates, to split between us. We were full by the time we finished.

Visited during the restaurant week and the overall experience is good. Food is mediocre though...

So good! We had a 6:45 reservation on Friday night before seeing an 8:00 show at the Forrest Theatre. We arrived a few minutes late (traffic and rain), so I was worried we wouldn't have enough time. However, the hostess and our server assured us we would be okay. Our server was attentive and our food was brought out quickly, but we didn't feel rushed. We were in and out in 45 minutes, with time to spare. We opted for the Pre-Theatre menu (1 appetizer, 2 entrees, and 1 dessert selection each), which is a great deal for $35pp. Our favorites were the Roasted Beets, Pulpo Oloroso (grilled octopus...so good, I would order two next time!), Gambas Al Ajillo (shrimp), and Pork Belly. Even with it being a tapas restaurant, we thought the portions were a nice size. We were full, but not stuffed at the end of our meal. The location is great if you're seeing a show at the Forrest, as it's directly across the street. Looking forward to going back!

Delicious, well prepared small & larger plates. Be brave, you'll be surprised at how good the (1/2) pig's head is! Lovely ambience. Perfect wine list. Acquainted with the owners who are gracious and hard-working.

I had lunch here last week and chose items off the lunch special. I had the balacao (salt cod) and pork belly and both were exquisite. They were accompanied by sourdough bread which was really delicious. Keep in mind that these are tapas, and I found that two were enough for me (dining alone), however prices can get steep depending on your appetite. By the way, service here was excellent !!

Great place for tapas. The squid ink rice was amazing! Definitely looking forward to coming back. The coffee was very good too, super smooth and didn't need any cream or sugar-- for those of us that like it black.

Some of the best cocktails in Philly! Lots of unique options for Tapas as well. In addition, the ambience is trendy with great music to listen to over drinks and dinner. Highly recommend!

The paella was excellent and the service was fine. They make a nice cocktail with Cachaca which is unusual

Went for the tapas buffet brunch and it was excellent! They had a great selection of dishes which were refilled quickly when anything ran out. The brisket and meatballs were standouts but did not have a complaint about anything we tried.
