Fodor's Review:
You could make a meal of the small dishes that dominate the menu at this tapas restaurant. You won't go wrong ordering the sweet sausage in brandy or the turnovers stuffed with lobsters and passing them around the table. If you're not into sharing, there are five different kinds of paella that arrive on huge plates. There's a long, lively bar inside; one dining area overlooks a pleasant courtyard, whereas the other takes in the action along Calle Cristo. Even if you have dinner plans elsewhere, consider stopping here for a nightcap.

Based upon Fodor's pick we tried the restaurant this week. It is terrific. We had never been to a tapas restaurant before and we really enjoyed it. All of the dishes we had were great, using fresh, quality ingredients and they all had great flavor. We went with a group of 5 so we tried at least 10 different plates, using our server Tony's recommendations and he was right on.
Worth the trip.

Entrees were great, special drinks and atmosphere. A little under staffed but worth it.
