Such a great place for a chill vibe & good food! They have a delicious charcuterie board that pairs wonderfully with their seasonal sangria flight. Even though they were very busy and we sat in the bar area Madison took great of care us and ensured my meal could gluten free. 10 outta 10 would recommend!
We had lunch and the food was delicious, we had the pulled pork , chicken milanesa but our favorites were the tomato soup and the Gambas in Angel Hair. Sebastian and Lucy were amazing! We will be back to try the paella!!
We decided to eat here for our (1 week removed) valentines dinner. The food was fantastic. The drinks were delicious. The restaurant itself was so cozy, and the live music was a welcomed surprise. Emalie was an amazing waitress with great suggestions. One of, if not the best dinners we’ve had in Bryan/college station. Will be back!
Having traveled to many locations across the globe, we found this establishment to offer some of the finest tapas in the United States, and the experience was truly delightful. The food, service, and atmosphere were all outstanding. Our server, Gio, was exceptionally knowledgeable and provided excellent recommendations for tapas, wine, and dessert. Each dish was incredibly tasty, fresh, and expertly prepared, making it a pleasure to sample the various offerings. It is advisable to visit between 5 and 6 PM for their happy hour, where tapas and desserts are significantly discounted. We vsuted on Bryan's first Friday and that is a very busy time to be in downtown at that time of the month. Reservations are recommended, as the restaurant opens at 5 PM and quickly becomes quite busy.
Had a great experience. The vibe of the restaurant is very cozy and welcoming. The live entertainment added a nice atmosphere. The tapas were great and they had a nice selection of beverages and wine list. Definitely would return and would recommend for a date night or larger party.
