    Food was great and there are many excellent options. Very disappointed with our server though. Didn't come to the our table until 10+ minutes after we were seated. Rarely checked-in during our dinner, and we had to flag him down multiple times just to order additional items. We were a group of 8, so maybe the guaranteed gratuity had something to do with it. Supporting staff were very good.

    Slow service AND they still automatically charge a 20% “Service Fee” for dinner on the weekend. Food is decent. They were kind of skimpy on the seafood for the Paella Negra. Ham croquettes were delicious: cheesy and savory.

    We enjoyed the food! Our group was given a table right next to the row of cars with no divider between, so not the nicest ambience. We were late for our reservation, which is why we lost our original table.
