Place is very nice. The service was great. A selection of Tapas food. Wide variety of liquor, including a good selection of tequila.
Found the food to be so so with little flavor. Very bland. Over priced for amount of food. Very big disappointment. Wine was Excellent. Would not recommend.
The fried eggplant was amazing. Shrimp was over done. Black squid ink paella rice it self was delicious but the seafood on top didn’t have any flavor(calamari was deep fried plus there was any sauce to connect the black ink rice to seafood above,might as well be 2 separate dish). Cream bule was amazing. Soda was served in a small cup which was def not satisfying. Waiter Michael was awesome, very attentive. Place is nice. I gave the 4 star due to the paella
In terms of the food, this is a poor comparison to a true authentic tapas experience that you could receive in the Ironbound or other areas of New Jersey.
First off, their hours listed on Google for Saturday start at 4 PM. We prefer to eat early so we arrived at 3:50 PM. Host tells us to wait outside since they do not open until 5 PM. The host offered to send someone to bring drinks. After 15 minutes, no one came. We left and came back at 4:57 PM with another couple right behind us. The host again tells us they do not open until 5 PM. We stood aside along with the other couple. Another group came after us at 5:05 PM and the host seats them immediately while we stand there waiting. They did not even acknowledge our presence until we aggressively requested to be seated.
Trendy atmosphere, however be prepared to struggle to hear your conversation. Poor service due to limited staff members and crowd size.
Service was OK, server was not very accomplished but pleasant. Wine was excellent. Food just OK. Nothing like the Ironbound in Newark. Management has to get its act together. You only get one chance to make a good impression and turning us away twice then serving someone who comes after you is unacceptable. I would say it is probable an OK restaurant and the food is good, not great Give it a try. They are new, but initial impressions are everything and we will not be returning.
