Hands down one of the best dinner spots in the whole city. Always suggest this place to out-of-towners. The wrapped dates are incredible.

I just walk away. This is being one of my favorite restaurants. I was greeted by the host with a really bad attitude. She gave me a free bad faces. I had to walk away.

The food here is well seasoned and filling when dishes are shared in a group in true tapas fashion. The tasty food and sangria complement the warm setting perfect for date night or any evening out with friends. I went with two friends on a Wednesday evening and sat at the bar as we didn't have a resv, and the bartender waited on us like we were at a table. It was a truly pleasurable dining event.

Really cool spot with great sangrias. the food in general was very ok. Most dishes had not enough season for my taste but I were close to hitting the mark. given that it's in Chicago, you can do better on food, but the drinks and vibe were fantastic. I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for an insane culinary experience but a cool spot for drinks and a bite as you get tipsy

My girlfriend brought me here for my love of paella, she would've rated it 5 stars herself for all of her previous visits.Food was good overall. Paella was mixed at our table and served on plates instead of out of the cast iron, which I thought was odd, and made it cool down too quickly. No socarrat at all, I'd prefer the burnt layer be served.Several server snafus and a cockroach running along the wall within inches of our food however make this a do-not-return for me. Cockroach was brought to the manager's attention and he shrugged and noted that it's an old building. Totally get it but a top-rated restaurant should have its pest issues sorted at least such that they aren't running through a packed dining room at 4pm.
