Went here for a business lunch, and it was excellent. I had the squid entree (3 large squid with a black ink sauce and rice), which was delicious.

Spanish Diner is a step down, IMHO, in quality, presentation, and flavor. Service is welcoming and sincere, and for a weeknight, I guess it's okay, but I cannot recommend.
