Five star food at an unlikely venue. The food here was fabulous! Certainly a hidden gem. The problem with gems like this is that you want them to remain hidden so you can enjoy them without the crowds but if they remain hidden they'll disappear. Alas, the food here was just too good to keep quiet about. We love paella and tapas and that's what brought us here. We had the Arroz Del Mar and it was delicious . This was only the second restaurant we ventured out to since Covid-19 and it was well worth our visit. We ate outside the Mall on a beautiful day and enjoyed the best calamari we've ever eaten (and we've eaten plenty). Mike, the manager was a wonderful host and server aside from the fact that he had no staff (because covid has made it hard to find employees). Service was great. The paella was more than enough to share between my husband and I and because we ordered the calamari (which, again, was so delicious) we really had no wait even though they warned us it would take 30 minutes (of course it would, that's how long it takes to make paella to order). We split a bottle of the Old York RSVP Chardonnay which complimented the meal nicely and because this is a tasting room we didn't pay any restaurant mark up. Mike assured us that we could pick anything on the menu and we would enjoy it just as much. We can't wait to go back and hold him to his word.

The service is top notch, the wines are to yearn for, the steak tantalizing! I enjoyed every bit!

The food is amazing. I've come here at least 3 times and have never had anything I wouldn't have again. The paella is amazing. Wine is good. The chef knows what he's doing. I'm only giving 4 stars due to the service. All 3 times I've been here the service was so slow. I'm talking at least 2 hours from start to finish for a couple tapas and paella when they were not crowded. The servers are inattentive and overall slow. Pictured is the cheeseboard, meatballs and paella del chef. All delicious. Would also highly recommend the churros for dessert.

I was excited to find this place after Despana closed in Princeton. We ordered the paella negra and it was overwhelmingly salty. Like seawater. We couldn't finish and left feeling ill.

The charcuterie boards are overpriced for what is provided. No crackers. The cheese and meat are very subpar/nothing special. You are better off just getting the small plates. The Spanish meatballs were good and well priced. The flights were also good value. The service is also very slow. So make sure you have enough time to sit around.

My friend and I decided to check this place out and by the end of our lunch we were soooo happy that we did. Both of our meals came out great, and we definitely enjoyed our wine! Our waitress was so kid and friendly! I will definitely be going back :)

Food is made fresh to order although I may have came close to closing (8ish) and felt the food could've been rushed. The rice was a bit undercooked, however it was still tasty. Ordered the Paella de Chef. Also ordered a side of the chroizo, also very good - a bit pricy for the portion. Also got the croquettas with chicken - very good flavor, light on the breading .. texture was perfect. Lastly, the wine is tasty - great variety to choose from...would recommend & would go back.

They put my card in the system without my knowledge and charged me without my consent. The staff had no knowledge of how to take my card off their system even though they were the people that put it in the system. This has been extremely violating. Now I have to figure out how to get my card removed.

Service is very nice and willing to take time to answer questions. We love their wine selection and their food is very flavorful with something for everyone. Always have had a good time with my taste buds dancing. They do have outdoor seating as well!

Earlier in the day we spent time at the winery for tapas and tasting. We enjoyed the tapas so much we decided to stop at the tasting and food store at the Quaker Bridge Mall. Masks are required and seating is limited. The staff is extremely friendly and when we mentioned going to the winery we found the same phone ordering and paying apply as at the winery. Nice that they are connected. We ordered soups and several tapas, with a glass of wine. They also have larger dishes, including paellas for two which can take 30 minutes to prepare. The leek potato soup was thick, hearty and flavorful. The chicken vegetable soup was full of chicken and vegetables and the broth was not salty but delicious. We ordered clams salsa verde, garlic shrimp, ham croquetes and truffle fries. The seafood was fresh and delicious. The croquetes were crispy outside, but soft and creamy inside and the truffle fries were a nice accompaniment to them all. We look forward to going back and trying a paella for two next time. Based on the tapas we expect them to be just as delicious!

Nice idea .... Poor execution!! Only an ounce pour for flights! Other wineries offer at minimum a 2 ounces. In the photo, the 6 tasters cost $15. Are you not trying to promote your products?? Overpriced wine. OYC management...you had an opportunity to gain new customers but did not close the deal because of your stinginess. One ounce is not sufficient to make a decision on a $30 bottle of wine. Also, no one offered to explain OYC membership. Cannot recommend.On a positive note, the mussels were plumb and excellent. Note there is a $3 bread charge for 6 small pieces.

There always very friendly there. They have great options as flights n they take their time to learn what you like. And after shopping for hours, you couldn't ask for a better break.
