I came for Sunday brunch at about 1 pm and there were only a few people sitting down (more arrived later). We sat in a little nook by the front door. As always, the service here is excellent and our waiter was very attentive. I have to say, I have never been the greatest fan of their dinner but their brunch was excellent. My friend and I split four dishes: the churro waffle, the Madrid waffle, the fries, and a side of bacon. The churro waffle comes with maple syrup and butter and had a lot of cinnamon flavor. The Madrid waffle came with a berry compote and cream. I am a Vermonter and yet I wasn't missing maple syrup with the Madrid waffle. They really piled on the berries and cream so each bite of the waffle could have both components layered on top. The seasoned fries were very well seasoned and crisp. The bacon was the melt-in-your-mouth consistency that good bacon should be and was still crispy. Additionally, our brunch was actually pretty cost-effective; not what I've come to expect from Saratoga food. This is a great option for a Sunday brunch and I will definitely be coming here again in the near future.

Six of us enjoyed dinner here last night and I cannot say enough good things. The wine, cocktail and NA cocktail lists were extensive. We enjoyed about 10 appetizers and our server staged them perfectly. Our favorites were the dates, brussels sprouts and tomato bread. The highly recommended churros exceeded expectations. We’ll definitely go back to check out the other half of their large selection of tapas!

This is a great little restaurant that we selected because of the many vegetarian options on the menu. All of the food was tasty and the service was good and friendly. Would have given five stars but Brussels sprouts were slightly over seasoned and the paella could have used a few minutes on the burner on high to create the socarrat that is the hallmark of good paella.

A friend chose this spot for dinner. There are lots of options and it being tapas you can share if you wish to. The restaurant itself is very pretty, a good spot if you're looking to impress someone. I had the specialty salad that was not on the menu, the clams, and the fried artichokes. Loved the salad. The clams were cooked ok, but they put some kind of green sauce on top that tasted bitter and threw off the dish in my opinion. Also, it was too salty. I really wanted to try to enjoy that clam broth but the salt wouldn't let me take more than a few spoonfuls. The artichokes were great and even reheated nicely in the air fryer the next day. Had a mocktail that consisted of Limeade, soda water and mashed up mint, at least that's what the menu said but there was only a sprig of mint so really it was like drinking a limeade that was slightly bubbly. Couldn't taste the mint at all. Our server though, I don't remember his name, but he went above and beyond. He really couldn't do more to make our time there more enjoyable. Maybe it was just the things I ordered that weren't remarkable? I wouldn't be against going back if ever I were in the area though.

Went for happy hour the other night. The inside of the restaurant is much nicer than the outside. The food portions were pretty small even for happy hour. Service was ok but only one server for many tables so it took awhile.

We ordered take out since it was raining and this place was 2 min walk from our hotel. Waited for over an hour for the food to arrive. It came cold, without utensils, and tiny portions. Deviled eggs were all squished. The steak plate was mostly potatoes with 3-4 tiny pieces of steak. Maybe it’s better for sit down but would never order from them again.

We love this restaurant and really looked forward to coming last night while we were in town. We sat in the small two top area near the hostess stand. The food was outstanding as always, the area where we sat is a bit quieter so we enjoyed that. Out server seemed either busy or just didn't pay attention. We waited for drinks, table clearance and for the check. I actually had to go ask the hostess for it. Perhaps he was having a bad night. We will come back.

This is a favorite restaurant of mine. It never disappoints. We went for restaurant week. Menu was great and food taste and presentation was excellent. Service was courteous and prompt. Table next to us was very loud so we hurried up and left. I strongly recommend this place.
