Disappointing doesn't accurately convey how bad our meal was tonight... Nearly an hour to get our food, which was extremely bland and small (think crostini size for 1 whole tapas). I'm okay to pay more for small servings if the flavor is good, but it all tasted as if no seasoning had been used. Not even salt. Dry, bland, bad. The beef skewer was tiny and chewy for $12. This picture is what you get for $62. Don't be fooled into thinking this is what you should get for your money. If you want a truly great meal, head over to Restaurant Christine just down the road. Don't waste your time or money here.

I don't often post a bummer experience. But this was that from start to finish. The food was bland and very scant portions (even for tapas). It took an hour to get any of our food. Service: a lack of attention and water. We left hungry. We have paid 1/2 the price for better food and full stomachs. Don't waste your money or time with this place. You'll leave feeling robbed like we did.

This place is interesting. They are having an identity crisis.Even the decoration is sporadic. Some wood, some faux brick, some tile, some chalk board. It’s all over the map.They have about eight menus with everything from a fancy egg in a cup to sushi.It’s good food but you just never know what you’re walking in to here. It’s hard to build loyal clientele when your clients have no idea what you will serve.They do have one constant that’s nice. Their sherry flight is lovely.

Just wow! A little jewel of a restaurant in the heart of Green Lake. All the tapas and pinchos we had were great! The smoked waygu skewer was fantastic -- served with the smoke in a bottle with the skewer. The meatballs on a bed of polenta and ricotta was fantastic. Crab/caviar pinchos was great as was the white boquero anchovy pinchos -- and we've been to San Sebastian in Spain and done a pinchos tour so we know! The wine flight of 3 glasses was a real value and tasted great too. We were just too full to try the sushi which is supposed to be just as good. Highly recommended. We'll be going back ... and soon!

If I could give the service zero stars, I would. It took literally 54 minutes for our food (four small plates) to come out. This was the second time we tried it, after having a similar experience the first time around. We gave them the benefit of the doubt, shame on us.Also, check out the photo of the tuna roll - where’s the tuna?!??

Cheese plate, Caviar Deviled Eggs and a red wine flight. Along with Smoked Wagyu Short Rib Skewer and the Wagyu Sliders. Service and food were amazing!

Cute spot to hang out with friends. They have a good selection of wines. And 3-4 vegetarian dishes on the menu making it perfect for my group.

It’s a cute place for drinking! You can make your own flight! The food are really good but a bit pricey ?Recommend caviar deviled egg, bulgogi pincho, shrimp pincho, foie gras torchon. Especially bulgogi pincho, it’s really great!No dress code, not easy to find a parking. Easy to reserve a table for four!

Really love this place! The food is amazing! Highly recommended (1) bulgogi pincho (2) Foie Gras torchon (3) Yellowtail (so refreshing and goes well with other food). Also, they have flights for white wine, red wine, sherry, beer: this makes ordering drink so easy and you got chance to try out different stuff! Overall highly highly recommended it!

So. Tapas, classic small plates, big spending. Well that’s true . This particular place is a”fusion” spot, which bring tapas “from Spain” with American and Asian influence together f.. I’m still trying to find what is what, yet I had a very pleasant experience . Some of the dishes like the foie gras sliders were absolutely amazing, while the prosciutto dish was very confusing “my mouth was” . All around a great spot. If you want to “spend” some quality time with friends .
First time here and it was good. Very good. Just expected a bit more umph and flavor pop from a tapas place. Sliders and pinchtos were solid. Expected a bit more from the $22 truffle gnocchi. Don’t get the sherry flight unless you like very woody sherries. I’ll be back to try again but not too soon.

Good portion sizes for tapas and all of it tasted really good! I liked that everything was a little different and had a bit of a unique twist on it. My personal favorite was actually the eggplant dish, which was a bit of a surprise. It was really well done.

Definitely disappointing. I was hoping to be really excited by the dishes, but nothing we had was that well executed, and there also wasn't much of an atmosphere. I will point out we only had a few of the pinchos and a deviled egg. But based on that experience, I wouldn't come back.The deviled egg was $3 for half an egg and nothing inspiring in the flavor, mostly just tasted the whipped egg yolk.The pinchos were just ok. The shrimp pincho was overwhelmingly cream cheese taste, though the shrimp was perfectly cooked. Something like chive or another green herb would have been nice to give balance.The anchovy pincho was drowning in grated cheese. That just ended up overpowering the other flavors.The bulgogi pincho was the biggest letdown. The bulgogi tasted like sugar beef with none of the complexity one expects from quality bulgogi.Our server was pleasant and did a good job. She obviously didn't make the food, so none of this was her fault.

How, How, How did I miss this place for so long? Thankfully I spotted one of their clear plastic dining orbs, and thought, huh...let's check that out. THANK GOD! I love having lots of tasty bits and this place had the best selection. Every single thing was delicious! The sliders though, I'm going to dream about the sliders and the gnocchi. Amazing. AND if you are doing takeout (it's only for takeout, pro tip: take it home for later) they make these wonderful monster bowls. I can't wait to give these all a try. I brought one home for my husband and he loved it. Service was INCREDIBLE too. Just happy as can be. My only question is, when do I get to go back?

Like wow! Unable to take my usual photos this time. But wow! Come here now! Quick. What a fun smallish place with tapas. Big flavor and an excellent wine selection. Wonderful service as well. The happy hour menu had a great choice of tapas and I had a Jamón, beef and a crab tapa served on a piece of small crusty bread. So flavorful and año it two bites. Many other tapas on the menu such as wagu beef sliders. Deviled eggs, and salmon. Delicious! Plenty of street parking too. Check out the other reviews and photos which are representative of the food. Go, thank me later.
