Reviews
We chose this restaurant for Valentine’s Day expecting a special experience, but it completely missed the mark. From the moment we sat down, the atmosphere felt chaotic rather than romantic. Our server seemed overwhelmed and inattentive, we waited long stretches without updates, and simple requests were forgotten. The food, when it finally arrived, was lukewarm and underwhelming, especially for the price point. For a night that was meant to feel thoughtful and memorable, the experience felt rushed and poorly managed. Unfortunately, it did not live up to the hype.
We left this restaurant feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. While other tables were checked on regularly and served promptly, we experienced long waits and noticeably different treatment throughout the evening. It was disappointing, especially on Valentine’s Day. We truly hope this was not intentional, but the experience did not feel equitable.
We had the family style so we got to try a bit of everything and can I just say for $65 a person it was soooooo much food. The main course after the 7 plates of tapas was a PERFECTLY cooked ribeye that was generously slathered with a chimmichurri sauce, strong enough to provide a slight tartness kick but mild enough to not overwhelm the steak. The redfish dish was equally wonderful but by this time we were already stuffed! Patatas Bravas were also cooked perfectly.
2 very atypical non Spanish desserts came to the table – a slice of key lime pie and chocolate mousse pie. I think I would have preferred a light delicate flan or an arroz con leche or maybe even a fully churro dipped in chocolate to name 3 more traditional Spanish desserts but never mind. I am not a dessert person usually anyway and I’m sure the pies are popular in New Orleans. They were just super heavy at the end of such a large meal. Regardless we all LOVED the restaurant overall. It was comfortable. Service was fabulous. Will def be back.
The tasting menu is definitely more than enough for 2 people, and more towards seafood side. The flavor is overall sour and salty, which I’m not a big fan of. My favorite 3 dishes are the fired ball, mushroom and the desert.
