We truly hope that this place bounces back!…read more We ordered the cheese board and found that the pieces of manchego get smaller and smaller; the wedges themselves and now how slim they are sliced. When we first came here, they were good sized portions and there were 4 of them. When we made a comment about how small they have become,...the waiter actually said that they get compliments on how small their portion sizes are from the Spanish guests. We looked around, not one Spaniard in the joint. And I doubt they would agree with these portion sizes; has the waiter ever been to Europe and seen the boards they offer: crazy good! We also ordered the Rabbit Paella and two main components were missing; fava beans & chorizo. Plus. It was undercooked; the sides of paella should be crispy. Hope they get better!

We have visited this restaurant far north of us since they opened but not for a long time. We…read morewanted to buy some specialty groceries $$$ at the local town and country market and decided to get dinner while there. In the past it was always very busy and full here. The last two times In a few years we've been there not so much. Our preferred table is an odd round booth tables right up against the fire at the kitchen and it's a bit like sitting at the chefs table in a nice restaurant . Typically served by the bartender when it's not really busy and fun to watch the kitchen and chill. We always seem to order one of the large plate combos and usually the "turf" option. The potato's are just soft, creamy, and plentiful. The bacon wrapped dates good. The chicken empanadas are fried nice but still moist inside and good with the harissa sauce and served with a great house salad for two. I don't eat lamb really ever but I do here. Really perfectly done little lamb chops on the bone but I'm only good for one. The beef skewer pretty good though a little tough. And the pineapple chicken wraps plentiful and spicy yet a bit too sweet but kind of addictive. The bartender was a great server and nice fellow but a bit busy otherwise with house drink prep. But we weren't in a hurry so it was fine. I see that there are some recent reviews about ownership change and that it is not the same as the beginning of this place. I can't disagree with that however it seems like the limited fixed menu combo board we always order has remained mostly the same and the reduced hectic volume of diners has made it more available to us as far drive dining option. It has of course become more expensive but not too much out of the norm. I'm not so sure that I would put on a large group meal here however.

Many of their dishes include Chocio corn (similar to hominy), and they even served a crispy version as an appetizer. We came here for dinner with a dozen people, shared 20 plates, and absolutely loved everything. It was a Monday night, which happens to be half priced wines by the bottle - we got a great bottle of Sagemoor Reisling for just $22.50, regularly $45. Service by Raquel was very attentive, and she made great recommendations. We ordered 20 dishes to share: (1) two Festival de Cebiches -- 3 types of ceviche: Classico (halibut), Popular (crispy calamari, shrimp, octopus, halibut) and Nissei (tuna, seaweed - my favorite) ; (2) two Tiradito Criollos - Hamachi sashimi w/ sweet potato in tiger milk sauce - incredible; my favorite dish of the night; (3) two Antichuchos de Pollo; (4) 2 Antichuchos de Res; (5) 2 Golden Chaufa -- fried rice with Dungeness crab and shrimp); (6) 2 Pescado al Pilpil - halibut w/ roasted garlic and crispy kale - my husband's fave; (7) 2 King salmon charapitas w/ roasted sunchokes and rainbow potatoes - wow; (8) 2 Lomo Saltados - wok fried beef tenderloin, tomatoes, onions, jalapeno, oyster sauce, soy sauce w/ potatoes and rice - wow; delish, (9) 2 yuca fries; and (10) 2 wok fried broccolini - delicious flavor. For food (drinks separate) was just $93/person including 20% tip and 2.5% employee well-being surcharge, which we all that was very reasonable for the quality and quantity.

This time, I made reservation although was a bit turned off by having to reserve with a credit card and must cancel "up to 1 day before the time of the reservation. You can always transfer your reservation to another person." No-show or late cancellation is subject to $10 fee per person. I get why they have to do this, but instead, like other establishments, they could have a disclaimer saying if you're 15 minutes late, they'll release your reservation. Judging from how busy they got, I don't think they would have had a hard time filling a table of a "no show" reservation. When all the tables are filled, noise level is a bit loud, but still manage to hear our conversation. They played great background music too! We tried a couple from their fresh sheet/seasonal menu: - Peach Pintxo - 21 acres peaches, jamon iberico, cypress grove fromage blanc tarte by heritage baguette. They were good, but nothing to rave about. I think I would've liked to taste the sweetness of the peach against the saltiness of the iberico, but the peach overpowered the taste of the ham. - Roasted Carrots - blue glass farms carrots, crushed marcona almonds, za'atar kefir, hot honey glaze. The roasted carrots were surprisingly DELICIOUS! I didn't think roasted carrots were worth going on and on about, but they were nicely cooked (not too soggy, had a nice firmness to them), and very flavorful! If this is still on the menu, I highly recommend! From their regular menu, we had: - Lamb Rib Chops - romesco, pea puree, mint (3 pcs) -- we were told the lamb was in the mint marinade for 24 hours. The meat was very tender and very flavorful! I highly recommend this dish. - Tortilla de Patata - spanish "omelet", walla walla onion, pimenton aoli (a valdemar family recipe). If you like walla wall onions, you'll like this dish. It had the sweetness of the onion. For drinks: Barrell of Monkeys - rhum barbencourt, russel's reserve rye giffard banana, hazelnut orgeat amontillado syrup, lemon -- this cocktail is delicious! You definitely taste the banana flavor. Cantaloupe mule - mocktail -- a bit disappointed, it was very tart and I didn't taste the cantaloupe at all. It was more of a lime juice. I did ask our server to make it a tad sweeter, but it got too sweet. Lesson learned...stick to alcoholic drinks! LOL!

While we were perusing the menu, quizzically forming our questions because there are unusual dishes here, she repeatedly asked us if we had any more questions, like firing the line off every few seconds. Clearly she had somewhere else to be, and she said as much "I have to go". This is a fine dining establishment. That kind of attitude is not called for. When we asked her to split our check, she said she could not do that. And, there is some 5% garbage fee on there for "extra labor and supplies" not even the employee health insurance charge that some restaurants think is fair to pass on to customers. The food was pretty good though, hence the two stars. The seared goat cheese over peas was yummy and the gambas dish was like a mini paella. Agree that they need to offer more non-alcoholic drinks. They only had one mocktail and two sodas. Should add ice tea.
