The vibe is very nice, the lighting at night is beautiful! Our server was super sweet, answered our questions kindly and made conversation with us. We had sharable paella which we enjoyed. Pricing is on the higher side, and there are smaller portions but sharable just to be aware. Their drinks were also very good, and overall had an enjoyable time! read more

Suspiro is one of those rare gems that nails it all -- perfect for date nights, catching up with friends, or just treating yourself because you deserve it. The service? Impeccable. Lucky, our server, wasn't just attentive -- he curated the whole evening like a maestro, blending charm, genuine care, and the kind of energy that turns "server" into "friend." The food? Absolute standouts. The paella is world-class -- the kind you think about days later -- and the drinks are as fun as they are dangerously easy to enjoy. The ambience wraps around you like a warm, calm hug, setting the stage for a night you'll actually remember. Pro tip: don't skip the Speakeasy after dinner -- it's the perfect hidden cherry on top. High Recommend! read more

Newest kid on the block Santa Row showcases Spanish & Peruvian Cuisine at its finest. My only gripe was the service, which is why I rated it 3 stars. My recommendation would be is to have a 90minute seating requirement. I wanted to have an early celebratory birthday with my besties and I chose to be at the hottest new restaurant in town. My reservations were at 745pm and we waited about 45mins just to be seated. I was really upset because we were told 5mins ok?! We're working on your table ok? Given we were seated in a corner and offered to order drinks kept us satisfied. When we were actually seated inside- the hostess or manager seemed to forgot to assign us to a waiter. 15 minutes later I called over the bus boy and asked if he can find our waiter. I saw him asking around and he brought this matter to the manager which I can tell he was flooded with fear that he forgot! Right away he scrambled around and assigned a waiter to us. Let me make this short, the bus boy did way better than the server. She was not attentive or apologetic in regard to what was happening. She even knocked over our to go box with no apologies. Anyhoot as for ambiance-had the feel of boho chic decor. Tons of patrons and authentic food. Reminded me of when I went to Spain. One of my faves were the pork belly served with plantains and sweet potatoes as well as the paella de maricos. The restaurant has a lot of potential itself but needs more organization. Peep out my food photos! read more

Another solid visit to Suspiro. We had the ceviche mixto, causa, chicha, and an empanada. The ceviche was fresh and tasty - slightly more bitter than usual, but still great. The purple potato causa was a nice surprise, though the shrimp on top still had the shell, which made for an awkward bite. Empanada was flavorful, but I wish it came with a small side of sauce - we ran out fast. Chicha was as good as always. Service was friendly and attentive. Greeted right away and well taken care of throughout. Looking forward to coming back. read more

I saw this place on an ig reel and wanted to try it because I love paella! I really like the vibe of this place and it's perfect for a date night or night out with friends. The staff are friendly and attentive. I went here around 5pm on a Friday and was able to get seated right away, although I noticed the place was packed shortly after. There were also people sitting outside, but it was a windy day and I noticed the staff bringing out blankets for people to stay warm, which I thought was really nice! The food is ok. I would come back for the paella (it was kind of salty for me but adding lemon to it helps) and to try other things but would not order the tomato bread again. The tomato bread was underwhelming and pricey for what it was. The ribeye was delicious though and I would recommend! read more

Stopped by Suspiro for a lunch date with my lovely wife, and it hit the spot--mostly! I had been craving a good, chunky mixed ceviche, and Suspiro delivered just that. Fresh, zesty, and perfectly balanced--absolutely satisfying. We kicked things off with a mojito and mimosa (because why not?), and the bartender was quick and on point with the service. Drinks were decent, though nothing too special. We also ordered the papas bravas, but those didn't quite live up to the hype--was hoping for more crispiness and punch in flavor. My wife went with the calamari sandwich, and I added beef empanadas to the mix (my personal favorite here--can't go wrong with those). To wrap it up, we shared a caramel flan for dessert, and it was fantastic. It actually reminded me of the Turkish Sütlaç--light, creamy, and just sweet enough. All in all, Suspiro offers a great lunch vibe with a solid ceviche game and good service. A few hits and a couple of misses, but still worth the visit--especially for the atmosphere and Peruvian flair. read more

I randomly dined at the newest hot spot on the Row last weekend with a friend. They just opened about three weeks ago. Reservations available on Resy. I wasn't prepared with a listed order aye yi yi. Eats: *Paella de Mariscos, crispy edge socarrat style! *Patatas Bravas: classic fried potato dish with creamy aioli and mildly spicy red Bravas sauce *Bombas de Barceloneta: fried potato balls *Complimentary Cancha to snack on: crunchy large corn kernels lightly coated in oil & sea salt Paella was on the salty side but had good flavor. We appreciated the lack of fishiness for the seafood. Difficult to mess up patatas bravas and they delivered! I'd skip the bombas and try out ceviche next time. The friendly ladies next to us recommended that and the cheese board. Gotta have a handcrafted cocktail when I come back. Shout out to attentive waiter Diego! He was helpful in navigating the menu. I probably should've asked for tapas recommendations. The interior is beautiful! Spacious, high ceiling, cream colored walls with hanging brown bohemian wicker lamps. I wasn't sure how the Speakeasy works but you can make reservations for that. Apparently there's a dress code too. Check out Suspiro for a modern twist on Spanish & Peruvian food on the Row. read more

My friends and I came to try out this place when it first opened and the food and lack of accommodations was disappointing. We ordered the eggplant, carne paella, and ceviche. The ceviche and eggplant were decent, pretty standard. We have one person in the group who can't have pork and is sensitive to creamy sauces. We attempted to order the veggie paella and add chicken but was not allowed to according to the server because "the chef, she has a vision and does not do customizations." We then asked if we could do the carne paella without the pork and the server said "you can, but she will not give you extra chicken to make up." The way he said it was kind of odd, but then when we asked for aioli on the side, he reiterated "we cannot do that because the chef has a vision for her food and will not put aioli on the side." This chef is very unaccommodating to her customers due to her "vision" which put off the whole vibe of the dinner. After we ordered the paella, we expected it to come out skimpy which we were okay with, but when the paella did come out, it was very salty. The ambiance and drinks were super cute, which adds an extra star to this place. Our server was also very nice, but seemed scared of the chef by referencing her "vision" and unwillingness to accommodate multiple times. Overall, I would not come back. If you're looking for a cute tapas/paella place, I'd recommend Teleferic instead. read more

We came here spontaneously and ended up having a fantastic time! Lucky our server set the mood for the dinner with his fun friendly energy and made us feel so comfortable. We loved the ceviche we ordered it twice and we loved the sangria de cava as well. The gambas al ajillo were a bit different than what we would expect traditionally but the mood was so good we didn't care :) read more

My friend shared an Instagram reel of Suspiro, so there was quite a bit of hype on this new restaurant that opened up in Santana Row. I kept this place at the back of my mind since it left a lasting impression. I made reservations for lunch on a Sunday. I opted to get an outdoor patio seat since I wanted to bring my dog. I read a review about how the outdoor felt like a wind tunnel, so I came prepared with my dog in a sweater. Appreciated the pro tip! Although it was beautiful and sunny Spring day, the outdoor patio was getting strong gusts of wind for some reason. Other than that, it was quite pleasant eating outside. Customer service was excellent. Our server's name was Hasna, and she was friendly and attentive. She checked in on us frequently and did us right with the recommendations she provided (Ceviche Mixto and Susprio Limeno). The kitchen was also efficient as our food promptly came out, one after the other. It was nice to try this restaurant at least once, but I wouldn't hurry back to this restaurant. I really wanted to love this place, but most of the food was OK at best. Patatas Bravas - Patatas Bravas is one of my favorite Spanish tapas in general, but I was disappointed with Suspiro's. The mayo and brava sauce were fine, but the potatoes needed to be crispier. Berenjena Asada - This was a very bland and mushy baked eggplant with machego cheese. Pan con Tomato - I appreciated the freshness of the tomato. The real reason to why we ordered this was because Suspiro doesn't offer chips or bread with the ceviche. We used the pan con tomato to complement the ceviche. Ceviche Mixto - This was the best savory dish that we ordered. It had a great mix of white fish, shrimp, scallop, and octopus. The seafood tasted fresh. Chicken croquetas - If chicken dumpling soup was a solid food, it would be this chicken croquette. I didn't mind the croquetas, but I had better elsewhere. Causa de Cangrejo y Camarón - These were bites of rolled up mashed purple potatoes topped with crab meat and a tempura shrimp. This was my least favorite dish. I felt like the flavors didn't make sense. The purple potato was very vinegary and pickle tasting. The freshness and fattiness of the crab was nice since it cut the acidic flavor of the potatoes. The tempura shrimp had a sauce drizzled on top, but I didn't pick up the flavor of the sauce. All the shrimp really did was add a crunchy texture. Chocolate Torte - Nice slice of light and airy chocolate cake. Suspiro Limeno - This was fantastic! It was like a smooth custard with a wonderful passion fruit puree. read more

I was honestly a bit scared to try this place because I saw a lot of mixed reviews. I thought this would be one of those influencer backed spots that doesn't actually turn out to be yummy. We did takeout and everything was packaged so prettily and nicely. I came home and plated it but there was honestly no need. I didn't really like the namesake salad. They marketed it as "seasonal and local fruits" but in the end it was just a bunch of tomatoes, Mandarins, and grapes with onions and olives. I quite liked the grapes but I think the ratio of having thaaaat many tomatoes was weird. The dressing was quite a light mustard vinaigrette. Overall it was a light salad and it was alright tasting but wouldn't really recommend. I liked the ceviche clasico. It had that classic citrus ceviche base with pretty fresh fish. I liked the big corn kernels that you see often in Peruvian dishes to add texture. The veggie croquettes (bombas de la barceloneta) were also pretty yummy. It didn't really blow my mind but it was not too oily and i appreciated that. I also I accidentally got the aioli kind of solidified from trying to heat up everything in the microwave so that didn't really help with the texture. The tomato based sauce was quite tasty tho--I liked it more than the white garlicky one. The paella was also quite yummy. We got the Carne but subbed pork for chicken. The chicken itself was too dry and tough with barely any meat so it was meh but the rice was super tasty. I liked the slight al dente texture of the rice soaked in the tomato based sauce. read more

We went on a busy night but I felt that even though the waiter was very nice, he was still new and didn't know the menu. We ordered a bunch of tapas and it was just okay, nothing to write home about. Tables are close together so hard to have a private conversation. I would bring a date here if you would like to impress with the ambiance. read more

Osooaldo provided great service! Will definitely come again and recommend! The food was great and came quickly and loved the atmosphere.

I was here for an early birthday dinner. Initially we had a reservation for 5:45 pm and we felt traffic won't allow us to make it on time so we called them and they gave us a 6:45 pm reservation which made it all the more convenient to reach on time. We were greeted well and seated as we were a group of 5 people. The server was a great, he gave us the menu and said I will leave you guys for some time so you can decide on the drinks and menu. When he came back we were ready with our drink and food menu. Mainly we decided on small plates which enough for all of us. I ordered their pisco sour drink which has a egg white too as I didn't want too much of ice in my drink. The service was really great, they play some awesome music so your mood is always happy to be at this place. It was a Friday evening and the restaurant was buzzing with people. The food one by one came on to our table and we really enjoyed everything about this place, even the bill. We did park in the parking garage where the first two hours are free. The did gave the birthday person dessert with candle on it which was delicious too. read more

The interior design of this place is soooo beautiful. It is also very spacious. We came by on a Saturday afternoon around 3PM for some drinks at the bar and small tapa. The drinks presentation are on point. My favorite is definitely the El Alquimista. It's light with rose water + hibiscus but also made me feel tipsy with enough alcohol. We also ended up ordering the Ceviche Mixto which consists of octopus, scallops, and white fish. The flavoring is sour but spicy with the citrusy dressing. Very refreshing to eat on a hot day. -1 star because there was possibly miscommunication in the kitchen and it took maybe 50~ min for the ceviche to be ready. Even the server asked us if we have gotten our food yet. It was also mistakenly charged twice on our bill. We had to tell the server and the manager ended up coming to us to apologize and waived the ceviche charge tho. Very appreciative of that so I'll still give a 4/5. I'll be back to try more entree and the paella in the future. read more

3.5 STARS The Row/Mantana Row is arguably one of the most scene-y place in the Bay Area. In scene-y, I mean a place to see and be seen with the rich rich and posers...you know the dudes that rent a lambo and drive laps around the row revving their engine. And, then you have those who come here because of the dog-friendliness. *RAISES HAND* Nearly every weekend, I'll make the trip here to get our steps in and because nearly every business is dog-friendly (all restos have outdoor seating). The two newest restos to arrive are Fitoor and Suspiro. Decided to check out Suspiro first which soft opened over the weekend. Suspiro is brought to you by Buen Rallo Group with sister bar/restos: Zazil, El Jardin, Chika, Colibri (SF) and II Parco (SF). They serve Spanish and Peruvian cuisine. Full bar. T H I N G S T O K N O W Suspiro has two sections: Restaurant and Speakeasy hidden behind a curtain. RESTAURANT * Open for lunch & dinner. * Walk ins accepted; rezzies on Resy. No cancellation fee but they request you cancel within 8 hours. * Different Lunch & Dinner Menu - Lunch: Tapas, Dinner: Tapas, Entrees, and Paellas. * Dog-friendly patio but beware it's located at a wind tunnel and the heat lamps didn't help. SPEAKEASY * Opens at 4 pm. * 21+ only. * Rezzies only on Resy; listed as S.Suspiro. Cancellation *may* trigger a $20 pp fee. * See Resy for "Dress Code" and "House Rules". * Separate dinner (bar bites) and cocktail menu. * Back patio available. * Will become membership only in the future. Unlike their sister restos, no 5% small business mandate was added to our bill. Pay bill via QR code. D R I N K * Suspiro Gin & Tonic: Ginraw Barcelona w/ fever tree elderflower tonic, blood orange, ginger shrub, mint ($18) // 3.5 STARS It was ok. Runs on the sweet side, light on the booze, and didn't taste the blood orange or ginger. Plus, I prefer G&T that's more effervescent. F O O D * Complimentary Cancha: Peruvian Toasted Corn // 4 STARS Toasty, crunchy, and well-seasoned Peruvian corn nuts. * Causa de Cangrejo y Camarón: Purple potato, crab meat, shrimp tempura, huancaína (3 pc - $22) // 3.5 STARS: https://tinyurl.com/mtchzkey Beautiful presentation and loved the vibrant colors. The peruvian casserole sounded great on paper but needs work. The mashed purple potato was too salty and the shrimp tempura was not crispy. * Tortilla de Patatas: Spanish Omelet w/ potatoes, caramelized onions ($18) // 4 STARS: https://tinyurl.com/2p8y5dbe Classic tapa done right. The omelet was filled with soft layered potatoes. It was tasty tho could have used more caramelized onions and an extra dollop of aioli so each wedge had some. * Patatas Bravas w/ spicy bravas sauce, aioli ($15) // 4 stars Soft potatoes accented with dollops of tangy tomato based bravas sauce (not spicy) and creamy aioli. Hard to mess this up. * Ribeye y Tacu-Tacu: Ribeye w/ chorrillana sauce, rice-bean patty ($45) // 3 stars --Requested medium rare This took an hour to arrive, so the anticipation was high... While they nailed the medium rare temp, it seems the ribeye (lean) wasn't rested long enough before slicing because it was dry. The tacu tacu (peruvian rice & beans) were salty, as was the chorrillana sauce (worcestershire + soy based) so together, it was a salt bomb. S E R V I C E Staff was friendly but they're obvs still figuring things out. Our drinks and two of the apps arrived within 20 minutes but then there was a 45 minute lag between the next app (4 pm rezzies). Our kind server was apologetic about the wait times. A M B I A N C E Spacious and trendy with warm tones, basket weave dome lights, a large bar, and mini booths throughout. There's three patio areas adorned with fairy lights. Restrooms could use attention, several stalls had TP thrown around the floor. P A R K I N G Plentiful lot and garage parking. Overall, like most restos on The Row, you're paying for the vibes and Suspiro is one of them. And then, there's inflated pricing which we knew going in (3 tapas, 1 entrée, 1 cocktail, 2 sodas, tax/tip = $166.88). Hope they roll out a happy hour menu in the future! read more

Love me a good tapas spot! The food was beautifully plated and so much variety to choose from. To top it off the service was top notch! Everything we had tasted fresh and so yummy and well balanced. I forgot what drinks we ordered but the cocktails were good too. It's a perfect spot for a date night or to hang with a group of friends. There's a parking garage right next to the restaurant so super easy to get to. It's located at the end of Santana Row. read more

Terrible check your food first, to make sure it is cooked. My boyfriend loves his steaks rare, but he send his steak back because he does not like it alive. Our waiter mentioned when he brought us our food if he wanted it cooked more to let him know, which we did. When it came back the steak was gray so obviously put in the microwave. I ordered the Lomo Saltudo and when I cut in to the beef it was raw. Our server was great and spoke to the manager as we dis not want our food and paid for drinks and left. The manger was understanding. read more

Came here for a Thursday lunch and the restaurant was quite empty and quiet--perfect for our small party. Service was great... now onto the food! Beef empanadas were delicious, it was my favorite tapas dish. The crust was sooo flaky and meat filling was mega juicy. I wouldn't get the tomato toast again, it was pretty average but decent tasting. The omelette was really delicious, it was finished almost immediately by us. The pasta de wok (I think it was called that or something similar) was average. I wouldn't get that again. What I WOULD get again is the pork and chicken paella. Don't be fooled by the menu; along with some tapas, the medium size definitely feeds more than 2. It was quite tasty, I was really sad when we dropped our takeaway box on the way home. I would definitely come here again for some tapas with a couple friends or family! read more

A delicious and gorgeous new dining option in Santana Row! My friends and I finally got the chance try this new place and ordered a variety of dishes family style: - causa de cangrejo y camarón: potato, shrimp, and crab (3 pieces) ; my least favorite only because I don't like crab but my friends enjoyed - tortilla abierta: a thin omelet topped with earthy mushrooms and sausage; an umami explosion - bikini trufado: basically a ham & cheese & truffle panini (4 pieces); it was so good we ordered 2!! Melt in your mouth - canelón de carne: a homemade sausage with beef, pork, and chicken; looks unappealing but well rounded meaty flavor - puerto y rocoto: pork belly entree with plantain and sweet potato; melt in your mouth texture and wonderful balance of flavors - the pork and chicken paella: more short grained crunchy rice than the paellas I've had in the past but was still delicous after all the small bites We each had a cocktail and were impressed by the presentation and complexity and variety of flavors. Of course, we couldn't walk away without trying the dessert, so we ordered - suspiro lemoño: a passion fruit custard; I normally don't like passion fruit or custard dishes but this was the perfect balance of tart and sweet! - Torijja: Spanish French toast; dare I say I like it better than regular ?! - tarta de chocolate: a classic chocolate torte; rich but not too dense! This was plenty of food for 5 people - we struggled to finish the last bite but forced ourselves bc it was so tasty! I will definitely return to try the other tapas - we barely grazed the surface. Logistics : - indoors and outdoors seating available; reservation recommended for busy times - some vegetarian options but you'll do best if you can eat some meat - free parking in the garage down the street read more

Usually I prefer to pass on the classy, $$$ spots that comprise the majority of Santana Row's food offerings, but I saw Suspiro on inKind and was initially sold on stopping by for the pisco sour on their happy hour menu. Sitting down at the bar, we quickly overheard a nearby conversation talking about Lamborghinis and Ferraris. I had a look at the lunch menu ahead of time as well as a flyer advertising $16/plate paella Sundays, so I'll definitely be back again to try a paella or two. We just got some empanadas, the mixed olives, and a sandwich that was called a bikini. The empanadas with beef were delicious, would definitely recommend. The sandwich was tasty too, I had to look up why it was called a bikini, with a good crispy exterior to the bread and constructed in good proportions. I'm personally not a fan of olives but my brother is. These olives didn't come pitted and were not to his liking either, so I couldn't say that I would recommend. The pisco sour was lovely, with a refreshing taste, clean presentation, and good alcohol content. In hindsight I realized I got confused, my favorite Peruvian drink is chicha morada which I have had in an alcoholic version, presumably made with the addition of pisco. So Cate, if you happen to be reading this, I would love to see a chicha morada cocktail added to the Suspiro menu soon. read more

(This is a review for S.Suspiro the "Speakeasy"). I had extremely high hopes for this spot. Made a reservation on Resy, received an email confirmation with dress code. Pretty simple no crocs no sandals, no service. Once we made it to the host Before we said anything about our reservation, the hostess stated "we have a dress code ". None of the people in my group were outside the dress code. Extremely rude. They said tennis shoes and jeans were not allowed. We showed the dress code that was sent to us that didn't mention anything about jeans or shoes. We were then allowed in on a "technicality". Once inside, the overall vibe was nice however, it was made worse by the fact everyone in there also was in jeans and sneakers and even sweats. (my group was dress nicer than most). The drink I ordered was enchanted and it was pretty good. Not very strong. Everyone else drinks were good, but again not very strong. We ordered a chicken croquette. Not really what I expected. to be honest, it tasted like a tuna melt consistency. Not worth the price.. The bathrooms are shared between the restaurant and the speakeasy. There were multiple stalls where the seats were dirty and had urine on them. (Didn't really stick with the upscale vibe). Overall, I think the spot completely missed the mark on what a speakeasy is. read more

Ever since we've been to Spain, I always try to find authentic Spanish cuisines. This place was new and so we decided to try it. The place is fairly spacious and the ambiance was upscale. The food was good, my favorites were the chicken/pork spareribs paella and the ceviche mixto, although I would add a bit more spice to it. The server we had was very friendly and attentive. She would always check on us to make sure we got everything. read more

We arrived on time for our reservation but were asked to wait an extra 10 minutes due to how busy it was, which we didn't mind. However, when I approached the host after our wait just to ask for the restroom, she seemed annoyed, assuming I was pestering her about the table. The food, drinks, and the rest of the service were fine--overall, an okay experience. read more

This was my first time at this restaurant. My partner and I were a bit let down most places were closing early on a Friday, but we decided to give Suspiro a shot. THANK GOD WE DID. Once we had entered the restaurant, we were immediately greeted and offered a table. Little to no wait. Our server "Lucky" was amazing and definitely showed us great hospitality. I would highly recommend him as a server. He definitely needs to be recognized for his positive attitude and impeccable customer service skills. The food was killer! Unfortunately, we were so ecstatic to dig in that there was no time we spent photographing the dishes. We both had ordered plates off of the Ceviche menu and we were not disappointed in the slightest. Drinks were refreshing and fresh as well! The environment was clean and very moody. The bathroom looked like an Art Deco/Disco club. I cannot recommend this place enough. Please visit and definitely come hungry! You will not be disappointed. P.S. give the homie "Lucky" a raise. read more

Our family of 4 had a lovely dinner at Suspiro celebrating our daughter's birthday and our anniversary. We enjoyed our server Jass who was great at educating us about the food and the restaurant. My favorite dish out of 6 shared items was the Chicken Anticuchos served with a heavenly sauce. My daughter adored their tuna ceviche and she's tried many at different places. It's amazing how each food item from the patatas bravas to the empanadas tasted so unique. Loved it all. To celebrate our anniversary/birthday, Jass brought us two bread pudding desserts topped with caramelized popcorn and a lighted candle... a satisfying end to a satisfying meal! read more

Suspiro kept appearing on my IG feed so I decided to come here last night with my fiance for our anniversary dinner. We ordered the tiradito de pulpo, croquetas de pollo, lomo saltaldo and one of the charcuterie boards with salchichón trufado and jamon Iberico. Our server was very attentive but the food came out really slowly and our charcuterie board was the last item we received. I also think the croquetas and lomo saltaldo could've used a lot more flavor and the lomo saltaldo definitely didn't give bang for its buck at $45. I enjoyed the tiradito de pulpo out of all the dishes we got but overall I don't think I'll be back anytime soon. read more

Ambience and vibe in the patio was nice! There were only 2 servers serving the entire patio, and our server was constantly running around and was barely present. He didnt even bother checking in with us, food took forever to come to the table, and when we asked for a side of aioli it took forever and at the end dessert took forever! Server didnt even bother cleaning the table before serving the dessert. We really liked their empanadas, pan tomate and flan. Patata bravas, and veggie paella were just meh. I was very disappointed with the food and service. They have a long way to go if they want to be a successful peruvian/spanish fine dining restaurant. read more

While the food was decent, specially the paella, the service was worse than what we have experienced with similar establishments. The server we had was condescending, talking down to us as if we were wasting his time. Our waters were never filled and we had to flag down other servers to get what we needed, including questions about dishes. We were celebrating a birthday, and the host was kind enough to let the server know, but there was no acknowledgement of the special occasion by the server, not even verbally. Maybe we were expecting a better standard of service from Suspiro, but looks like we were mistaken. read more

Service was ok but the food was expensive for the portions and not very well seasoned. It was pretty funny to see them pouring tap water into glass bottles from our table to chill and serve. You know youre getting tap water but you dont want to watch them do it. You want to pretend your at a fancy restaurant that serves you filtered water. The restaurant was clean and felt inviting though read more

Service was top notch. Felt very welcomed and taken care of. The food was timely, along with the drinks. Great explanations with recommendations The atmosphere was beautiful. As an interior designer - I would love to have been a part of the design team. It feels like an indoor outdoor space with light, bright, and green space design. Light woods, greens, and creamy neutrals. The food was delightful. An all new pallet of yummy tapas and carne paella. Paella de carne had a complex, rich flavor. Wonderful seasoning. A unique spin on paella. The rosemary aroma over the chicken felt like Christmas. The sauce blend tastes like more. The ribs were cooked well, but not fork tender. I would order this again. Serves 2-4 depending on how many tapas you order. Bombas de la Barceloneta. Super light and flaky exterior and fluffy inside. A delicious potato croquette. Anticucho de pollo. Hard to share and separate as a skewer. I would have preferred 2 on the plate - especially for the price for 1 skewer ( they could have even been smaller to accomplish 2 on the plate) I shared with my husband so we made it work. I enjoyed the flavor of the chicken and when combined with all the ingredients made it like a comfort food with the mashed and chicken combo. Ceviche de Cameron. A fair amount of Cameron's. A nice, spicy kick. We couldn't figure out where the kick was coming from in the ingredients. We were told it was the sorbet while we thought the sorbet would cool the spiciness. Not too spicy tho just more than initially expected. The lime sauce was fresh and I could have bottled it. I felt like the shrimp could have had a little more time in the lime juice so no grey was present but we ate all of it. If we order again, I'll ask for no corn nuts in it. Those are hard in comparison to the tender ceviches and the contrast is too much and they're not needed. Avocado bits would have been tasty in lieu of the corn nuts. Especially because we get them on the table when you're seated. Drinks: The Lima was super fresh and light for daytime drinking. Had an herbal aroma and not to hard for a starter. My husband got the Poncho and didn't care too much for it. I tasted it and it was very strong. His second cocktail was a skinny margarita and enjoyed it much more. read more
