| - I was suggested this restaurant by some fellow Phoenix yelpers. They got it right once again. My husband and I called ahead to find out there was a 20-30 minute wait on that particular Saturday night. We arrived and the place was jumpin'! It gives off the vibe of a very hip and trendy spot with dim lights and loud voices. We waited outside for 10-15 minutes watching all of the too-cool guys who tried too hard to look like they didn't try and barely 20 year old girls with dresses that barely cover.
We were seated and started making some drink choices - red sangria for me (too many mentions not to!) and a diet coke for him. I didn't care for it at first, but then like the others said, it goes down just like water. I think next time I would try one of the mojitos. For dinner we ordered the manchego mac n' cheese (delicious and rich), terra y mare skewers (very good), and shrimp tempura (good). For dessert we ate the gelato trio with chocolate, vanilla, and pistachio (yum!) and lemon berry mini tarts (very tasty). Our bill for three tapas, two desserts, two drinks, tax and tip was about $50
Overall the food was tasty and had a very large selection, service was good, and atmosphere was just too loud - we almost had to yell to hear each other. Maybe next time I would ask for seating on the patio or make reservations. They accept reservations over the phone and online. I will definitely be back again to try more menu items, desserts, and drinks!
