| - I'll give it 2 stars, as an average of 3-star visit and a 1-star visit.
I've eaten here twice. First time was on the patio on a weekday. Did the tasting menu, but dined with a vegetarian so it wasn't their standard fare. Generally, the food was inoffensive and forgettable, but the patio is really nice on a quiet laneway next to St Lawrence Mkt, and they do really good cocktails and multiple types of sangria. 3 stars.
2nd time I ate here was with a group of 4, seated inside. Decor is nice and the place has a good vibe. Food was hit and miss: paella was good, but ribs with white chocoate was an experiment gone wrong. The table next to us was complaining to the waiter about the speed that the dishes came out at. The waiter spent a lot of time talking to them, as did a manager, and then also a hostess. It resulted in other tables being ignored: our table and another close-by kept trying to flag someone down to order. I was eventually able to order a drink, but then I watched as that drink sat on the end of the bar for a reeeeally long time before someone brought it over to me-by which point we'd all finished eating, so I took a few sips (OK, maybe they were gulps) and left it.
I'm a sucker for a good patio, so it's possible I'll be back for drinks sometime, but not to eat.
