We had a hilarious evening that ended with the 14 year old manager offering us 30% off a meatball...but let me get to that!\n\nNot Spanish. Full stop. I do not care if they want to call it tapas but they should not present as Spanish when they are mixing everything! \n\nWe didn't love the decor though I get why some would. Trying too hard and way too bright. I think it could have been cool but they over styled a bit. Nothing that a dimmer couldn't fix. \n\nThe waitresses was untrained with no love of the food. She meant well and seemed nice but boy don't ask any questions! \n\nHome fries with aioli. Antipasto = $2 worth of meat for $14. Octopus was overlooked and the masala it was in felt out of place. The fried stuff was ok...because it was fried! The paella was ok but not scrumptious and there was grit in my tempora zucchini flower\n- I did like the artichoke and chorizo mix. They had runout of pasta...not sure how but we had the steak which was actually pretty good and not bad value compared to that meatball!!\n\nSlow drinks. Sangria is good but boy if you wait 35 minutes for a first drink it isn't that good. And that trend continues. Do not wait to ask for water. Even the pregnant lady at our table waited 45 mins for her water! \n\nBut all this would have been passable but for that chicken meatball. The supposed crispy chicken meatball. We didn't notice the lack of 's' on that menu! One lonely ball of ground chicken for $11. No flavour. We laughed soo hard. It was comical. I would never have thought of it again until the silly waitress tried to give me a sob story about having no money to accept Amex. Really you can charge $11 for a single meatball but you can't take Amex. Not like you are a cool hipster place. You are a tourist spot. Give me a break! The manager was called. And that is when he offered us 30% off the meatball. Worth the years of dinner party laughs. Will never not tell that story. Like I said. Long after this place is gone I will tell the chicken meatball story. You can buy ground chicken for $3.39 a lbs but at this place you will play $11 an oz and if you are really unsatisfied with the service, the flavour and general value they will give you 30% off your 300% marked up meat! \n\nDon't bother. If you are in that hood hit up Origin or another cooler place."^^ . .
