    Delicious tapas and paella. Nice variety of tapas to choose from - more than many Spanish restaurants. And they offer 4 different types of paella including ones with seafood, meat and even a vegan version. We had the vegetarian paella as well as the seafood paella that has chicken. Both were SO good, with the right amount of ingredients and crusty rice layer on the bottom. For salad, we had the beet & arugula one which was good. For tapas, we had the garlic prawns, the fried potatoes with brava sauce, the tortilla espanola omelette, the ceviche with prawns & octopus which was delicious, the lamb skewers, and the fried brussel sprouts. There were 14 of us so we doubled up on both paellas and tripled up on the tapas, which turned out to be the right amount of food. Be sure to ask the very hospitable staff for recommendations. For dessert, We were so full but could not resist the churros with chocolate sauce. So light & delicately crisp and perfect with the sauce. We dined outdoors in the covered patio area and felt very comfortable.

    My friend and I were walking through Belden place looking for a place for dinner and decided to try this spot out. The restaurant itself is nice, the inside is very open and has an urban vibe to it. The staff here are very hospitable and attentive. We ended up getting the French onion soup and mushroom pasta. The soup was good but the pasta was ehhhh, it tasted plain and the sauce was cold. Overall I don't think I'd eat here again, especially for the price point.

    Good dining experience. The Hemingway cocktail was strong. The fries, the ceviche, and the escargot hit the spot. Since it was a late in the afternoon but a few hours before dinner, no one else was really eating, so the dining area was quiet. The wait staff was pretty chill.

    Came here with a reservation of 11, everything was set up nicely for us in their outdoor terrace - which was well covered and had a fair amount of heat lamps to keep us cozy in the cooler SF winds. Ambiance and service was 5/5, loved the European vibe - our server was outstanding too, kept bringing us waters and checking in every now and then. Food was 3/5 at best - the paellas lacked flavor, the rice was hard, and it just lacked ingredients. Our mixed seafood one came with 3 pieces of shrimp haha, for around $30 you'd expect more. The calamari was incredibly dry, couldn't finish. Cheeseboard plate had 3 slices of cheese and a small thing of blue cheese, so that should give you an idea of the portion size. We did really like the sangria though, recommend getting those. Oh, and the arugula and watermelon salad was worth a try.
