Food: 3/5 Vibe: 4/5 Service: 1/5 Value: 3/5 Overall: 2/5
Can I just say that gazpacho should not be on the menu in December. What are they thinking?!?! Not that there's cold weather, it is Texas, but tomatoes are at their worst.
I went with a friend to try out this restaurant as we both enjoy Spanish tapas. We ordered a few tapas to share and a glass of Sangria. The tapas were pretty good. The bread was stale. The hostess did offer to bring us more, but returned to the table to let us know they were out and more was in the oven (probably thawing).
We wanted to order more tapas to share. You know, sample more of the items on the menu. But, our waiter NEVER returned to our table. We attempted to get the attention of somebody...anybody really. But no. Our glasses were empty. Our plates were empty and neatly stacked in the middle of the table.
After 30 minutes we finally did get the attention of the hostess and asked for our check. We decided to go to another restaurant.
In summation. The service stinks. This was a Wednesday night and the place was not full. There should not have been any issues with slow or non-existent service.
