In Short – The former Sorrisa kitchen has been transformed into this lively small plates restaurant. Indigenous Spanish ingredients are used to prepare modern renditions of hot and cold tapas, three kinds of paella and both red and white blends of sangria. Crimson and melon walls are dotted with Miro prints and colored lights, while votive candles set the mood. A big draw is the restaurant's late-night martini lounge, with live music, DJs and flamenco dancing.

I THINK I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS PLACE. THE FOOD IS REALLY GOOD AND THE BAR IS ALOT OF FUN TO HANG OUT. THEY HAVE 2 HUGE SCREEN TV'S IN THE BAR AND 2 MORE FLAT SCREEN AT THE BAR. THURSDAY NIGHTS ARE THE MOST FUN EVERY. THEY HAVE GREAT MUSIC...THE DJ IS REALLY GOOD AND HOT! YOU SHOULD ORDER TAPAS AND SANDGRIA AND YOU WILL BE A VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER.

Great place to waist a lot of money

Ok, I'm going to tell it like it is, no BS.
I use to love that place, but after the last chef left, the food just went down hill. Not only did the food quality go bad, but the price went up? Maybe the restaurant should be run by real Spanish owners who take pride and quality in authentic Spanish cuisine, instead of the Chinese owners they have now, who only care about profit and just don't know anything about Spanish food. Let me ask this, would you really want to eat at a authentic Chinese restaurant owned by non Chinese owners???
That's the honest truth.
- Pros: The scene and ambience
- Cons: The food and price

just okay.

I went here for tapas on a Friday night with some friends. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, but the food was just okay. I thought it was overpriced. I think i expected too much.
