Food is bit over-hyped in reviews. Nothing bad about it to be honest. It's good but not excellent, nothing that stands out to say "wow". Fried chicken was over-fried and the other meats are not marinated enough to cater for the hype. Can I do better at home? Definite yes.

Good atmosphere, good service from the 2 wonderful ladies that served us. Price would be around 55 CAD per person for the "small dishes" (average of 2 per person) without the fancy drinks.

The place seems to be really popular. I was disappointed that I could not bring my own birthday cake to celebrate. They said "our desserts are awesome" but there was only 1 on the menu written as "dessert of the day". Considering the good food, I was not expecting much from the dessert, so we didn't take the risk and went to celebrate elsewhere after dinner. Too bad, as I thought it was a missed opportunity for more people to come next time, like my staff for an office party. I was looking for a good place, but I think that would not do it.

Don't go for a quiet night. The place is for having fun in a loud place. Everything is a bit expensive (food, drinks, pool tables), but that's to be expected from that kind of place. Food was very good. We tasted 7 different tapas style meal and each of them were excellent. Presentation was perfect too. Atmosphere was fun, but we would've liked to be able to talk to each other without yelling. Later, we played pool (not cheap). The table was is nice condition, but the tables are close to each other. There is a karaoke, but you need to be a group of 12 minimum to participate and they charge by the hour.

Excellent and welcoming service. Very accommodating and helpful without being intrusive. Polite, kind, and attentive staff.

Great food—original and tasty. Flavour combos are really exceptional. Way overpriced for a tapas concept at $15+ per plate.

Cocktails are very good, although not nearly original or flavourful enough for a cocktail bar. A fancy water glass is not a cocktail glass. Tons of ice so the drink waters down instantly. But decent prices at $10ish per drink.

And when you look around and every, single other patron is drinking beer—at a cocktail bar—you realize this is high concept with no substance in a suburban strip mall. Essentially the Disney version of a cocktail bar.

The food, though. That’s the restaurant they want to be.

Very nice classy bistro bar. Good music and not over crowded. Food really good but some plates are way over priced for the portion and note that the side of salad or fry is extra.
