Nice Spanish restaurant

When we go to the Phillies spring training we like to try different restaurants. This one was a winner. Their sangria is out of this world. Good menu selection.

Went with a large group. The decor is gorgeous (Zagat 25) with seating on an inside balcony avaliable. It feels as though you are in Lisbon/Madrid. Flamenco show is excellente. Food is a 24 on Zagat scale - very good to excellent. Service is Zagat 24. Eggplant vegie entree - fabulous as was the Spanish "caviar". Excellent time overall. SGE

We have been to this wonderful restaurant several times over the past few years and have always been delighted with the outstanding gourmet quality of their food, various menu selections, and very pleasant service. It's beautiful location, right on the water is another plus. Highly recommended !!!

We went on Christmas day with no reservations and had only a 15 minute wait. Very busy but the staff was on their toes. Our server never missed a trick and she was accommodating to all our requests. The signature salad is incredible and made table side with a wonderful combination of flavors with very large portions. The tapas were good by not very inventive or original.

The food here is not gourmet, so don't expect it to be so. Food is not bad, just not outstanding, but it is fairly priced. However, it is a fun place and when the weather is agreeable, sitting outside provides wonderful people watching opportunities. A good mojito can be had by asking the server to tell the bartender "not too sweet".

Empanadas de Picadillo and Croquetas de Pollo Appetizers were excellent. Filet Mignon "Chacho" had a bourbon sauce that was outstanding. Everyone at my table of 9 enjoyed thier food. We had 4 pitchers of Sangria and decided it was good enough to have one more. Service was very good not stellar. I really enjoyed the flamenco dancers but would go back more for the food than entertanment

The dancers in the evening show offer excellent entertainment at a nominal cover charge. The food is traditional Cuban with unique offerings. Relax and sample great sangria--Enjoy the experience.
