This is the third tapas restaurant we have visited in Chicagoland and it is so far the best. The restaurant has a standard menu and a large daily special menu to keep things interesting.

Here at an impromptu date. The place was busy, but we could sit fast. The food was amazing. We shared several records and our server delivered great suggestions. They were out of some things on the special list that leads me to believe they were looking for. The recommended substitute dishes were amazing. The staff is great and they have a great system to ensure that your table also tends. I definitely recommend this place.
