The food was great. We ordered for pick up for Father's day, and everything was packed and ready to go nothing was missing. The paella was delicious.

Food was VERY good. My beef tenderloin was huge and done to medium-rare, as requested. My wife said her surf and turf was very good though, unlike some previous visits she said her lobster was a little over-cooked. She wishes for a more extensive wine list. Service was attentive but not in-your-face. Surprised it was not busier on a nice mid-spring evening.
