Reviews

This place is gorgeous, very nice relaxing atmosphere.
The food was so good and the quality if the seafood was amazing.
The paella was to die for and their daily deals or their prices are great.
Can't wait to go back and visit the friendly staff too.

I always come to this restaurant, the food is so good, the drinks are always spot on, not too strong and not too sweet just how I like it.
The servers/bartender are very friendly.
They have some nice decorations put up if you want to take some pictures and the atmosphere is nice.
The dinning room is a perfect place to chat and feel at peace with the music.
The bar is great to come have some quick drinks a couple of tapas, listen to music and leave happy, the patio is a nice place to enjoy the view and weather.
Prices match the quality of the food.
The point is this is one of my favorite places to come to with my family, wife, friends.
they do such a good job with everything they do! I want them to get more recognition because they definitely have so much potential!

I only recently learned that this tapas bar existed in Middletown’s Main Street Market, and I’m so glad that I visited! They had a huge menu with choices to fit anyone’s preferences.
Highlights for us were the paella, croquettes, and even the Brussels salad because it had such a great truffle flavor! Their drinks were fantastic - we’re still talking about the Barbie one we had in a unique glass! Definitely save room for the delicious chocolate strawberry cake for dessert.
Loved the ambiance, and our server was professional and attentive!
