Rough Guide Star
"Famous for high-standard, moderately priced Spanish food, notably paella, eaten appropriately enough in a dining room that looks like something straight out of a luxurious Iberian villa."
Where "Flavorful seafood, paella, the 1905 salad and sangria made tableside are among the favorites at this casual upscale Mediterranean restaurant." Full review
Frommer's "This outpost bustles as boldly as its daddy. The hot, fresh Cuban bread is so delicious you’ll want to fill up on it. " Full review
