    Despite it's a new restaurant, this is a very good one. The food is good and very Spanish style. Moreover the service is great , funny and they all make you feel like home. I will return here absolutely 😊

    Sold on the quality of the food by the gent outside. Got inside to find a wonky table. Ordered drinks - beer was stale and the cocktails were small. Food arrived but the cutlery never did despite 2 times requesting. Food was missing sauces and the meatballs were straight out the microwave from the freezer. Avoid

    The worst meal in a very long time. Also unfriendly service. Not quite sure if this “experience” is even worth my review. (We had Rib eye steak, Rack of lamb and Patatas). Definitely do not recommend.

    AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Awful microwave tapas. Meatballs were still part frozen at the bottom, moussaka was just some fried veg in tomato sauce. Half the dishes weren't as advertised. Service was awful. We had to ask twice for cutlery to be brought to the table and the servers never came over to take more drinks orders from us. We then had to wait 20 minutes after asking for the bill for it to actually get brought over.

    Very kind store. The service staff is very handsome and kind. Because I accidentally ordered too much food, I can’t cancel it. The handsome guy invites everyone to drink

    Mediocre restaurant with very expensive prices, good food and exceptionally bad service. There were 4 of us and we ordered pretty much the most expensive plate on the menu. One plate for two people each. We got no silverware before asking for it, even after we got our salad, the personnel did not serve silverware without asking for it. After that we got 4 times silverware with one napkin and had to ask for more napkins too. We got our first side dish and the team said the rest is coming in a moment. The potatoes got cold after 10 minutes and still nothing else. Then the main dish was served without fries, we were then already eating for 10 minutes and then got the fries. Food was tasty, service terrible, paid 120 Euros for 4 people, which was the highest amount after 3 days in Amsterdam in any random restaurant and it was the worst experience. The teamlead asked for feedback after we paid the full amount and took the criticism by heart, while being very friendly.

    Drinking chef on duty, mixing up orders, waiter doesn’t check what he delivers to the table. After several complaints we had to keep 2 dishes which were wrong and sent 1 dish back to kitchen as it was not possible to eat! After all, food is bad and bill contained the wrong items. Unfortunately I checked reviews after we ordered food, was too late to run away. Dont recommend to anyone! Health and safety needs to be send there!!!

    Excellent restaurant with amazingly friendly staff. Thank you Guido and Sofia for the mood and wonderful dinner. The seafood paella, the Crema Catalana dessert and the excellent quality red wine were amazing. Thank you for a delicious Spanish evening. We will definitely come back to you.

    Highly recommended. Paella and tapas are a must try. Affordable tasty dishes. Our server is super cool and carries good vibes.

    We got the tapas (€34 per person), and it was super tasty! The atmosphere is nice, the music is a VIBE! The service was also quick, the servers were super nice, i recommend the cocktails (€11) too! Our favorites were the mushroom with garlic and the shrimps with garlic, we recommend.

  • 5/5 Nary K. 11 months ago on Google
    The food is absolutely amazing and so so delicious – everything we tasted melted in other mouths. Absolutely the best meal we had in Amsterdam and the staff truly cares about you.

  • 3/5 Joel G. 6 months ago on Google
    Had paella for two, it was very tasty and inexpensive. I wanted bread with my salad, they must have gone out to find some. Not only that, it wasn't very good. Paella for two, a bottle of wine, one salad and bread only $70.

  • 1/5 Matt S. 5 months ago on Google
    The service was friendly, although our initial server was new, and not knowledgeable with the menu.. no problem. The food I had here was mediocre at best. Nothing was freshly cooked, and resembled the quality of economy class airplane food. Spanish omelet was dreadful. If you love a freshly made Tortilla Española don’t even bother. The eggplant mousaka was decent in flavor, but cooked to mush. Spare ribs were ok,not great. They came with fries that were cold, and a salad, that had black rotten lettuce in it. Absolutely unacceptable, and disgusting. Do yourself a favor, and skip this spot if you want a good meal. 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽

    Been there in august and it is true that I had to wait for my food a little longer, but that was probably because it was peak hours and season. Other than that everything was great the food was delicious the servers were really kind and the place was really comfy too. An overall good experience would go back again.

    Authentic Spanish feel and atmosphere Sometimes live guitar performance in Spanish. Very slow service who forgot the order twice. Tapas are great but other food like paella can be on the salty side so beware

  • 1/5 Andrea S. 1 year ago on Google
    It was busy so I thought it must be good. I asked for zalm with fries and salad: small piece of zalm with no almost no taste, fries without salt and no sauces (unless you ask for them), but the worst was the salad. A ready made salad from the supermarket without taste, no sauce, nothing, totally dry. Almost €15 for such a terrible plate. The sangria was like a grape juice with some fruits, not even close to a fresh Spanish one. Pay attention on the menu, please.

  • 1/5 Sarah Ben M. 1 year ago on Google
    trust me don‘t go there, it was by far the worst restaurant I have ever been. The cocktail was way to strong and the food was not selfmade. It came out of the freezer

  • 1/5 Krista A. 1 year ago on Google
    Made a reservation 1.5 weeks in advance online for a Tuesday. Planned our day around it. Reservation confirmation also received. We show up at 19 as planned and still inside, lights out,completely closed.

  • 3/5 Oscar S. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was ok, a bit pricey for the quality. Friendly service. Good variety of different tapas.

  • 1/5 jack b. 2 years ago on Google
    Worst paella of my life, parts where dry, crunchy and stuck to the pan and shell everywhere. Everyone's meals came out 10-20 minutes apart.

  • 5/5 Nancy R. 1 year ago on Google
    The interior is great, very cozy. The food is very tasty and it comes very fast. The staff is extremely friendly like no where else in Amsterdam. They have wide variety of drinks and leave room for some desert at the end! Créma catalana was fantastic.

  • 1/5 Katharina A. 1 year ago on Google
    We visited this Restaurant today spontaneously. It was no problem to get a table. But it was a complete disaster!!! Maps and plates dirty, you couldn't wash your hands in the toilet. Service were 3 boys who did absolutely nothing. There is a bottle of olive oil on the table with rotten olives inside! Forgotten food was only prepared on request. We weren't asked for more drinks or dessert or anything else. The table wasn't cleared and we were told to calculate the bill ourselves. Only after repeated requests was then collected at all. The only positive thing was the really tasty food. For this I give the only Star!

  • 5/5 J-C C. 1 year ago on Google
    Definitely a good place for grilled beef. My entrecôte was just lovely, with that extra flavoring that comes from grilling. Generous portion of fries too. If you order the sangria, despite the volume they announce, half of it is given to fruits and ice cubes. Inside it is a little dark, but the staff is very nice.

    The tapas I had were delicious (Mejillones Picantes and Pollo Al Ajillo). Service was incredible, my server was Helder (from Portugal). I would definitely go back!

👍👍 The perfect place to enjoy high-quality seafood at a reasonable price. Was surprised to see this large restaurant buzzing at 5pm (both inside and outside!) but after seeing the fresh fish on display and trying the sashimi which just melts in the mouth I understood why. The staff were also very well-...
