👍👍 Our party of 8 was looked after very nicely by the servers. The service was friendly l, pleasant and prompt. The menu items are interesting and easy to choose from. All of the items we ordered were delivered within a reasonable time and proved to be excellent choices. To me it appeared less of a Tap... People often mention service, menu, restaurant, time,

    Our party of 8 was looked after very nicely by the servers. The service was friendly l, pleasant and prompt. The menu items are interesting and easy to choose from. All of the items we ordered were delivered within a reasonable time and proved to be excellent choices. To me it appeared less of a Tapas menu and more of a regular featured menu. But none the less all great tasting items. Small place but worth a try.

    First time here. Food quality is good. Decent amount of food as well. They have 3 course lunch special menu for $20 including Soup/salad, main course and a scoop of gelato. Nice and high ceiling indoor seating with spacious space. Good service here. I will come back here soon. Will try different dishes next time.

    Lovely new restaurant with really delicious food! We had the Pulpo Sharing Plate, the Ceviche and Paella, all were incredibly tasty and well presented. Staff were very friendly and attentive, will definitely be back!

    Friendly neighborhood spot for ceviche to rigatoni and steaks to fresh fish. Intriguing wine selection and sangria! Apps and flatbreads appeal. Middle Eastern touch. Contemporary decor on lively stretch of old Burlingame. Make a reservation for peak times.

    Burlingame friends, neighbors and the surrounding community. If there was ever a time to help support a local business then please read my review on this amazing local restaurant. I found myself heading home from work Monday evening and thought about a new place that had just opened up a few months ago. At first I thought the establishment would be closed but was pleasantly surprised to see that they are open 7 days a week! When I entered around 8:00 PM the lighting, music and overall aesthetics of the restaurant were very pleasing and extremely inviting. With only a few customers, I decided to sit down at the bar to really enjoy my surroundings. It was clear right off the bat that no matter what day of the week this restaurant was going to provide the best customer service and dining experience possible. They had three people working the front of the house, and from what I could see five people working in the kitchen. I was immediately served a crisp, cold glass of water and then ordered a glass of Merlot that tasted wonderful. After looking over the menu, I decided on the salmon entrée. Let me tell you when it was served I could immediately tell that everyone in the kitchen must’ve played a role in the incredible presentation that I was looking at in front of me. The salmon, potatoes, mixed vegetables, lemon wedges, everything was staged to perfection and the taste of each of those items separately and then all together was out of this world delicious. I ordered a second glass of Merlot, followed by my dessert choice coconut crème brûlée. You want to talk about an amazing, delicious, joyful, and happy desert then please please order the coconut crème brûlée. The portion size was twice what you would get somewhere else and the incredible flavor, texture and crunch cannot be compared to any other restaurant. At around 9 o’clock I asked if they were closing so I could hurry up, but was told that they do have a set time “really “ but they play it by ear staying open and making sure that each customer gets a chance to eat, and to finish their dining experience. That made me really happy plus about five minutes after the conversation a couple came in to sit down and have a late dinner so I knew that their experience would be just as great as mine. Everything about this restaurant was five stars for sure! From the customer service, decor, food, and wine. It is definitely worth making this experience, a staple of your life. Please if you haven’t done, so already head over and have an incredible lunch or dinner not only will your experience be the best ever but you’re also helping to support local businesses here in Burlingame. And just so everyone reading this knows that this is just not a review it’s the absolute truth and I’ve already been back a second time this week, and will return again this weekend for their brunch and mimosas. Hope to see all of you there soon!

    The staff was eating in the restaurant. 1 behind the bar and 1 at the table. No one explained the menu (new restaurant) we ordered flights...bottles were provided with 0 explanation. 3 seperate staff members were on their phones including the kitchen staff. They use a microwave for the majority of the food we observed to go out to the dining room. The menu has more typos then you can count. No one in the kitchen wears gloves, the wine was all obtainable from Safeway. They won't last sadly......branding is way off and the service lacks personability. There was no clear person in charge. Also in question is the wine.....not temperature controlled in any way but more of a display piece. I'm sad for this place, so much potential but all details lack amd are cheap.

    Pulpo flight is to die for! Justin “Isosceles” Blend, Bella Glos Pinot Noir, and Jordan Cabernet aka all the luscious mouth watering California wines. Burlingame needed it! Cheers 🥂

    Great place! Loved the food and the service!

  • 5/5 Sean C. 5 months ago on Google
    A very pleasant surprise! Good menu with options, but doesn't overwhelm. Prices are very reasonable as well. An above average wine selection in my opinion. Menu feels like Mediterranean seafood with steak options. They also have a list of specials each day that are outside of the seafood theme. Will be back.

    I was so excited about this place but it was a big disappointment. The quality of the food was very questionable. We ordered four different dishes to share. The only dish that was ok was the burger. The calamari was soggy, the tuna was just ok, the Caesar salad was unappetizing, the shrimp was very over cooked and bland. Patatas were very bland. The meal was nicely presented but not delicious.

👍 It was nice to be there. The service was excellent. Food was also good. It was my first time trying the Peruvian food. Adding them images of a few that we tried. Non alcoholic drinks weren't very crazy. We liked the ambience. We would definitely recommend this place.
