Despite the tasty food and nice service, this was a terrible experience. We had made a large reservation which people bailed on. However, because the reservation was so high we were still forced to order the tapas dinner.

This was $45 a person not counting drinks. Even though our party size was smaller we were still obligated to eat the premade tapas dinner because it was "already prepared". What?

The bill for 2 with one drink each came out to $150. This is acceptable? For anyone reading this, you're cool with paying that for tapas!? Not full dinners. Tapas.

This was my first time here and I never plan on coming back. From being forced to eat off a menu NO ONE wanted to order from to being over charged for a miniscule amount of food, this was pathetic. I say forced because the guy who set the reservation up would have been charged a fee to his card on file had we decided to just leave.

Oh, and lastly, we had two children with us. They too were charged the full $45 rate. Honestly would not recommend for any reason. Nothing in the above review is excusable.

In short: this was bullshit. The amount of food did not equal 45 a person for ten people. Children were charged an adult rate. Total bill was around $700. This was absolutely terrible.

Had an exception been made or our food not "already prepared", I'm sure the experience would have been something else.
