It's okay...: The dishes are small and tasty, and a bit over-priced. Don't go if you're expecting exceptional Spanish Tapas...you'll be disappointed. But at least it's close to the University...
Not bad for an uptown joint...: This is a good place for anyone living above 96th St. who (like me) doesn't want to ride alllllll the way downtown to eat/hang out. The food is good and not too $$$- the crabcakes and mini burgers are a must try. If you're looking for a good deal, stick to the tapas menu- it'll fill you up. They have both modern and traditional tapas, which makes for plenty of choices, and the drink menu offers the same (my fave is the Coco Pleasure). The lounge can get a bit loud, so I recommend dining in the early evening. Still, a decent place to have dinner and then head down for some dancing- all with out having to go downtown.
