    We really enjoyed our evening, especially being seated at a cozy corner table by the wine rack — it created the perfect atmosphere for dinner. Jake was our waiter and brought great energy to the experience while being very attentive throughout the meal. The food was outstanding from start to finish. We began with the meat and cheese tray, followed by tapas including the shrimp and short rib, which were both excellent. For dinner, we ordered the Carne Paella and the Half Chicken — both were flavorful and perfectly prepared. A special note that my dad, who is hard of hearing, truly enjoyed both the ambience and the overall dining experience, which made the evening even more meaningful for our family. Celebrating OSU grad!

    Outstanding experience! Everything exceeded expectations. You must try the charcuterie board-an innovative assortment of meats, cheeses, olives and pickled vegetables. We also had the springs pea appetizer ( I forgot the name) another lovely starter. The duck main was creative and executed beautifully. Our waiter was excellent as well. Attentive and friendly but not overbearing. Truly a very special place.
