Very nice happy hour. Great atmosphere for a date night. Your partner will thank you.

Good atmosphere. Nice wines! Loved the chocolate covered fig dessert.

We had a great time tonight. All of our choices were spot on. Had pears, manchego, paella, lamb lollipops, omelet , and flan limon. All great. Service was quick and friendly. Had a cucumber vodka drink that was fabulous. All in all a great meal with fun ambience. Definitely as good as their downtown locale.

I absolutely LOVE the 9th Door! I was really excited when they opened a location in my building at the Beauvallon. The HH is awesome and the food is delicious. I order for pick-up often and the food is always ready in 15-20 mins. The staff is always so friendly! Staple order items for me - olives/amonds, dates, chicken oloroso, manchengo mebrillo....yummmmmmmm!!!!

3.5 stars for food and 2.5 for service. I had high expectations from the reviews but it fell short on all levels. 3.5 - Tapas were decent but nothing to write home about. We shared 5 different plates and all were good but not over the top. Some of them even lacked flavor and the shrimp served with some broth was over cooked. 2.5 - Service. Oh where do I start. The young guy was very determined to get the up sell on all his recommendations for food and wine (not that it's a terrible thing but don't make it so obvious and all you recommend). Towards the end of the meal he started taking plates away without asking if we were finished. Some of them still had a bite left that we wanted to finish so we had to tell him to stop. Then he started taking away our wine glasses without asking. And once again we had to ask him to stop because there were still a few sips left that we wanted to finish. The icing on the cake is what some of the other reviewers have commented on too. We had 3 extra items on our bill that we did not order nor eat. One was a flan which we didn't even have dessert. He was quick to remove those items but as he did made sure to mention it wasn't intentional. Makes you wonder if he felt caught??? Anyways, you be the judge but definitely watch your bill at the end of the night.

I experienced the new 9th Door on Lincoln st in Denver the other night with 2 other friends before going to a show. We were extremely impressed with the ambiance, the decor and the excellent service. Our server Rachel was attentive and knowledgeable. The menu of small plates was perfect for sharing and trying new things. Can't wait to go back!
(5)Amie B.
This is definitely the best tapas restaurant in town. Manchego, jamon, peppers with goat cheese, fried artichoke, chorizo al vino, patatas bravas... All amazing. The wine list is off the hook. Service is great and I love the ambience. Met a friend there and had never been before. He loved it and vows he'll be back. I know I will be too.

We tried the 9th Door last night for date night and it didn't disappoint. I made reservations through Open Table on their website, and it worked fine. Parking was a bit of challenge but fine once we figured out where to park in the garage adjacent to the restaurant. We were greeted promptly at the door and seated immediately. Our server was very attentive and gave us pointers for our first visit. We placed our order and she staged the delivery of food at a nice pace. Here's a quick run down of our order and a few comments: Dolces Picantés - Sweet and spicy peppers stuffed with goat cheese - this was surprisingly one of our favorites. Tartness of the peppers and goat cheese really served as a great palate cleanser! Pera Rollos - Fresh pears, arugula, and Idiazábal cheese rolled in Serrano ham - I enjoyed the contrast of textures, saltiness, sweetness, and slight char on the pears Queso de Cabra con Miel - Fried goat cheese topped with spiced honey - Very good but perhaps a little pricey for what you get. Calamares Fritos a la Romana - Battered, flash fried baby squid served with traditional Spanish dipping sauces - Calamari were lightly breaded and came with 3 dipping sauces, essentially a marinara, aioli, and a traditional sauce with ground almonds and other ingredients which I unfortunately can't remember! One of our favorites! Paella Special - Mussels, Clams, Prawns and Spanish Sausage, and strips of roasted peppers - Delicious! Seafood was not overcooked, and the sausage was flavorful. Our other favorite! Flan de Limón - Lemon and rosemary-infused flan - great dessert, surprisingly light with a flavor profile that just worked! Chocolavá - Warm chocolate cake with a rich ganache center, served on an orange crème anglaise- What can I say other than Whoooo! Over the top chocolate, not for the faint of heart. I would really like to make it to happy hour, so we can try more of the menu at the HH prices and really dial in our favorites. Otherwise, we're fans!
(4)Robin B.
I have mixed feelings about this place. The HH tapas were fantastic but we went there specifically because of a coupon that was emailed. We spent $98 at HH and they would not honor the coupon because HH is a special event? Not a big deal, we finished our drinks and paid the bill and left a nice tip. However, on the way out one of the guys went over to speak to the manager and he was full of excuses. Not, oh I'm sorry the coupon is misleading or let me make this right for you or anything but else except a pitiful excuse and defensive.
(3)Brody G.
This is the first time we have been to this location. It lives up to the high expectations the Blake location set for us. The food and service were great! Short ribs, chorizo and scallops were all smashing hits at the table and we enjoyed every moment of our 2 hour meal. It is a bit pricey but worth it and a fun occasion. We will be back!
(5)Erika C.
nice decor ambiance. Service lax, but cheerful. GREAT scallop tapas. other tapas good too. music nice. had nice time. would go again for a casual night. not for special occasion. nice booths.

The hubs and I came here last night with our international food group. Parking around the area can be a bit tricky but once you've found a spot and settled into the restaurant, good times await. Tinto de Verano is a combination of red wine and Fanta which is beloved in Spain. Naturally I had to give that a try and I was not disappointed. It tasted like a weaker sangria but was light and refreshing. The hubs ordered the drifter which was a whisky cocktail and he too enjoyed it. For food options, we tried the following: Calamari - my favorite item of the night. Light, crispy and perfectly cooked Croquetas de Hongos - a mushroom croquette which was quite tasty Membrillo Y Manchego - quince paste with Manchego cheese; simple yet perfect combination of flavors Patatas Bravas - Fried potatoes which were good but nothing special Queso de Cabra - Fried goat cheese; the sauce was good but I didn't think it was the best fried cheese I've ever had as advertised on the menu Chuletitas de Cordero - Lamb Chops on polenta. The hubs ate the lamb but the polenta was very good Flan de Limon - The hubs liked this much better than I did - I thought the sauce was over powering Higos Rellenos - Chocolate dipped figs with an almond in the middle and a candied orange peel on top. A perfect finish to the meal. Service was prompt and friendly. This isn't the best tapas I've ever had but was still very good and we enjoyed our time here.
(4)Thaddius B.
I have been here for food only once and to drink a couple times. The place is very comfortable and inviting. The sangria's here rock, I liked he white option also. The food was pretty good overall, we ordered a variety of items to share and I was a fan of most of them. It is definitely a place worth checking out if you like tapas. Enjoy...
(4)Denise R.
I have to say I was not impressed we got so many different items but I didn't really find any thing that I loved I also thought it was very overpriced for what you get
(2)Claire C.
I had high expectations for this place based on the good reviews on Yelp but I was deeply disappointed. Having traveled to Spain and tasted real Spanish tapas I know what I'm talking about. This place just didn't measure up...not even close. The tapas we ordered were average at best not to mention the lack of the attention from the waitress (it wasn't even busy that night). The search for good tapas in Denver continues.
(2)Steph G.
Excellent round of tapas for dinner. Need I say more? If you must know, I had a grand old time eating and drinking away. I started with a cocktail - I can't recall the name, but it was simply vodka, simple syrup, and muddle cucumber. Definitely up my ally because vodka is my spirit of choice, and it was not too sweet at all. Yup, polished off 2 of those. The tapas: I highly recommend the lamp lollipops over polenta. They literally MELT.IN.YOUR.MOUTH. So good. It completely rekindled my love for lamb. Everything else we ordered was solid, but this was the one that blew me away, so give it a try. It's a must. I would definitely love to go back and have a stab at the other tapas and maybe some more cocktails. Or wine. Makes me want to start planning a trip to Spain.
(4)M T.
Came for happy hour and the prices were real cheap for the quality of food you get. I ordered the tostas Ajos, mejillones and pa amb tomaquet. All excellent food choices, very savory and high quality ingredients! I also ordered a glass of red sangria, not the best sangria I had but it was still really good and only $4 a glass during happy hour. Customer service was excellent, my server was rylie and she was awesome! I was very satisfied with the meal and can't wait to come back!
(5)Anitra S.
Easily the best tapas on the planet. They do really well pairings with wine, and their options are plentiful. There is something for every one here, even old grandpa who normally doesn't like that "weird food". The ambiance is dark with lots of mood lighting and big tall curtains. Give it a try!
(5)Stacy P.
I've enjoyed many trips to the downtown location and was very happy to see a location open up near Capitol Hill. We stopped in a few weeks ago, early on a Saturday night, and were very pleased. Both food and service were excellent. We arrived early, around 6pm in time to dine before our 8pm theater tickets. No reservation was no problem as the dinner rush hadn't arrived yet, and we were seated at a table in the middle of the restaurant near the patio doors. While there were quite a few people enjoying their meals on the patio, we preferred the indoor seating as it was a bit windy that night. We started with a couple of my favorites - the Croquetas De Hongos (mushroom and rice croquette) and the Calabacitas (roasted spaghetti squash) - and both were as good as they'd been downtown. By the way, if you've never had great spaghetti squash before, try this dish. It's amazing. I think we hit most areas of the menu, including the olives, artichoke hearts, a chicken dish, some chorizo, and the lemon flan for dessert. There wasn't a single dish that I'd be unhappy to have again. Dinner for our group of three + a few alcoholic drinks was about $70. Great food, good prices, and finally a convenient location for those of us on the edges of downtown. Study the menu and then go check it out yourself!
(5)Anastasia N.
I only leave reviews when I really love a place but my friends and I all loved this place! Our waiter Matt was incredible! We ordered a few plates and we left the rest to his recommendation. We were not disappointed. Everything has amazing flavor and the spiciness was perfect. There wasn't a dish we tried that we didn't love. But seriously, Matt deserves a raise.he's awesome. Our favorites were the truffle scallops, the fried goat cheese and the muscles and calm dish!
(5)Anita S.
Tapas are great. Savory and delightful. You come here for ambiance and a truly swanky atmosphere. Great date place!!! Don't expect huge servings--it's tapas not a buffet joint.
(4)Helen O.
LOOOOVE LOVE 9th door! Their happy hour is a steal, the tapas' pairings with the ingredients are complimentary, wowing, interesting-in a good way- to the pallet, and creative. Oh! Pretty decent Spanish wine list too! Sangria is so so, a little too much ice, but they are happy to put less for you and taste is pretty good. Lincoln and Blake locations are both incredible, European chic, and comfortable. Love 9th Door
(5)Christopher G.
I haven't tried a Tapas place since moving here from Connecticut (now going on 3 years). We were in a mood for date night, and Spanish Tapas seemed to fit the bill. 1st impression - cool location (apparently second to the original) but the door isn't well suited to Denver weather. I would avoid sitting near the bar area/door! 2nd impression - well we had to wait for reservations, but they made it up to us (bought us a cocktail for our time). If you miss the time we agreed to, do something nice. I appreciated it 3rd - food - yeah, the Papa Bravas were about as brave as my five year old. .The dipping sauces were cool. Yet everything else was solid. . the Pallea was delicious, the croquettes hit the spot. We even got this fried goat cheese and honey . . darn. I can not forget - the dates wrapped in bacon (they said crispy Serrano ham, but tasted like bacon to me). I wish they had Spanish hot chocolate. . but alas i may be the only one. I think my wife and I will be back to the 9th door, next time with friends. We may try the original location . . but this offshoot is nice if you can't get reservations you like there.
(4)William H.
This is a restaurant I was really wanting to like. It's a block away from house and I love tapas restaurants. The food was okay and overpriced. The worst part was the inattentive service. We came during happy hour and our waiter never informed us of this. We paid $13.00 for a glass of house wine! After we mentioned it was happy hour we were dismissed. There were these mysterious "upcharges" on our bill. We had just came in from 3 days of skiing (and the I70 drive) and I was super tired, otherwise i would have complained. I just wanted to get out there ASAP. Huge letdown.. and WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY overpriced.. $120. Someone needs to manage this place. I eat out every day and this is my single worst experience dining out in 2014.
(1)Kristy Y.
Love this place! Great wine and delicious food. Amazing service. We are new to the area and have tried a few spots. This place feels like home. They make you feel welcome. It's just a great place to unwind. When I'm coming home from a long day, I call my husband and tell him, "Meet me at 9th door!"
(5)George Y.
Absolutely love this place. The Tapas are great, no matter what you get. The staff is excellent as well. Jon and Rilee, the bartenders, are so friendly and inviting! I had a special request on liquor and Jon had it stocked in a day! A day!!!! Great service!! Since I moved into the area this has become my go to place. Make sure to try the Margarita as well as the Sangria. They both are wonderful.
(5)Stephanie H.
Food was delicious and authentic. A little pricey for what you get.
(4)C G.
I just had a fairly large get together here and it was the perfect venue! The staff is so hospitable, they took such great care of us, we are still talking about the great impact the service had on the event. John, the manager was the best host anyone could ask for! The tapas are delicious and the happy hour drinks are spot on. Highly recommend this place to anyone!
(5)Cyn C.
A SOLID 3.5 stars, based upon one visit so far. My friend and I decided to come here for HH, mostly b/c 9th door offers a CARAFE of sangria. We were seated pretty quickly (we came about about 5ish on a Friday), but the hostess made sure to let us know that there were reservations for that table at 730pm. I don't want to dock for it, but it seemed sort of... rude. Maybe if you were so worried, you ask us to sit at the bar for HH? Moving on. Our waiter was gracious, knowledgeable, and friendly. The ONLY thing I wish he did (that he didn't) was to come around one last time before HH was over to ask for last call. I LOVE when places/servers make sure to do that. FOOD: tortilla with egg and potato and aioli sauce. YUM. manchego and olive tapenade tartas: We ordered more when we demolished the first plate (each order comes with two bites). goat cheese with currant jam tartas: again, we ordered more. beef skewers with poblano peppers and onions: these were my least favorite. Ok. (off main menu) croquetas de hongas: risotto fried cake with shaved cheese, mushroom/sherry wine sauce, drizzle of truffle oil on top. BEST DISH OF THE NIGHT. we were licking the plate. (main menu). piquillo peppers with cheese: these were off the HH menu, but suffered due to a mistake by the kitchen. They came out last, after the risotto cake. We drank the carafe, and we each also had a mojito. I don't know if these were virgin or something, b/c I'm a bit of a lightweight when it comes to alcohol and I wasn't even buzzed. So, boo on that. We also ran into a small problem with the bill. As in, dishes we didn't receive or didn't order showed up on it. So, check your bill! (they were happy to take care of it). To sum up: make a reservation. food was a solid 4.5 stars. Service (from waiter) was 4 stars. Drinks - 2 stars. And, check your bill.
(3)Stefanie J.
Food was awesome and it had a nice cozy atmosphere. Downside was the service. The waitress seemed rushed (there was one other table sat in the place) and annoyed to have to tend to us. After ordering 2 rounds, she informed us that the kitchen staff was new and so they were closing down the kitchen early. With all of us being in the service industry this seemed like it was a bogus excuse for her to get out early (which is where her annoyance with us coming in for a 7:30 reservation probably came into play). We got the last round and a check and as we were leaving we saw her flirting with some boy at the bar (maybe a boyfriend?) the bartender greeted us on the way out but our server was too busy playing kissy face to acknowledge us leaving. I may go back again due to the food and in hopes of a different server that actually wants to do their job.

We went to Lincoln 9th Door tonight after having previous good experience at both of the locations. Tonight our waiter generally pushed the up-sell hard, to the point where it became awkward when our friend had to tell the waiter he didn't want to spend that much money on wine ($20 more than the bottle he initially ordered) and the waiter tried to tell him it was not that much more money. Later, after we had ordered a few different tapas, and after they had been delivered to our table, our waiter told us that he had "asked the chef" to add portions to the tapas so there was enough food for the four of us. What I learned later, was that the waiter had actually charged us for more food than we had actually ordered. My bf didn't mention it when he received the check because he did not want to appear rude in front of our friends.
(2)Mike H.
I really do like this place a lot as you'll see from my previous review. However, I cannot ignore that 2 of my last 3 visits they have been closed or about to close and not going to serve us. Tonight we tried to come in at 9:40p thinking we would at least be able to catch a plate or two with a sherry... that is if they were to close at 10p. It's actually posted here on Yelp that they are open till 11p and now looking on their website 10:30p, yet would not serve us tonight at 9:40p with 4 others at the bar drinks in hand. The visit before last was greater by a locked door. I don't care how great our previous visits have been if you can't run your posted hours I'll just go to Crash45 where I know they will be at the very least consistently closed.
(2)Elizabeth L.
This restaurant has the best tapas in Colorado! I love their rotating specials and the tortilla española is so yummy!
(5)Kenny N.
Food tour with the family! We barely snuck into The 9th Door's happy hour. We quickly ordered nearly everything and then awaited the results. Overall, it was ok. I've spent a lot of time living in Madrid and hanging out in Barcelona and Valencia. I know tapas and this just seemed like a hollow imitation of what I can get in Spain. I say this because The 9th Door has a reputation as being the place for Spanish tapas, but based on this experience, I don't feel they are taking this responsibility seriously. I have totally mixed feelings. The food is fine and they offer a variety of cold and hot tapas. Many items came with bread which limited my gluten-free brother, but he managed to eat things off the bread. The most disappointing thing was the patatas bravas because it's so classically Spanish. I'm going to stop.
(3)Caitlin P.
My husband and I have been a few times and we've always had a great experience here. We came once with his parents and didn't have a reservation, but they were able to squeeze us in without too long of a wait. Everything we have ordered was solid (our favorite is the beef skewers, I forget the actual name).
(5)Rachel W.
Fantastic food, awesome service. Everything I've tried here is amazing. Happy hour drink prices are fantastic! Rylie was a great waitress, helpful, energetic, attentive. Will be back!
(5)Frank G.
The food is fantastic and the service is generally great. Saturday evening I went in to meet friends prior to attending the fetish ball. The bartender John was not only smug and above giving competent service but injected his opinion that my costume was ridiculous. We will be changing our pre-event cocktail hour venue to a bar with less self righteous, silent servers.
(2)Michael R.
100%. Will come back again and again. Rylie rules (waitress, among the best I've EVER had) and so did every single dish we ordered. One of the best.
(5)Troy P.
Food and wine were fine. Service is an oxymoron in this restaurant. It is clear everyone has a role and if it is not your server you are not acknowledged. The food server was the worst ... Our waitress/ bartender was busy and trying to get this gals attention well I might as well been invisible. Reminds me of that song Mr Cellophane . Sad to see a restaurant that has a good product run by folks who basically don't care.. I will vote with my feet and wallet and move on and let others know Beware bad service is likely. A good case for replacing the staff since the owner has no idea of how bad folks are being served. Closing the door on the 9th door - adios
(1)Lenka J.
As I am writing this review yelp is informing me that they are closing in 25mins. Well, I was there an hour ago and the female bartender informed us that she is completely closed for tonight while four people were sitting at the bar with drinks in hand. One of the guests tried to light up the situation by telling me that the bartender would not serve him a second drink. Wait a minute. Your website says you are open for the next 50mins and yelp states that you are open for another hour and half! Since you can't keep your posted hours I wish you good luck. You are not the only place that serves tapas in Denver. Also, if you are training your staff to close early due to lack of business at least train them to be polite and not snotty. Comfy chairs and cool decor will not keep you in business. It's all about the service.
(1)D U.
Tonight was my 4th visit to this 9th Door location. I met a friend from the neighborhood to catch up over a few drinks. Our bartender, Angela was excellent! Very personable with the right mix of personal attention without hovering - very hard to find. Great whisky drinks. My prior 3 experiences here have been with John who is also a top notch bartender and knows how to mix an awesome cocktail. 4 out of 4, 9th Door. Great cocktails - great atmosphere - nice bartenders. Its good to have a higher class option, walkable, in Cap-Hill, finally. Looking forward to my next visit here.
(4)Ern D.
I've enjoyed all of my experiences at 9th door but this was my first time at this location and I absolutely loved it. Much more intimate, the music was mood appropriate (Spanish music and not techno like the other location) and the service was great. Food is always delicious, of course.
(5)Kate D.
It looks as though the 9th Door has successfully transitioned their downtown location into the new location at the Beauvallon. Same vibe, same great service and same fantastic tapas. I do wish sometimes they would switch up the menu a bit, but hey when you've got a good thing going why mess with it? Be sure not to miss the great HH deals with drinks and food. Seriously can't be beat! As for parking, you have one of two options, either park on the street and pay a meter, which happens to end at 6pm or park in one of the visitor spots in the Beauvallon garage. Be sure to watch out though as you drive in on the left and not the right. Enjoy!
(4)Kinleigh C.
I took my husband here for his birthday last night and left feeling a little disappointed. I will start by saying that the food itself was delicious, and we both truly enjoyed everything we ate, but the experience fell short. I had made a reservation prior and noted that we were celebrating a birthday, but we were given a less than awesome table by the kitchen since apparently the restaurant was so packed, but the nicer tables in the back stayed empty the whole time we were there. We then ordered a variety of tapas which all arrived at once. I guess we should have ordered them individually, but we've dined at many tapas restaurants, and our orders have always come out one by one in a leisurely manner. As I mentioned, the food was thankfully extremely good and our server was also great, so that helped a lot. Unfortunately, the chocolate lava dessert was not nearly as good as the rest of our meal even though it sounded amazing on the menu. So basically, great food minus dessert, good server, but fairly poor experience overall, and no acknowledgement of my husband's birthday which I know is not necessary but would've been nice.
(3)Kimberly I.
Yayyyyyy!!! Another 9th door location within walking distance! I am so excited about this. I love the 9th door and all of their delicious tapas! This location is a little bit smaller, but just as dark and cozy. I wish they had happy hour on the weekend, but they do have it Mon-Fri 4 to 6:30! I will definitely be coming here a lot! This visit we got the "Croquetas de Hongos." The sherry sauce was delicious. We also got the"Patatas Bravas " which is The 9th Door's version of little french fries. They come with 3 cauces and are a good munchie to share with the table. Other than that we did our fair share of drinking. The moscow mules are great here... and I tried a new drink called "Tinto de Verano," which is red wine and fanta. I saw it and thought... "how gross!." Instead, I was assured it was delicious and much like a native drink of Spain (red wine and coke) so I gave it a shot.... might be my new favorite little spritzer! Pretty good and they are only 5 bucks a pop! ;) To top off the evening... our table of ladies fell in love with out waiter Joe. He was so friendly, had great suggestions, and was a step ahead of the game. We never had to search for him... he was right there with refills and witty comments that made us love. The service was great and it all made for a wonderful girls night!
(5)Ran T.
This is their second location. It's just as good as the other one if not better. We went there on a Friday night and it was packed. I think it's because lots of people got their $20 off promotional emails. We got seated quickly. We waited around 20 minutes for the food to arrive because the kitchen was super busy. The tapas were delicious. I highly recommend the Spanish sausages cooked in red wine (not only it's tasty it will also fill you up), the bacon wrapped dates (not really bacon but I can't really remember the name) and calamari. The manager (I think) personally delivered the calamari but accidentally spilled a couple of them onto the table. He apologized and got us another plate for free. That's what I call service! I would definitely go back to check out their happy hours.
(4)Kathryn K.
I went to the 9th Door on Lincoln last night with party of 40 ppl and am so pleased with the service we received. We made the reservation weeks ago and even though they have a kind of crazy "large party contract" they were very flexible and accommodating with my requests. Angela was especially helpful with fulfilling the reservation. The 2 servers who waited on us were super patient and friendly, even with our table of 18 middle school kids. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food and drink. It was a great experience. I'll be returning, especially for their happy hour which I heard is great.
(5)Bryan C.
Poor all around. The first glass of tempranillo we ordered was vinegar - undrinkable. The server took it back and the second more expensive tempranillo we ordered was fine. We ordered 6 plates - 2 were quite tasty (mushroom risotto thing and serrano-wrapped dates filled with goat cheese - that one was spectacular, actually - the highlight of the meal). However, the jamon iberico had a very bitter finish (though initially did have the expected nutty taste) - I can only imagine that either it was past its prime, poor quality, or we got the very heel of the ham. The serrano-wrapped shrimp was fishy - not fresh shrimp. The other 2 plates were okay but unremarkable. Dessert. The creme brulee was average (custard texture was somewhat chunky but flavor was okay). The sorbet (something like raspberry thyme) was awful - sour and bitter. I should point out that I actually like some bitter things (lightly cooked Brussels sprouts, raw broccoli, etc) but the iberico and the sorbet at 9th Door were icky bitter. To top off our evening (my wife and I left the kids with grandma and grandpa for a rare evening to ourselves), the price we were charged for the coffee I ordered was higher than the price listed on the menu. On the way out, I asked the hostess to see a menu to verify and indeed I had been overcharged. The hostess had me wait for 5-7minutes for the server, Catherine, to come out to discuss (?). She said without really apologizing that it was a computer error. She held out two coins representing the overcharge amount. I extended my hand to take them, explaining I didn't like being charged a different price than that listed on the menu. Catherine then withdrew the two coins and stormed off back into the restaurant. I was not rude, nor did I elevate my voice in frustration. I was dumbfounded by the lack of professionalism and the overall poor quality of the food. We will never go back. This review is for the Blake St. Location.

Where should I start?
(5)Michele H.
What an amazing place! You order small plates which you share with your friends. We ordered slowly, two or three plates at a time, experimenting with different flavors. Absolutely everything we tried was perfectly delicious. The wine was excellent, the food scrumptious, and the service friendly and impeccable!
(5)Marie M.
Have been twice now - once for dinner and once for drinks after work. I LOVE that you can get small plates (it's a Spanish tapas place) and LOVE the lighting - very sexy and romantic but also just cool to hang out with my girlfriends and feel pretty. There is kind of a red glow from the red chandeliers that run down the length of the cozy room. Okay - the food. LOVE it - we tried a half a dozen small plates at happy hour and the prices were extremely reasonable and the food damn delish. We had olives and nuts and the small stuffed peppers (with goat cheese) were out of this world! The shrimp and avocado salad - amazing. The hot dishes were ham-wrapped dates and some ribs - we ordered more of both. Dinner was a similar experience (great) but we sat in the booths - which are very luxurious and offer a lot of privacy. (Meaning, you could make out with someone or talk state secrets and you'd be just fine!). We tried some of the same that we had at happy hour and also added beef skewers and some delish chicken. Listen, I'm not a restaurant critic and not even an avid YELP critic, but I do know what I like - atmosphere is KEY and this place makes me feel happy and pretty, service is KEY and this place has friendly staff and super nice bartenders, great wine selection - not KEY - but tried at least three different over my two times here and loved them all (they were Spanish reds) and food is KEY - not a bad plate in the bunch.
