Secondly, my market-priced steak, my wife's jerk chicken, and my son's chicken nuggets were disappointing. We felt the dishes were overpriced, and the food was lacking in seasoning. Genuine Spanish cuisine is usually known for its vibrant flavors, but we were left wondering if our meals were seasoned at all. While my son did enjoy his $10+ chicken nuggets, receiving bland food at such prices felt unacceptable. We understand that the location may drive up prices, but we believe that flavor should not be sacrificed, especially when accommodating a diverse community that may not be accustomed to bold seasonings. Lastly, the customer service was adequate—polite but occasionally inattentive, never crossing the line into rudeness. Overall, it's not a terrible place. However, if you are looking for truly authentic Spanish cuisine or more reasonably priced options with better quality control, I would suggest checking out other places.

Charming little restaurant in Woodstock. We had a reservation and arrived a few minutes early, and they seated us right away. Our waitress had many tables to attend to, but she managed everything exceptionally well. After we placed our order, the food was served promptly. We tried the coconut shrimp, which were delicious; however, the beef empanadas were just mediocre and could have used more crispiness. Unfortunately, neither my husband nor I enjoyed the vegetable paella as it lacked flavor. Despite that, I would definitely return to try different dishes since the beef steak dish looked amazing.

The service at this restaurant was impeccable. I didn't have a reservation at peak dinner time and they squeezed me in! My girlfriend got the pumpkin bisque, which she really liked. The chimichurri steak was also delicious, and so were their salmon. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
