Came back here again for a friend's birthday celebration.

Same waiters and bartender with owner overseeing everything.

Food is consistently delicious and reasonably priced. Cash only!

Tapas and a small salad arrive at the table after you have sat down.

Garlic shrimp scampi, Spanish sausage, BBQ lamb ribs, Mussels cured in an onion vinaigrette, and Bread served with REAL pats of butter! All these years they have been serving margarine and FINALLY real butter!

We ordered pitchers of white sangria which went well with the seafood entrees. We all ordered lobster tails that are not on the menu. A plate of 6 small lobster tails halved came shortly with what looked like drawn saffron butter to dip the succulent meat in. Heaven!

The tapas and bread really fill you up but we ended the meal with dessert.

Vanilla ice cream topped with Green creme de menthe and Leche Flan.

I've been here on several occasions, most recently for a friends birthday dinner and the place hasn't changed in many years. The waitstaff are still the same old guys that barely crack a smile, the once white walls are still dingy, and the furniture and paintings are still dark and brown.
The menu is also consistent and consistently good a plentiful!

Once you sit down and order a drink, "tapas" or small plates of appetizers are brought to your table as part of your dinner. Spanish sausage, lamb ribs (in what seems like Chinese oyster sauce), steamed mussels in diced onions and vinegar, and bread with margarine.

To start, I ordered Snails In Burgundy Wine and they were fabulous!
My entree was Paella Valenciana with Lobster and it was enough for two!

Appetizers run about $6 each and entrees are less than $20.
The sangria is simply delicious and we had three pitchers!
This establishment does NOT accept credit cards! CASH ONLY!

Heard that this restaurant is packed on the weekends. I went on a Monday and it was pretty quiet.
Judging from the menu, this restaurant is part Spain and Basque (Spanish with French influence)

Definitely check this place out!
