Came here for dinner and the flavors just exploded in my mouth! Everything was rich and delicious. We got some eggplant croquettes that were creamy on the inside and wonderfully crunchy and chewy on the outside, a tempura squash on toast dish that had great texture and pops of sweetness from some honey I think, a pulled lamb entree that was rich and savory, and finished off with the almond pie that I would highly recommend. So leave room for dessert! Prices are on the higher side, nice for a special occasion. I did find the service to be a bit scattered and unrefined for the type of atmosphere and price point, but nothing terrible. A little more on the reactive side vs. proactive service. The interior mid-century style is quite nice and there are some really great furnishings inside.

The ambiance and decor gave me life. Its details and esthetics are carefully crafted. But the food…the food. I had the Spanish tortilla sandwich. The It looks so simple but in the bite complex flavors and melt in your mouth locally sourced foods satisfy your palette. If you appreciate and are knowledgeable about good food that takes time to come to your table because it is that “dumb good” then this is your place. Be ready to wait for your food because this is a small place.

Do you want the Michelin-star quality of food without the pretentious environment or prices. This is it my friend. Come by for the food, coffee or Spanish-selected wine but stay for the culture. My compliments to the chef and owner!

If you just came back from a trip to Barcelona and were looking to relive some of your memories, this is the place. The tapas tasted on par with the best we had in Barcelona. Some things like the croquettes are fried better than anything we had in Spain. Patatas bravas didn't just have mayo on top like some places.

James, the (owner) chef is not only very personable, his food is amazingly delicious. Farm to table is unbeatable. It shows how much he cares about the customers he serves. If you haven't experienced his creation, I highly recommend you do.

We were in Chicago over Mother’s Day weekend and a friend from NYC who knows owner told us to check out this place. It’s a small spot but we foodies know some of the best food comes from small places. The vibe was great. The food was interesting and had a bang.

We stopped in for breakfast with Chef James and it was the most outstanding eating experience I’ve had in a second. A wonderful atmosphere from flavors, to conversation. A reminder to let go of expectations: get to know the people behind the counter, and allow yourself to learn and be blown away. The flavors were exquisite. Thank you chef!

A stunning Sunday brunch at this Spanish-inspired neighborhood restaurant located in the heart of Lincoln Park.

The restaurant has been rated as one of the top restaurants in 2022 by Bon Appetit, and it's easy to see why.

The brunch menu is simple yet interesting, and the dishes are carefully thought out and beautifully presented. The intricate plating is colorful and pleasing to the eye, and each component adds unique flavors to the overall dish.

The ambiance is perfect for a neighborhood restaurant, with silverware, plates, and some all furniture from CB2. The restaurant is a good size and not too crowded, but reservations are always recommended.

With drinks and dessert, our total came to about $40 per person, which we found to be a fair and reasonable price for a high-quality brunch in Chicago. We thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday brunch here and would highly recommend it to others. In fact, it's one of the best brunches I’ve had in 2022, and i dined at many places in different cities. Highly recommended this place!
