Off menu I had the spaghetti aglio olio, and some of the fiorentina steak and cotoletta Milanese and all were phenomenal!Traditional Italian fare that is top quality, you can't go wrong!
An incredible meal for our 20th Anniversary - Thank you Oloroso!The table was perfect, towards the back against the side wall.Staff was very accommodating and friendly.Food, was way beyond expectation.Each selection was nicely sized, and seasoned perfectly. We highly recommend the "Charcutería y Queso" - some lovely selections.And then, the real star of the night, "Grilled Octopus- Muhammara, Fennel, Black Olives, Mombasa". Tender and delicious.We will, absolutely, be back for more, and we will bring many friends to share in the evening.
Poor service! Sitting next to a table of five, the server completely ignored us. Waited long time to order and to pay. No water refilled.The fish and the sourdough are too sour for us. But the rest are good.
I'm surprised by all the positive reviews here.We only ordered three tapas dishes here, and then left because none of them were interesting. The food we got was bland/mild, and had no "impact". If you enjoy spicy or intense food, you should not come here.The only person I think would enjoy this place foodwise is if you have a sensitive palate and cannot handle spicy or exotic flavors. If you enjoy food from a wide variety of cultures and cooking styles, you will be bored here. And to be clear, I like good tapas restaurants - this just isn't one of them.Interestingly, the one cocktail I got here surprised me in how tasty it was. The cocktail menu is not impressive-looking, but my low expectations were shattered when I started drinking the cocktail I got. It was a vodka based drink that had some kind of tea-infused syrup, lemon, and liquor 43.Really, I'd like to give this place 2.5 stars, but I can only give whole stars. Two stars for the food, and an additional half star for a surprisingly good cocktail and pretty good music.
The price is very good and the taste is delicious
I like the paella very much. The food is great, but it's also expensive. I doubt why it is $$, rather than $$$, we spent 45$/person.
I've come here 5 times now and am always ordering new dishes to try. This past time I went exactly at 4:30pm when they opened, the waitress is energetic, knowledgeable, and works pretty much every time I go. We are typically seated in the same spot. The place is pretty dim, I wish there was maybe more light at the table. Parking is, as usual, difficult for the area.Short Rib: Mixed feelings about this. The short rib itself is a WOW for texture just melted, the sauce is a red wine reduction, which was disgusting, with how pungent it was. Portions were atrocious for $22.Ribeye $55/per person: Took about 45 minutes to cook, came out with rosemary. The flavor was great, but unfortunately the cook is Medium to Rare and completely forgot to tell them Medium-Well. The waitress didn't ask us either. I think this was an oversight of hers or maybe a bias, but I definitely wanted to puke when I saw bloodiness. The Ribeye was salted well, and had good flavor even the day after as leftovers, but I had to reheat it much longer than I thought to just get it to medium-well. This ribeye is iffy, but I would try it again, asking for medium-well. It comes with 2 side dishes as well, which were appreciated. (Roasted Shishito peppers, and some kind of mushroom dish possibly Setas - Roasted Oyster Mushrooms, Migas, Jerez Vinegar $12)Dessert - Left - Churro (crispy, fresh, long, sugary) Right - Soy, Nutty, Red Wine reduction ( looks like a flan honestly. She didn't have a name for this just told us ingredients that red thing was disgusting but the flan part was cold but good)Have ordered over and over again:- Patatas Bravas - Crispy Potatoes, Spicy Tomato Sauce, Manchego, Saffron Aioli, Fresnos $10 (consistently great) every time I eat it, it's always a "wow" for the first bite when I revisit.Would never order again:- Gambas al Ajillo - Shrimp, Chili Pepper, Lemon, Migas $16 Shrimp is essentially boiled and parsley is thrown over this. There's boiled lemon/shrimpy/ watery juice. I really wish they told us that this had parsley in it, because I detest, absolutely loathe parsley. The shrimp should be crispy and just in a sauce, this would make it so much better. Have given this dish 2 tries since I love, love shrimp, but will refuse to get it ever again.- Crispy Pork Belly - Plum, Turnip, Baby Mustard $14 Just gross tasting. Me and my friend agreed it was bad choice.Parking? Difficult, come early to find street metered parking.Food? Overall consistent, good. VERY EXPENSIVE for a small portions. Consistently spent $120 or more, with this recent time being $220ish.Waiter/Waitress? 7/10 knowledgeable, but sometimes the waiters/waitresses are forgetful, or ignore water completely for a while, even after we ask.Bathroom?Clean, neat, small sink.Would I come here again? Yes, hesitantly, and I have brought several people here as well to give them business. I just wish the dishes gave more for the price.
This was one of my favorite Philly dining experiences. I went for restaurant week for the first time, and I most certainly will be back. The service was incredible; our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable. Their sherry menu is extensive and my waiter took me on a lovely tasting journey. Every single dish was phenomenal. So flavorful and unique. It’s hard to choose a favorite, but I would say the squid ink rice with calamari and the cod fritters were my top. I cannot wait to be back.
Some of the best tapas I’ve eaten outside of Spain.
We had a great experience! The atmosphere was perfect for a date night at the tail end of our travels. The service was exemplary. The food was amazing. We had wine and cocktails, charcuterie and tapas, dessert and sherry. Everything was delicious and attractively presented. Worth every penny!
