It was an excellent experience. I had never been before and liked it alot. With a lot of people so there was a variety to share and taste. It was all good and there was enough choice for picky people to choose. I would reccomend to many of my friends.
I loved the atmosphere. Ambiance is quite friendly. Tables are close together, but still private. Lighting was good but still bright. Food was absolutely delicious. I would recoment this restaurant for either a romantic dinner or a small group of friends. One of the best kept secrets of Ottawa.
Funny, small place. Feels like you're walking into a bathroom at first. Hick, older, attentive wait staff. And then great food. Large large tapas clearly cooked with love and care. Quirky place, highly recommend.
Excellent atmosphere, warm and inviting. Excellent attentive service. Food is perfect. So many choices of tapas, all with great flavour. We always bring out of town guests and they always love it. Will always come back for more!
Food is served in appetizer-size portions, an excellent way to share dishes and try many different things. The food is delicious - it tastes great and you have an impression that they take great care and pride in preparing and serving it. I've tried 7-8 different things so far, and I will be definitely going back, soon. The atmosphere is cozy and the place is very clean overall. I usually find a fault with a restaurant (I am a bit picky), but not with this place. Top marks.

Laurie Jones’s neighbourhood institution introduced Spanish tapas to Ottawa when it opened in an old brick house in 2003. It still serves tapas and pinchos at a marble-topped bar seating 10 — big with the middle-aged, after-work crowd — or in a dining room that seats another 20. The stained glass windows and terracotta walls seem the right setting for such treats as marinated olives, beef-stuffed piquillo peppers and shrimp with chorizo and peppers. Two or three full-entree daily specials are offered. A list of a dozen wines by the glass is, naturally, heavy on Spanish labels.
