You can always count on there being a line up (30-40 min wait) Thurs - Sat but I have always been able to grab an empty table in the bar area after waiting 5-10 min. If that doesn't work they have another restaurant on the... more

This is far and away one of my favorite restaurants in the country and I've traveled quite a bit domestically. If you're into tapas, you'll love it.

My wife and I live in Chicago and based on the positive ratings from Tripadvisor I was excited to try this place out.
