    Sat outside later afternoon-very nice environment. Music on outside speaker wasn't too loud to talk and as the sun went down the temperature was fine. I believe our server was John, and he was absolutely great. He was patient, friendly, and explained everything on the menu we had questions about. We had red sangria (on ice, huge glasses) and many of the happy hour menu items as well as the regular tapas menu. There were too many to note but the flaming cheese (saganaki?) was a standout. Also, the greeting as we arrived (the hostess) and the friendly food runners were top notch, kind and genuine as well. This was our first time based on a co-worker recommendation and we will definitely be back and will tell our friends :)
