The Rooftop

The rooftop patio offers Flatiron views and prime Pearl Street positioning. Tables are coveted on summer evenings—book ahead or prepare to wait. Worth it for the atmosphere alone.

The Food

Tapas-style sharing plates with Mediterranean influences. Patatas bravas, lamb meatballs, paella, and grilled octopus are favorites. Order several plates and share—it's how the menu is designed.

The Drinks

The sangria is famous. The cocktail program is solid and creative. Happy hour offers excellent value on drinks and select tapas.

Pro Tip: For rooftop seating, reserve several days ahead in summer. Happy hour (3-6pm weekdays) is the move for value. The downstairs bar area takes walk-ins and has a lively scene.
