    Wonderful ambience, great service, and excellent tapas dishes. Highly recommend! We had the croquettes, Brussels sprouts, farmers market salad, empanada with braised pork (!!!), and pulpo (octopus- hubby ate, not me). Nothing disappointed.

    We came here pretty late on a weekend, we were on a hunt for a nice dessert. We were definitely pleasantly surprised by their selection. So glad we got to try the Leche Flan and CC cookies, both were heavenly! Nice outdoor ambience, we sat by the fireplace and it was def the perfect conclusion to our date night Staff was gracious and pleasant. It's already bookmarked!

    We returned for our 25th anniversary (we were here the first time for our 13th anniversary and I will say that it is still amazing as ever. We opted to attend during happy hour. They offer a nice happy hour from 4:30-6:00 daily. There were a couple of items that we had on our first visit that are no longer on the menu, but that is ok everything we did have was amazing. The brussel sprouts are a must-have, crispy with just a hint of char. We could have eaten a couple of bowls of them. Jamon Serrano Y Manchego is a nice variety of bites to pair together. Mejillones Y Alemjas is a nice combination of seafood and cooked perfectly. Westholme Wagyu Bavette had to be some of the most tender meat we have ever had. It was perfection on a plate. Our server Jessie had not been working at the restaurant very long but she was amazing. She made sure to answer all our questions, that we had everything we needed and to check on us regularly. She did not even mind that we ordered one thing at a time to enjoy each of them before ordering another. We will be back the next time we are in town.

    Spent the weekend in Carmel/Monterey and stumbled on this cute Peruvian restaurant. Our hostess was super friendly and turnaround with food was quick. My faves were Brussels sprouts Scallops Pork belly Octopus Mussels with clams Unfortunately the Paella did not meet my expectations leaving it at mediocre. Totally would recommend this spot for date night.
