  I went there for restaurant week and there were 5 courses. I sat at the bar and the staff was nice but not overbearing, offered help if I had questions, etc. As I hadn't been there before, I needed help choosing dishes, and the bartender/waiter was more than helpful and patient. The decor and ambiance was lively and fun. Great experience, fun and flavorful dishes. I got the mushroom soup, chicken croquettes, garlic shrimp, salmon with stewed veggies, and pan with chocolate (photo included). All were good, and the chicken croquettes made me realize I've been missing out on this amazing dish for my entire life! Garlic shrimp is apparently their most popular dish, and it was fun and served nicely. The pan (bread) with chocolate was an interesting dish with fun combinations. The bread was toasted and slightly caramelized and sweet, the chocolate ice cream was coated in cocoa so slightly bitter, and the other ice cream balanced it with sweetness. Would definitely go again! Thanks.

  José Andrés is never a bad person to support. This restaurant is my absolute favorite. It’s a little pricey, but the service is wonderful, the food superb, and the drinks phenomenal.
