"We used to love this Spanish Tapas restaurant. Eat outside right on the Scottsdale Riverfront. Completely inattentive and lack of service last night. One of two inattentive waiters came over, tried to upsell us on the prix fixe dinner and the half off $340 bottle of wine. Usually, aioli and rolls arrive shortly. We had to ask the waiter twice. Then he brings just the aioli. Finally, the rolls arrive, after the tapas arrive. I notice that everyone eating outside like us had NO rolls on the table, while everyone inside had bread baskets on their table. Weird. Ordered the $44 pitcher of sangria...but where's the fruit in the sangria? One tiny piece of apple and orange? And the complete lack of alcohol was disappointing. Tasted more like a white wine spritzer without the wine. Order three tapas and a platter of paella. The tapas were so so, and pretty much just dumped on the table. No explanation of what was what. The seafood paella was underwhelming. I've had better before at other tapas restaurants. Overall, the bill was $138 and I hardly felt there was enough value there. I know food is expensive, but the menu items are priced over the top now. We eat here semi-regularly, and every year we eat here prior to Scottsdazzle. But we're rethinking our annual tradition and we'll find a new restaurant to dine at next year. Sorry....you lost a customer now."

"We have eaten here several times over the years. This was our first time eating here with our child. Usually it 's the type of place we go for a date night or other special occasion (Valentine 's, anniversary, birthday). However, I read in the local online paper that they were having a special 5 course brunch for mother 's day, so I thought it would be nice to go as a family. We specifically requested a high chair in our reservations. When we arrived there was a high chair at our table, but it was taken away and given to another family before we could sit down. Apparently they only have one high chair in the restaurant. Luckily our son is almost two, so we were able to make it work. But another couple with a much younger baby came in while we were eating and I felt bad for them. They were finally able to get the high chair from the first couple after they left. The high chair thing wasn 't that big a deal. It 's not really a family restaurant, and we knew that when we made the reservations. The most disappointing part though was the food. There was no special brunch menu, and we paid almost $100 (w/gratuity) for my husband and I to eat (no alcohol involved as I 'm currently pregnant) two small salads, an order of fries, a sandwich, and 4 scallops with a butternut squash puree (he had a soda, I had a cup of coffee, and our son had OJ). I do love this restaurant, but I was a little let down by their mother 's day brunch. I don 't believe we 'll be going back for brunch or with our child again. We 'll just stick with date nights and other special occasions."
