"We introduced 4 friends to Estéban and everyone thought the evening was pleasant and delicious. We enjoyed patio seating which was perfectly comfortable with the overhead heaters. The Brussels sprouts and empanadas were a hit with all. Seafood paella was thoroughly enjoyed by 4 of us, and the Marguerite flat bread was a huge success for the entire table"
