I wasn't expecting too much from a tapas restaurant without an Spanish chef but i was surprised with the quality and flavor of the food. Not a great selection of wines or main dishes, only tapas but they were well executed and presented. The roof top with the sofas and tables is a nice option if you want to have some talk after dinner. Price, over average, but still affordable

I love the decor of this restaurant, very creative! Lego blocks and color pencils! It's kids friendly too, there's a table for kids full of Lego blocks. Big outdoor and indoor areas. Ok price. Serves alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Food is generally very good but portions are so small. Paella for 4 people is more like for 2 people. I didn't enjoy the patatas bravas, got white (mayonnaise?) sauce on the top and not spicy at all (I don't see any red sauce, I was told that it's inside the potatoes?), looks more like alioli.
Cute presentations (e.g., gazpacho in glass tubes)

The place is super cozy and since it is on the roof top, you can see the view of Jakarta from here. The foods are delicious and the drink are fresh. One nice hidden place in Jakarta.

Thought that this unique Spanish tapas bar set in the rooftop of one of jakarta's skyline - however service slow at best , wine bottles were out of stock , and waiters not attentive towards table. Ordered some by the glass and tasting was not offered, a poor quality freixenet, which they didn't want to take back - tapas selection good and tasty . Good atmosphere, could improve tremendously on service and tapas selection

I could not order or let alone having easy conversation asking how to order as I was confused by menu options and selections. Had owner was not there to help explaining all details, I could perhaps walked out. Tapas is alright, but mini burger was the best among the rest we ordered.
