The restaurant concept is unique because it explores tapas and paella beyond tradition and through a modern, urban lens. The food is influenced by many cultures and artistic expressions while embracing the bounty of California's land and sea produce to curate a unique dining experience for the vast ethnic palate of Los Angeles.
The restaurant believes that innovation and creativity do not stop at the kitchen but spread through the dining room, creating a holistic approach to service and the guest’s experience. The team philosophy and mission statement are deeply rooted in delivering a dining experience unlike any other in the city.
The wine list has strong Spanish representation from well-known heavyweights of the region to small, lesser-known up-and-comers, and boutique producers. The restaurant also offers recognizable Spanish beers on draft, small batch craft beers, and a variety of vermouth options to enjoy before or after a meal.
The chef's unique perspective on Spanish cuisine integrates creative use of technique and ingredients rooted in Californian sensibility, seasonality, and aesthetic. With strong roots in the organic food industry, the chef also has a sense of stewardship towards the environment and sustainable business practices.
The chef was inspired by a trip to Europe where she explored the many dialects of paella in the Catalan region of Spain. The intermingling of the Old and New World played out over a rich canvas of cuisine, art, and culture, leading to the idea for the restaurant as an opportunity to further express her devotion to the genre and create something new for the food city of Los Angeles.
