replying to u/Other-Beginning-8888: They also have a shadey billing app called blackbird that charges you an additional fee for the extraodinary privilege of paying your bill. We were not allowed to pay with our credit card without blackbird. The food is fine but if you're going to charge me a fee just to pay, you're fine food is no longer worth it to me. Never going back. There's too many other tapas places that are exceptional.
