“This flamenco show was truly spectacular. I did the VIP experience with my 13 year old daughter so we had a glass of champagne with the owner (non-alcoholic for my daughter which she loved) and learned about the famous flamenco dancer, Carmen, that inspired the restaurant. We also got to see the area where Carmen performed for the King of Spain and had an amazing stage side table. The food was delicious, too! I highly recommend this flamenco show with dinner even if you don’t do the VIP experience.”
