The bottomless option is only a $10 add-on (to the $35 food option, don't get too excited), and there's never a wait for the next Sangria pitcher. Hope you like the Sangria, though, because they're oddly prickly about switching to the other bottomless choices.

Food

4.58

The brunch menu is limited -- four tapas and three entree choices, respectively -- and not particularly brunchy, but that fortunately limits the odds you'll make a mistake and not get the paella.

Service

2.17

Our server handled a bee situation with aplomb and considerable bug spray, but also had little hesitation shifting us toward a few hefty add-ons (we love a good Manchego, but $10 is a tad ridiculous).

Ambiance

1.48

It's considerably higher-end than our usual fare -- red velvet carpeting abounds -- resulting in an atmosphere perhaps better suited to a nice dinner.

Nero might be a lovely wine bar, with self-dispensing wine machines that certainly piqued our interest, but we wonder if they forgot they're also a restaurant.

We're like the postmen. We brunch in rain, sleet, or snow
