We wound up with nine plates between the two of us, including dessert, with only one of them qualifying as merely "good" instead of "exceptional." And I'd go back tomorrow and try another nine.
Definitely a place to go with friends...try one of everything but especially the sea bass (my favorite, it comes with 6 cockles), the artichokes and the duck confit. It will make you dream of the place for days after dining there.
Rustic decor and intimate ambience. Love the wine cellar look and minimalist approach. Service was mediocre and unknowledgeable on the food. It appears she was new there, so I will cut her some slack. Food presentation was beautiful and obviously well thought out. Flavor and taste of food was great. They clearly used the best of ingredients, especially the meats and cheeses. Loved the wine list, showing off the under appreciated and bargain wine of Spain. Was a bit pricy for what little food you got. All in all, was the best, most authentic tapas restaurant I ever been to.
A-
Great place, great wine list of spanish wines, helpful staff, great decor. Cheese plate to start a must.
