  • Had a so so experience here. The good: portions are generous for tapas style, and prices are reasonable. The ham croquetas (3 per order) were nice and crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. Very little ham, mostly a (tasty) bechamel sauce filled the little balls. But still our favorite of the night. The bad: service is very scattered, the owner welcomed us and explained the menu (a good thing), but was a little too forceful in insisting we try certain dishes. We don't like beets, but he insisted we must have the beet salad, and that he would bring us a small free side dish of the salad we really wanted to get (which never came), but we must have the beets. So we got the beets lol. In his defense, it was pretty good, but again, we don't really like the texture or taste of that veg and we ended up leaving almost half uneaten and picking out the yummy goat cheese. The ultimate vibe I got from this place is that it has a bit of an identity crisis. The calamari dish we ordered had a sweet Thai chili sauce. Why??? The calamari was ok, not super crispy like I prefer, and probably would have garnered a 4/5 from me if it had a good sauce, but this way, 3/5 at most. The short rib poutine was probably my least favorite, 2/5 because 1)the fries were soft, lame, and unseasoned, and 2) again, with the "inventive" mixing of different cuisines, had kimchi mixed into the pulled short rib and gooey cheese (the last twp ingredients being good on their own). Why why why? We also had the pil pil shrimp, which were 8 small shrimp in a garlic sauce. It was good but not great, and this one really deserve some crusty bread to sop up all the garlic sauce. There is also a scotch egg dish listed on the menu in a nod to the chef's background, which also seemed out of place to me. Lastly, we had the raved about cauliflower with truffle oil. My dining partner liked it, I felt it was nothing special, not seasoned or fried enough. A few tweaks could have made this a good dish. Cocktails should also be avoided here. They are affordable but really light on alcohol. Your best bet is a bottle or glass of wine. The pours are generous on those. I can see this place being popular for a date night, since it's fun to share a bunch of dishes and it's affordable and has a liquor license. With that said, something was too off for me to want to go back, and the identity crisis rubbed me the wrong way.
