| - What's up with the poor reviews?
Okay, the owner did hover quite a bit, but come on. This place just opened and it's his baby. Cut the guy some slack.
A new tapas place in the midst of Urbana... kind of random, but the food was really good and the wine selection? Amazing.
My friend and I were seated in a cozy corner booth of the restaurant, facing away from everyone else which provided for a much more romantic, secluded ambiance (or maybe they just wanted to keep us hidden from the other patrons?).
Our waitress, although still very green, was trying her best to provide us with a good dining experience, so kudos to her (I think he name was Elizabeth?).
Tapas! Bacon. Wrapped. Scallops. Do it. They serve the scallops with the yummiest butter sauce. Mmmmm.... I wanted to lick the plate, but decided not to for sophistication's sake, haha.
The cheese plate was good (plato queso), but the chorizo tortilla... mehh... it was more or less a small sausage and mushroom omelette with salsa on the side... nothing special.
You can dress up or down for this venue, although I would suggest a little nicer than just jeans and a tee, and V. Picasso got very crowded partway through our meal, so I suggest a reservation if you plan on dining here over the weekend.
V. Picasso is just a nice taste of the city, in the midst of rural Urbana.
