I had a decent meal here. Not the best tapas I have ever had, but decent. I had 2 solid martinis though :)
It's typical tapas fare in a trendy space. Nothing more or less to say.

Two words: Small portions
I ate here again last night with my girlfriend and her best friend.
I must admit, I didn't pay last time I went here (and actually, I didn't pay this time... but since the GF paid, I was more apt to look at the price).
What we got:
Started off with martinis again. They continue to be good. The bar gets a check. Ordered a bottle of wine later. it was decent.
First course: Make your own antipasto and a goat cheese mushroom flat bread. The flat bread was actually pretty good. The antipasto was 1) Small 2) the meats lacked a lot of flavor 3) the roasted peppers were bland and tasted sauteed rather than roasted. Avoid this unless you get a lot of cheeses. And - the course was tiny. two pieces of cheese and 3 slices of each meat. booooo.
Next round: $6.50 empanadas. There were two small ones. If there were 2 inches wide I would be amazed. Rip-off. Ham croquettes. They were OK. Beef something (I forget the actual name). They were grilled chunks of meat on a stick. olive oil/salt/pepper. Not a very good cut of meat and they were over cooked and tough to eat. And we got the tuna. It was $14 for two pieces of seared tuna. It was probably about 2 inches by 1 inch by 1 inch. it was insulting that it cost $14. Are they kidding me?
Finally, dessert. We got churros. They were slightly over cooked and a little heavy handed on the cinnamon sugar, but when you shake off the excess, they weren't too bad. I would get that again if I go there again.
Will I go back? I probably will not go on my own dime. There is just no value there. I would rather drop the same amount of money somewhere else and get a meal that I really enjoy. Sorry if this sounds harsh, but I felt like a rube walking out for paying that much for so little and such low quality.
