I was excited to try this restaurant as I heard that it was pretty good.
The atmosphere is dimly lit and smelled like rank seafood upon entry. They were quite busy. There was a time limit on our table and we didn't end up ordering dessert or coffee because we were almost out of time.
The food was pretty mediocre and somewhat overpriced for the serving size at this Spanish tapas restaurant. The dishes were Spanish- and Latin American-inspired, the server said.
The wine was ok but somewhat hyped up. Based on my wine experience I'd probably never buy a Spanish wine at the LCBO. There was a pretty extensive wine list featuring wines from Spain. The waiter seemed to think highly of the tempranillo we ordered but I was somewhat disappointed. It wasn't bad but it wasn't that good either.
Beef brisket left much to be desired. The beet salad was totally a joke (4 slices of beet, covered in chopped parsley or some other tasteless green). Squid was pretty good. Corn tamal had very cute presentation but was super small once you broke into it and tasted bland. I'm sure we had a few other dishes but they left such an impression that I can't remember what they were!
The server spoke explicitly to my dining companion, facing him only. Maybe he thought I didn't want to hear the answers to any of the questions we asked. Well, I didn't hear much as it's hard to hear someone when they somewhat have their back to you. I found this somewhat rude.
All dishes were bland and lacked flavour. Underwhelming and expensive.
I wouldn't come back and I can't recommend it. There are much better restaurants out there at that price point. I wouldn't go back of my own volition.
