| - This place is seriously good. Came here for my mom's birthday and were welcomed by pleasant and comfortable decor. We were seated at a table by the window which was great.
The wine menu is extensive (appropriately so for tapas) and the server seemed to have a decent knowledge of it - luckily we knew we wanted the alvarinho immediately.
I ordered the manchego to start as it is my favorite cheese. $3 won't get you a lot but about what you would expect from a restaurant for the price. Additionally, we ordered the Wild Hen of the Woods (mushrooms, SarVecchio frico, Dijon vinaigrette, egg yolk), Charred Honeycrisp Apples (speck ham, sherry, Manchego, watercress, hickory nut), Albondigas (meatballs with saffron, tomato, Marcona almonds), Rainbow Trout Grenobloise (delicata squash, ground cherries, cider, brown butter), Roasted chicken with green sauce, and olive rosemary bread. All was very good - though small even by tapas standards - but the one that stood out most to me was the trout and the apples. They were to die for. For dessert, we ordered Creme Catalana (a less viscous creme brûlée) and two drinking chocolates.
Overall, this place was delicious but not true tapas. Of course I get that Tory Miller put his spin on Spanish small plates but if you are looking for traditional tapas...don't expect it from here. I also wish that the portions were slightly larger or the prices slightly lower. Almost a perfect 5.
