  • I think this was my favorite restaurant in Toronto. We loved it. We settled into the bar area, just us initially although the rest of the space was bustling. The high vaulted ceilings give the place a dramatic feel as do the oversized renaissance-esque paintings looming over the bar in the background. It's a cool, dimly lit space. My husband ordered the Barrel aged wise guy - rum based cocktail, pre mixed. It smelled smokey and the run was fragrant but not overly syrupy. He next opted for the manhattan. He was happy. Nothing earth shattering but good. I had a White sangria which was mild and lightly flavorful. It had diced apples and a few small pieces of strawberry. Not super sweet as many American versions are. I wasn't in love with it so I ordered a red sangria instead for my next beverage. Overall in Toronto, I found the wine seriously lacking which is why I ditched my standard pour to try the sangria. Again with the red it was very mild, not incredibly sweet and the taste of the wine was minimal. It was just OK. Better than the white but not stellar. I think I was missing more of the fruit flavors typically accompanying sangria. After the sangria the bartender offered me a sampling of a Tempranillo for $15 Canadian that'd caught my eye. Par for the course it was young & almost tart. I passed but this was a common experience with every wine I ordered in Toronto so I don't hold it against them. The interior is Beautiful and set back from the main strip. A kind, attentive female bartender who seemed interested in her cocktail crafting took care of us and the entire restaurant. She was a busy woman but handled it well. I loved their menu & wish we'd eaten here instead. The menu was heavy with Spanish tapas listings to include many dishes featuring manchego cheese. We ordered the bacon wrapped dates and they were exquisite. Everything you'd imagine from the name. The sweet, warm texture of the date complimented by the crisp bacon and warm, creamy manchego. The salty, pork flavor from the bacon paired perfectly with the sweet flesh of the date. To top it off it was drizzled in authentic maple syrup. Part appetizer, part dessert. All parts phenomenal. I seriously enjoyed them so much I thought about ordering a second helping. I didn't & instead ordered the almonds which were a small portion given the price and were underwhelming. I'd skip those and probably get the olives next time.
