| - Loved it! Would definitely go back.
This place is a great date spot, gathering for friends or somewhere to show off to your out of town friend (in my case:).
Service- 4/5 Very friendly and knowledgeable enough. Service getting drinks and the bill were a tad slow, but the food came out at a reasonable pace.
Food- 5/5 Ordered the daily special Rabbit Rilletes (cold rabbit spread topped with a light apple butter) on crostini, haddock ceviche, octopus and chorizo, lentil, beet and goat's cheese salad. Everything was delicious- The rilletes were something we've never tried before and were blown away with the flavour, the ceviche was delish and definitely a re-order and the salad was the perfect complement to the other rich dishes. I'd have to say that I didn't love the octopus/chorizo combination. The octopus lacked flavour and was an interesting texture combination with the chorizo (almost too similar). They did manage to cook the octopus properly (which is rare)... it was just the lack of flavour that was a personal miss for me.
The drink menu offered spanish cocktails (including pisco sour), sangria, wine and beer, all at standard prices. We went with the margaritas and were pleased.
Atmosphere & Location - 5/5 Like I said, it's a great spot to bring a date, group of friends or an out of towner. Location is right in Kensington Market- very accessible by transit or by foot. Everyone seemed to be having a great time. Setting was dim enough to feel intimate but lively enough to let out some laughs and be comfortable. The decor is Spanish inspired with an industrial, hip flare.
Overall- 5/5 I've already recommended this place to all of my friends. We had an amazing tasting of four different dishes and a drink each and it ran us $67 with tax- can't quite beat it. I haven't found the perfect blend of atmosphere, food quality, authenticity and price until now. Check it out:)
