It's like being transported to San Sebastian.
Even on a Monday night at 9pm there's a wait. The wait is worth it.
It's a pintxo place so it's all about the small dishes. We ordered about five dishes which was enough for two of us. We loved almost everything we had. The chorizo was awesome, as was the tower of mushrooms. The kitchen bread (sourdough bread topped with something creamy, roasted red peppers and anchovies) was not our thing but if you're into all of those things you'll probably like it. The steak was cooked to perfection and the shishito peppers were so good. The real winner of the night was the Basque cheesecake. Not too sweet, just fluffy and amazing.
The staff and sommelier were super knowledgeable, helpful and welcoming. As was the doorman. I mean if someones gotta tell you you have to wait to get it on a Monday night it might it might as well be that guy.
Any downside to the place was not the restaurant's fault. There was the obligatory dude who thought he was special and jumped the line causing everyone else to have to wait just a little bit longer. Ugh.. there's no place like home, right?
