| - This breaks my heart. I loved Jug N Barrel that sat in this location, so I had high hopes for Sabor. There isn't a tapas joint in this hood and I was looking forward to having a old haunt open back up, even if it was a completely new business.
Unfortunately, Sabor thinks WAY too highly of itself. I know it's on the cusp of the Arrowhead area, but the prices in Sabor would make you think you were somewhere much more exclusive. Not that I would have been bothered by that had the food not been so boring. The portions were barely enough for one person and this is supposed to be a tapas bar. You're supposed to share. No problem, pick several items on the menu and you'll be fine. Just be prepared to be in the $50+ (much likely more) range without purchasing drinks. The real issue is that food was so bland that I couldn't swallow a bite without shaking my head in disgust. The spanish rice that came with our filet was flavorless. The filet being the most expensive item on the tapas menu was mediocre but again, served in small portions.
The wine menu is acceptable but you're not going to find any deals or anything that you couldn't drink at a dozen other restaurants nearby. In all fairness, I haven't tried any of their sangria. If I can swallow my pride and return to Sabor, I'll have to rectify that.
Our server was very nice if a bit too sales oriented. Granted, we were 1 of 2 tables in service that afternoon, so I'm thinking Sabor won't be around too much longer.
Knock the prices down 30%, spice up the menu and it might have a chance.
