| - Came here on a Friday night, and almost all the tables were packed with couples. Which is understandable, given the pretty/chic ambience and attentive service, it's a pretty ideal date spot. Especially unexpected in Markham/Richmond Hill; though the prices reflect the exclusivity of the venue (ie: you'd be paying the same prices for tapas in downtown Toronto).
Arguably, the food is pretty good though. Had the jamon wrapped dates (not my favourite, but a favourite of my mom & bro), foie gras pate pintxos, double bone marrow and the Mariscos/seafood paella.
My pick for the night would probably be the foie pate pintxos, a creamy and generous dollop of pate on two small slices of baguette toast.
I'd say skippable was the double bone marrow. Though tasty, it's not a lot of marrow once you've scraped it out of the two luge bones.
The paella was fragrant and brought out the seafood flavours without fishy tastes, but I think I could've opted for a more basic paella without missing too much.
A couple tips:
- The apps will come out almost immediately; if you plan on getting paella I recommend putting in the order first, then go through the menu again at your leisure and order the apps & pintxos. Otherwise you'll have a pretty large gap between the courses
- One paella will feed about 3 adults (if you also add 1-2 small plates per person)
