I came here a couple of weeks ago to celebrate a friend's birthday. I really enjoyed my first visit at this new uptown Spanish tapas restaurant located in Markham where go4tea used to be! There is a pretty good selection of hot and cold tapas and pintxos to choose from, but in the end we decided to try the grilled octopus, double roasted bone marrow, paella de mariscos; and shared a pitcher of the original sangria.
It was my first time trying this stuff but I must say, the bone marrow was very delicious. It was served with 3 slices of toast and was overall very flavourful, buttery, and probably one of my highlights of the night. Octopus was quite flavourful and chewy as well. The overall presentation of the paella was quite great and quite tasty with decent amounts of seafood. The portions are okay for sharing. Rice had a pretty good al dente texture. For dessert I tried the creme catalana. The creme catalana was not my favourite as the custard was little too liquidy and the lemon zest flavour was a little too strong. I have heard great things about the Spanish toast though which was also recommended by the waitor so will try it next time :)
Overall the ambience was awesome with a great vibe. It is very spacious with comfortable seating areas, dimly lit with brick walls, good music and nice decor. (Would be cool if it had Gaudi vibe too). The waiters were very helpful and friendly and surprised my friend with a birthday cake on the house!
Overall I really enjoyed my experience here and would definitely come back
