| - This cozy and intimate restaurant serves delicious, beautiful and refined tapas but somehow left me not totally satisfied over my dining experience. You see, no matter how good the food was (and it was), what stood out the most for me was how slow the service was.
On average, we waited 20-30min between services. And when I say service, I mean teeny-weeny plates called pintxos. First a little clarification is needed: as the name implies, this restaurant serves pintxos, not tapas. As I have learned the hard ways, it's not quite the same: pintxos are bitesize tapas, so roughly half the size of normal tapas, if not smaller.
In total, we spent a good 3 hours at the restaurant on a Wednesday night, restaurant not completely full. We could have ordered more but we didn't want to stay that much longer.
Amongst the dishes that stood out: Yellow beet tartare with smoked salmon and feta cheese, Foie gras torchon with onion confit, Seared scallop on chorizo tapenade, grilled octopus and duck breast with risotto.
Overall, we had a very good meal but I can't say I will be back.
