Came here on a Friday evening around 9:45 P.M. The restaurant is split into two sides, the dining rom and the tapas bar. The dining room requires reservations while the tapas bar does not take any. However, for a weekend evening, there were plenty of seats and we sat around the tapas bar. It was an elegant place with nice and friendly bartenders. I tried the olive oil cured tuna, jamon iberico, crab ceviche, and grilled shrimp. We tried porron pours and cocktails also.
I was a bit disappointed to learn that everything (besides the ceviche) was on a crostini (it is not directly stated on the menu and I feel that the bread overwhelms the rest of the ingredients at times). The bites are delicate and we were glad that we were only stopping in to try a few bites: to rely on these for dinner would require far too many orders. The jamon iberico was delicious, tender and flavorful (but again, on a crostini. We deconstructed it and ate the jamon itself to truly appreciate the flavors). Grilled shrimp was also delicious and the paste it came with was well done. I would personally skip the tuna. It tasted like regular cooked fish and lacked the smoky cured flavor I was hoping for. The crab ceviche was very well done too.
My drink was expertly made and we all found our porron pours (directly from vessel to mouth) to be a fun novelty to try (when out on a Friday night...). Overall, I would say that this s a very pricey place to try out, but the tapas are expertly done. The flavors are apparent and it is worth a try.
