| - Went here for my birthday last night after hearing from my boss that it was a great place. My grandpa (was has a walker) was with us and we advised them when we made our reservation. They went the extra mile and called us up prior to arriving to let us know that there were 3 steps at the entrance.
It was relatively quiet (admittedly on a Sunday) but because it's such a cozy restaurant, it didn't feel like it. I loved the décor (it's a heritage building so a lot of the historic features were there including the brickwork).
We ordered the following: octopus, sea bream ceviche, gazpacho soup (feature item), hot soup of the day, gazpacho interrupted, escalivada, patatas bravas, pork shoulder, beef tenderloin and chicken sewers on couscous (feature item). Everyone loved everything we got and we had a variety of eaters from seniors to vegetarians.
The standout items in my opinion were the gazpacho interrupted (which is essentially a tomato salad with an amazing light dressing), the escalivda (nice mix of veggies with a great sauce that has a bit of a kick) and the pork shoulder (very moist and perfectly cooked pork which was topped off with a eclectic mix of veggies that paired really well).
Last but not least, we tried their Sangria. We played it safe and ordered the Rojo (Merlot vino, Torres brandy, peach liqueur, strawberry syrup, red wine oranges, brandy strawberries). The Sangria is made fresh, which gives them wiggle room to customize it to our tastes (we didn't want it to be too sweet. The best Sangria is usually one that's been 'marinating' for a few days however this one was one of the best I've had in the city.
