I'm not sure if I'd give this place 4 stars or 3 stars. I really wish we could do 1/2 stars.
Went here for DINNER last night with some friends.
Ambiance:
low lighting, dark woods, modern feel, one big open room with tables plus outdoor patio seating which looked like it would be a great way to go in the Fall and Spring... they had cool (I thought they were cool) paper-like, scrunched lanterns hanging from the ceiling
Menu:
2-page menu.... 1-page for drinks and 1-page for food
What's cool is that they keep it simple but it's not a far reaching menu like some other tapas places I've been to... and if you're vegetarian this is NOT the place for you... I think there were 2 items on the menu that did not have meat or were meat based
Downside: (and this is why I'd give them 3 stars) they were out of a number of items
- out of all but 2 wines
- out of 2 of the 8 beers
- out of the short rib tacos and some other dish that I can't remember
Taste:
Excellent... everything we ordered was very tasty and well executed with a flair for presentation.
Note: the portions are not super big.... so each plate is good for 2 people... we often ordered multiples.
Enjoyed the Tuna Ceviche... Chicken Empanadas (now these were on the big side).... Chicken Tacos... Fish Tacos... Crispy Shrimp
Dessert:
WOW! If you like bread pudding... or even if you are just mildly interested.... try their Banana Bread Pudding.... YUM! It doesn't look like much when it comes out... but then you take a bite. Oh MY! :)
We also ordered the Churros which were more like Cinnamon twists.. nevertheless... very good as well and I dipped the churros in the sauce the BBP came in... oh Yea!
Service:
Our waiter was cool.... super busy as it seemed like he was only 1 of 2 guys taking care of all the tables and it was a pretty busy night... almost all the tables were filled plus a big party of 10
The hostess was ... I guess... I'd say indifferent... she wasn't mean but she wasn't friendly either so....
Drinks:
I ordered the raspberry mojito... and to me ... it was way too sweet... I personally think it needed more rum and less sugarcane but that's me. Plus they muddled the heck out of it so that there weren't pieces of fruit swimming around as I had expected... I like the chunks of fruit in my muddled mojito... I know... I'm strange.
The white sangria however was FABULOUS... it too was sweet but in a different way. I know... that doesn't make sense... so let's just say this drink would be perfect for sitting by the pool .... refreshing and delightful.
All in all... we'll go back... it's different from the norm and I want to try their Red Sangria.
