| - We arrived at 5:00 pm on a Saturday to a packed bar. We were lucky to snag a spot with stools as a few people were leaving. The bar is mostly standing room, with a few stools here and there. I think the set up is different, and makes sense from the restaurant's point of view to make sure there is a good client turnover. Just be warned that wearing heels is probably not the best idea! I absolutely adore the aesthetic of the bar, finished largely in wood. It is quaint and romantic - perfect for a date night.
We weren't overly hungry, so we started with some cocktails. I first tried the Tinto Fino ($13), with Tio Pepe Fino (dry sherry). I really enjoyed this drink because it was quite sour and tangy. For those looking for a sweet drink, this isn't the one for you My husband tried Into the Sun ($15), and it was okay. It didn't have a lot of flavour for a craft cocktail. My husband then tried the Palm Springs Pawn Shop ($15), which he enjoyed more. We decided to have a few snacks and ordered Octopus ($14.25) and Croquetas ($8). The Croquetas were filled with cheese and ham, and were rich and delicious (although not served piping hot). The Octopus was quite good and was served with two pieces of bread. Not the best I ever had, but was decent.
Overall, I would return for the cocktails and great atmosphere, but I think that the food is a bit overpriced.
