Tapagria is a beautiful restaurant with plenty of seating. The seating and atmosphere are comfortable, the decorations are rustic, I would have said western if it wasn't a Tapas restaurant, so I'll say rustic Spanish.
We ordered a pitcher of Lychee Sangria made with white wine and it was delicious, very fruity due to the Lychee and not too sweet. I would order that again, anytime, and would be perfect in the summer!
We ordered the following dishes and enjoyed the share plate/family style dining.
- Pan con tomate - Well-made tomatoes on crunchy toasts
- Smoked eggplant - Nicely made and smooth
- Salmon pâté - light and creamy
- Sardine & tomato - served on toast and very tasty with a light tomato sauce
- Duck confit - very flavorful, served on toast
- Kale cauliflower salad - Very nice dressing with kale and perfectly cooked cauliflower
- Jamón wrapped dates - Excellent, these were the hero of the table, we ordered a second helping. They are a mixture of salt and sweet, dates wrapped in crunchy ham, mmm.
- Spanish meatballs - Delicious, perfect texture, nice tomato based sauce wth a bit of cheese
- Grilled calamari - Cooked perfectly, but not properly seasoned. The light dusting of dry chili rub was missing salt, the bland chili was a bit bitter.
- Aged cheese board - nicely presented with 4 types of cheeses, chutney, frozen grapes olives crunchy toasted French (possibly Spanish) bread. Very small serving size.
I think I will come back and try a different part of the menu.
