| - GUSH GUSH GUSH I LOVE THIS PLACE.
The atmosphere: Art Deco paintings hang in a red and black theme with a flamenco/latin flair. Also has an outdoor patio out front.
The people: Locals, "alternative" scene, and performers/show people late night.
The food: Tapas, obviously. Many different things to choose from. My last visit was with an old friend with a... limited palate, (let's say meat and potatoes kind of person), and it even worked with him. Even if you're the type who's like, "Uh, sauce reductions? Tartar?? Gimme a steak!" this place WILL work.
My particular favorites are the tuna tartar (just ask for additional crackers as they give you too few usually), crispy duck wonton, the ceviche, and the roasted eggplant cannelloni stuffed with goat cheese.
A note about their calamari: There's a mountain of it, so be prepared.
The service is pretty prompt, the lighting is atmospheric, and the DRINKS: Heck yeah. Best Sangria in Vegas. The Sangria served there is prepared a day or two in advance and the taste is fruity and well-rounded without tasting overly sweetened or artificial. They come in red, white, and sparkling. A pitcher is more than two drinks for two people, btw, so be prepared.
Also spazz-worthy are the infused mojitos, which includes my favorite, dragonfruit.
Open late and has something for everyone. For a snack or for a fun, romantic evening, it's an excellent choice.
