  • Expectations influence experience. Fair or unfair it is true. When you watch an Oscar nominated film you expect better than when you watch a Razzie. Your filter changes. So when you eagerly visit a restaurant of one of your favorite cuisines by a chef from one of your favorite restaurants (Cure) with the buzz of being the hottest opening in a foodie town your expectations are high. Atmosphere: The restaurant is beautiful. Woodwork throughout represents incredible craftsmanship and looks very authentic to a typical upscale Spanish Tapas restaurant. The Jamon hangs from the ceiling above a traditional tapas counter top display that makes you feel like you are on the Iberian peninsula. Where this goes wrong is the playlist. Perhaps i am being too literal but while a glass of chianti or scotch with Frank Sinatra is a great night on most occasions this is not what I look for with Spanish inspiration. Flamenco, spanish guitar or other traditional music would better fit the bill. Service: Very good, prompt, knowledgeable and attentive Drinks: Cocktails were very nice - specifically the Gin and Tonics. The red sangria was better than the white. Food: The important stuff. Again to me Spanish cuisine is borderline perfection. Tradition and ingredients trump creativity. We can run through the Great, good and meh but overall if you live by the belief that octopus, chorizo and croquetas are some of the best things on earth you will be disappointed with the overuse/abuse of aioli and the lack of traditionalism. Highlights: Bacalao en Aceite, Matrimonio, Pimientos de Padrones (no need for the aioli), Jamon croqueta Underwhelming dishes: Pulpo - admittedly this is a sacred dish for me and it was overpowered by sauce vs. standing on the flavor of the octopus Beef Tartare Montadito - nothing special Abuse of Aioli!!! I like Aioli its delicious but no need to include in every dish. Tapas should stand on the flavor and quality of the lead item and not the sauce. Additionally, Tapas mean you are eating many and the reliance on this one ingredient lead to a blend of flavors. We went hoping for a 5. We ended at a 3. We will be back but expected more and hope Morcilla can find its way to living up to the hype.
