  • As you wander down King Street- you might miss the decorative scroll work that is the entrance way to Patria- a wonderful restaurant tucked away behind another building that serves authentic Spanish Tapas in a contemporary, thoughtful environment. It is here that no detail goes unnoticed . . .from the interesting wall art that frames the wall by the stairs, to the marble bar to the copper accents and even the narrow restrooms with beautiful appointments- this place is a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach. And it is almost like two restaurants for there is an energy and noise level inside the restaurant that is totally opposite from the serenity that you might find with a table on the patio. We sat outside and had just a wonderful time. Our server, Leticia and the manager, David, went out of their way to make sure that everything was just perfect on this visit . . . .and it was. We started with some of their sangria as well as drinks off their specialty cocktail menu. We were very happy with Leticia's suggestion of a full bodied wine as we were less familiar with the Spanish choices on the menu . . .so much so that we drank two bottles of it! The food is tapas and meant for sharing so leave the quantity of how much to order to your servers as they will not steer you wrong. We ordered what sounded like a lot of food- but it ended up being just perfect. So on to the food- know that if you want one of the three paella's- they do take 45 minutes to prepare so be sure to order it with your other choices. We started with the Pan Con Tomate with ham which was really good. Next up the bacon wrapped dates and the croquettes with manchango cheese . . . also quite good. One of the specials on the day we were here was the grilled Spanish octopus which was probably my favorite served over a crispy slice of potato. And then the Paella arrived. We went with the meat version (there is also a veggie and a seafood version) but all three sounded amazing. The Paella de carne mixta came with duck, pork rib and chorizo and was rich and decadent. The rice absorbs the flavors of the meats along with the tomatoes and creates a richness that you can taste the second it goes in your mouth. As for dessert- we tried some of the more odd sounding choices although the chocolate pudding with sea salt is purported to be their best seller. Thinking we could get that most places- we chose to go with the fried milk and saffron ice cream (kind of like a deep fried flan) which I really liked although my dining companions didn't like the texture. Our other choice was a combination of coffee ice cream with black olive marmalade (who comes up with these combinations?) served between slices of a nut wafer. Certainly one of the most interesting flavor combinations I have had in a while. A wonderful evening with friends was made even more special with great service, outstanding food and an ambiance that had you second guessing where you were . .the streets of Barcelona, perhaps? All in all a great choice for a great night out!
