| - S/o brought us here for date night recently - it was my first time trying a Spanish restaurant! We made a reservation for the Sunday night, but the place turned out to be pretty quiet (more people did trickle in as the night went on however) so probably didn't even need a reso for 2. The restaurant is quite spacious! There's an upstairs too, presumably for larger parties? Beautiful interior design, though I would say it's more "business-y" than romantic... There's a sterile, proper feeling about the place?
It is quite difficult to find edible things on the menu here as a vegan btw, and even as a vegetarian it becomes a bit limiting since everything has a dash of land or sea animals :P We asked our server for vegetarian recommendations and we ended up ordering
1) Quesos board (3 cheeses + jam + woodfired sourdough bread): My favorite was the goat milk cheese because I love stinky, pungent foods lol. My partner, a big cheese lover, found the cheeses here too strong, which is actually good news for sharp cheese lovers out there as there's guaranteed lots of flavor! The bread was a bit too toasted imo, too crunchy, but I loved the smoky, salted flavor. The bread was probably my favorite part of this dish ahaha.
2) Ensalada de Pera: We asked for the blue cheese on the side, which was not recommended as the cheese as I can imagine usually gives this salad a creamier texture and certainly a huge flavor boost. The salad came looking like simple lettuce leaves with nuts sprinkled on top, and essentially that's what it was and tasted like, so maybe next time that $16 we'll spend on another vegetarian hot side.
3) Coliflor Con Ajo Blanco: It was between this side, the cauliflower, and the chickpeas for us (both sides are vegetarian). We made the right choice - can't go wrong with roasted cauliflower, but more importantly it was the sauce, omg the sauce... It was so aromatic!
4) Paella de la Huerta: We ordered the small size to share and it was pretty reasonable. No leftovers though! This paella is completely vegetarian. I've never had paella before, so can't really comment too much, but I thought it was a bit too salty, but well-seasoned. I didn't really like the battered artichoke crisps on top. I love artichoke, but not battered and fried like that.
The portions of everything were on the smaller end, so don't expect to leave satiated with just one dish per person. Dishes here are more or less tapas style, so come with a few people and order a bunch of dishes to share and try a bit of everything.
Oh yes, it is also quite $$$... Yikes. Special occasions only!
