| - Came here with my wife for our third anniversary, and it was a great dinner. The waitress (didn't get her name, but I believe she's the owner) was personable, warm, and very genuine.
We decided on the tapas menu, so we could try more dishes and were not disappointed. Had the roasted beet salad, fried calamari, braised octopus, braised chorizo, sauteed green fava beans, and the citrus cheesecake and coconut cakes for dessert. All were fantastic, but would probably recommend the octopus and fava beans most from what we tried because they were the most unique. But again, all dishes were great.
The waitress gushed that the coconut cake was her mother's childhood recipe, which was a nice personal touch. Had an espresso (long) with the dessert, and it was very nice.
The decor is pretty cool. The kitchen is open with full view of the chefs. A testament to the resto's willingness to bare it all. There's some really neat, colourful, and ornate mosaic type tile work on one wall, with an oversized single picture on the opposite wall. Small and quaint space adds to the whole warm and personal feel of the restaurant.
Would highly recommend this place for a nice night out with friends or as a couple. Perhaps not with young kids, as the space is small, and one might feel too concerned about bothering the other patrons, rather than enjoying their own meal.
Overall, a fantastic experience. Will definitely be back again to try more of the extensive tapas menu. We're also excited to try their paella which we just didn't have the stomach space for.
Thanks for a great night out, Scorpion!
