"This summer, a highly anticipated Spanish restaurant from an alumnus of San Francisco’s now-closed, Michelin-starred restaurant Commonwealth opened in the former Beech Street Parlor space, with a menu of Basque standbys like tortilla Española and salt cod croquetas. Last week, Willamette Week critic Andrea Damewood gave Brasa Haya a rave, complimenting 'a perfectly stacked bite of pork belly and squid,' a 'silky and light' tortilla Española, and 'a gorgeous plate of grilled octopus, oh so tender and wrapped like a tendril around a potato mousse so light it’s almost a foam, with grilled escarole, brown butter and crispy bits of fried caper.'" - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
