"The quintessential food for sharing, tapas forms the core of the menu at this Iberian Peninsula-styled haunt in Union Station. Ultreia’s gorgeously moody decor serves as the ideal backdrop for such lusty stuff as croquetas de jamón, patatas bravas with octopus, Moorish spiced ribs with Basque chiles, and churros with chocolate ganache and salted caramel (paired, of course, with glasses of Sherry or “gin tonics,” as the Spanish call them). Too wrapped up in one another to focus on the menu? Just order the Chef’s Feast, an omakase-style repast that, at $90 for two, is a bargain as well as an adventure." - Ruth Tobias
