Solera

The Incredible History of Travail Kitchen and Amusements | Eater Twin Cities

"Revived as a nostalgic, Spanish-dominated pop-up during Travail’s Hennepin Avenue residencies, Solera returned its much-missed hits — from boquerones, octopus bites, and jamón to paella and crispy croquettes — and recreated the downtown theatricality that made it a fixture in the 2000s under James Beard Award–winning chef Tim McKee. I found the Solera residency delightfully bombastic: tapas and a tasting menu that involves diners (marching through the dining room, plucking Serrano ham from a crystal chandelier, and witnessing a custom rolling paella service) and a menu that leans on beloved Spanish classics." - Eater Staff
