We went here because of tik-tok... yeah, VERY overrated. There's not a lot of parking so you will have to park in the lot next door. When we walked in, it wasn't very busy, which was cool, and mood was real low-key. However, there was this group of 4 people at the bar that were being extra and loud. Our server was really nice and patient as we looked at the menu. I'll say this... the drinks were the only thing I really liked.
We ordered the brussel sprouts and lamb chops as our starters. Little did I know that the tapas menu would be the only thing I order from! We went to try the lobster pappardelle and was disappointed to learn that they ran out. Keep in mind, they had only been open an hour for dinner, and we got there at 7 .
The lamb chops were tender and flavorful, and the brussel sprouts were good with the balsamic glaze. They came with dried cranberries, which offered a tangy flavor to the dish. Next, I ordered the patatas bravas and gambas al ajillo...yeah...all trash! The potatoes looked like a pile of mush, and they tasted old. It gave me the vibe of overcooked potatoes that were reheated. The shrimp were meh... but it did come with French bread. The bread was soft, which is the ONLY good thing I can say about it. It tasted like air... no flavor whatsoever. Supposedly, they wanted you to dip it in the sauce, but nah... that didn't help.
All in all, I'm not impressed, and I feel like I would only go back for the drinks. I was excited to see
they had empanadas until I read the ingredients. My one suggestion is this... make sure you have enough of the one dish people are coming 30 minutes into town on hand... you literally ran out within an hour of being open for dinner!
