Fascinating Restaurant
After a long day of walking and touring the city local from Madrid (well technically he is from Asturia, Spain) recommended this place. First, the décor of the restaurant is quite innovative. Upon arriving, the place looks a bit like a modern museum; there are table/booths that are inside huge barrels. I visited this restaurant with a group of people from Northern Spain, and no one really had any complaints about the food. We all really loved the croquettas, the tortilla asturiana, and the fabada astruiana. Most of the dishes were selected by our astriuian friend, who had visited this restaurant a couple of times in the past. While viewing other people's reviews of the restaurant, I was quite surprised that many folks thought the food was not great. Perhaps, the restaurant has a new head chef and changed up its menu.
The prices for the dishes were pretty average for someone who lives in NYC. Most of the main dishes are around 10 - 12 Euros. Also, the plates are served with quite a bit of food so a few people can share a main dish. In addition to the reasonable prices, I thought the service was top notch.
