At first glance the restaurant looked promising. Nice interior design, but the tables are small and so crammed together that you can potentially knock someone's plate off their table on your way to the bathroom if you're not careful. You have to walk sideways to get to the bar.
The bathroom is very, very dark, which is supposed to be edgy, I guess, but it feels more like it's dark to hide the dirt.
The drinks were artsy and I was told that they were delicious by the people I was dining with.
We ordered the medium size charcuterie board, and at $34 it was a huge disappointment. It looked like the prosciutto was just dumped in a pile. The sausage looked like summer sausage and had no flavor. They included the end of the sausage which I found careless. The cheeses were a bunch of cubes of Brie and some other hard cheese piled up on the side. The olives were swimming in oil as if they were just spooned out of a jar. Some of the bread pieces were burned.
We also had the duck confit pasta which was truly tasteless.
The charred octopus was good but pricey for what you actually get on the plate. (Tapas are small plates, I know, but this was insulting).
The bone marrow was good and I really enjoyed it. Expect to pay around $50 per person when dining here. These small plates add up quickly. This is not the place to go to satisfy your hunger.
The staff was very friendly but we were put off by a couple of, what seemed like owners of the restaurant, who were clearly tipsy, walking around, periodically sitting and then standing at their tables swirling around their wine glasses and walking in and out to smoke. In a large restaurant this wouldn't have been noticeable, but in a tiny place like this it's a distraction.
I realize that this restaurant isn't in Spain, but I expected more from a place calling itself a tapas restaurant.
This was a one-and-done for us.
