With its chic interior and delightful alfresco seating, this restaurant effortlessly marries authenticity with charm, projecting a vibrant Spanish ambiance in the heart of the city. The menu offers an impressive array of traditional tapas, albeit with modern twists, such as squid ink risotto and stuffed artichoke flowers drizzled with honey. For seafood enthusiasts, the octopus and squid dishes, though occasionally contentious regarding portion size, are crafted with expertise. Cocktails here deserve particular mention, supplementing the diverse selection of sangrias and complementing the Mediterranean flavors of well-seasoned chorizo and perfectly balanced croquettes. Service is generally quick and attentive, although there may be room for improvement during peak hours. Ultimately, while it presents exceptional taste, patrons should note the premium pricing reflective of its vibrant atmosphere and quality offerings.
