Clockwise: Cold cuts and cheese selection; Pan Con Tomate; Fried Egg with slow cook chorizo; Patatas Bravas; Crispy Fish Tempura; Mackerel SaladFor starter, it was sharing style. Not much surprises for the starters, nevertheless all dishes were well seasoned. Being Asian, I like sharing plates cause I get to try a lot more. I had better tapas elsewhere. Not much I could comment on the cheese platter. Pan Con tomate was essentially tomato on toast, perhaps it wasn't served immediately, it was slightly soggy. The yolk for the fried egg was still runny which was good dipping. I liked how the egg was not seasoned as the chorizo was salty enough. Patatas Bravas was deep fried potatoes. They were not crispy at all, even with the sauce on top, they tasted bland. Crispy Fish Tempura on the other hand was indeed crispy and the chili dipping sauce that came with it gave a good hit of heat. Mackerel Salad was just an ordinary salad, good to have some veggies tho.
Surf and Turf Paella
Charcoal Grilled US Rib EyeFor main, we had Surf and Turf Paella and Charcoal Grilled US Rib Eye. The paella was not the typical saffron rice. It came in a plate pan and the server helped us to portion it all straight away. I would prefer it being left on the pan so that we could slowly work our way through to the crispy rice. The chicken was tender but overall, slightly over salted.
I enjoyed the Rib Eye a lot. Char-grilled gave it a nice smokey crust and added in loads of flavour The inside was still pink and juicy. The beef is good enough on its own and I didn't even use the sauce.
Parfait Glace with coffee cream and Liquid BombonAs for dessert, we had Parfait Glace with coffee cream and Liquid Bombons. Although the the Parfait was made out of pure coffee, it was light and not too sweet. The bombons was nice not overly exciting.
Decor
DecorI enjoyed the ambiance. Came on a normal weekday, it wasn't crowded but full enough to give a slight buzz. Overall, for the price we paid, it was good. I couldn't mind coming back but definitely not my first choice for Spanish food.
