After reading a couple of the reviews above, I had my trepidations about this place and had wanted to bail out from dinner! But I went with an open mind anyway and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. Perhaps they cleaned up their act since The place was packed to the brim when we arrived for the 7-9 pm dinner sitting so we were lucky to have booked a table. There were a combination of high tables, sitdown tables and seats by two bar counters in a modern black/white setting. Alth
The place was packed to the brim when we arrived for the 7-9 pm dinner sitting so we were lucky to have booked a table. There were a combination of high tables, sitdown tables and seats by two bar counters in a modern black/white setting. Although it was so crowded, it didn't feel noisy or claustrophobic, probably due to the high ceilings of the place.
My friend and I ordered 5 dishes to share, the exact names of which I don't remember due to my abject lack of Spanish vocabulary! Anyhows, there was a whole squid stuffed with some spicy chilli-like stuffing, a tortilla with chorizo, lentil salad and a baked? cod fish in what tasted like a light and clear tomato sauce and the churros with chocolate mousse.
The squid was juicy, savoury and spicy, definitely fresh - a must order! The tortilla was scrumptious even when it got cold towards the end of our meal. The skin of the cod fish was crispy while the flesh was smooth and flavoursome. The sauce was great with the complimentary bread strips provided with our meal. Even the lentil salad was pretty good - and I'm not a salad person. The churros went fantastically well with the chocolate mousse, although it was sugar overload.
My friend ordered wine with her meal (which came with a complimentary slice of tortilla) and I had their sangria (there were five types to choose from and I chose the first from the drinks menu; again, can't remember what it was called). Again, it was all very good.
After we were evacuated from our dinner table at 9 pm, we moved off to the bar table for one more drink and the churros. The bar was next to the open concept kitchen, so we had the pleasure of viewing all the beautiful dishes that were churned out. Everything looked fantastic and we made mental notes of what to try next time.
All in all, it was a great meal and I am looking forward to going back again.
