Yo! Dragged myself into this place thinking I'd not enjoy it - we don't eat red meat and walked into a steakhouse. It was soooooo good.
First the restaurant was super cool and butcher shop chic. The servers were helpful and attentive.
We ordered a bit of everything, checkout with commentary:
- Caracoles - generous portion cooked in its on broth with 45 spices. The flavor was incredible and the texture was perfect. I'll take these over France any day of the week.
- Almejas - soo good white wine and garlic and 30-40 clams. Cooked to perfection, broth you could slurp with a spoon (or shell, like my kid).
- Pulpo - flavor was outstanding! Pulpo is one of our favorite dishes, so we're a little picky - but this one was a bit chewy and hard/crunchy for our taste.
- Tartare de Atún, Mango y aguacate - in the states we have table side guacamole, here we had table side tuna tartare. This might have been one of the best tartare I've ever experienced. So delicious.
- Bacalao Vizcaina - Cod cooked in slightly (just slightly) spicy red sauce. Great dish, but honestly, I'd probably try something else next time instead of go back to the well on this one.
- Crema de puré trufado - the afterthought of the meal became one of the main attractions. What an insanely good mash - generous truffle flavors made this a table favorite.
Overall, excellent dining experience, well worth every penny.
Note to our fellow pescatarians - they have a very generous seafood menu, don't hesitate to come here!
My wife and I were just reflecting that we could come back for the snails and a drink and be totally fine!
