Hungry and new to town, we stumbled into this restaurant to have a bite. We had heard they were…read moreknown for their tapas and thought it would be nice to share and try multiple items. The servers were very nice, but the food didn't really live up to the description.
Tomato soup was very acidic and thin tasting.
Stuffed chicken soup. I'm not sure if something got lost in translation. But it was just normal chicken soup. Nothing bad, nothing mind-blowing.
We got one of the first shrimp appetizer items, and the description made me think I would get something garlicky and deep with amazing spices. The dill encorporated and tiny little shrimp instead of something substantial and succulent threw me off.
The pork medallion tappa was hearty and also had mushrooms. The cream sauce had a lovely flavor. The pork could be more tender.
Goat cheese hoeny empananda tapa, had a nice flakey crust and also walnuts inside.
Stuffed pumpkin mushrooms were ok, but over the concept didn't really come together.
Breadplate- two aoilies were a bit excessive. The garlic one could have used even more garlic, and the pesto would have been nice as a straight pesto. The tomato mix was very nice, and the olives were a fine compliment.
Smoked salmon tapas were ok , texture was a bit odd as a whole.
Overall, it was middle of the road. I've had better variations of this type of food elsewhere. The decor was lovely and the people were nice. Considering tapas are small, it takes a while to get any food items on the table. If you sit inside to avoid the smokers on the patio, it does get very hot towards the back since the kitchen is open to the dining room.
