Run, don't walk over! Or for that matter, you can uber/drive/lightrail here! Amazing food, affordable drinks, and super cool ambiance at this much anticipated restaurant by Bmore favs. Everyone here's had experience in the food industry, so they've got things right. Pinxtos are delightful, especially the anchovies and jamon croquettes. The veal marrow, magret and lamb shoulder were also great and very flavorful. What made my dinner was the duck confit! I salivate just thinking about this, and every time I now see a duck by the harbor this is all I can think about. CONFIT IN MA MOUTH! Desserts were delicious, and we had three out of all four of them, but to be honest I don't even remember them because all I remember is the duck confit. Only improvement would be for them to serve toasted or warm bread with the pinxtos and tapas. Bread is baked in house, but was cold when we got them. Mebbe with some olive oil? Love this new addition to a booming Bmore! Thanks for all your hard work, and we will definitely be back. read more

I was so excited to take my food home for my family members, but the waiter failed to bag my food and it was ultimately thrown away. For the cost of this restaurant, one would expect food to be bagged appropriately. read more

We arrived on time for a 8:30 reservation. First major issue: our table was not ready until almost 9:00. No big deal; we had drinks at the bar. The ginger cocktail was great and champagne is always nice. Once we were seated, the bread course arrived. It was AMAZEBALLS. Bread is so personal: when it's made by hand with the right ingredients by a master baker, it will be incredible. It certainly was. Hats off. Second major issue: our waiter told us that three of our top dishes we wanted to try were 86'd (out of stock). This included the shrimp on the plancha, rockfish ceviche, and rockfish entree. Brutal. The chefs and owners here all come from major restaurants like Foreman-Wolf. They should know better. Sommelier was excellent and recommend us a great wine I would never have tried. He stayed within price range and was personable. Great job. Third major issue: our waiter did not ask if this was our first time here, explain the restaurant concept, tell us about any specials, etc. He just came up to the table and asked if we were ready to order. Luckily we were hungry. Pintxos were expensive but tasty. The egg pintxo was delicious; salty, crispy, savory. The mushroom veloute was true to its name but needed salt. The charcuterie was great. Jamon and olives hit the spot. Salmon tartare was delicious: fatty, smooth, with just the right hint of spice. Great. Entrees were solid but lacked attention to detail. The skin on the trout was soggy and kind of gross. The NY strip steak was cooked to temp and seasoned well, but lacked a good sear and the fat was not nearly rendered. Also, the steak came with spaghetti spiral potatoes that were beautiful on the plate but completely impractical to eat. I left 3/4 of them on the plate because I didn't know how to eat them. Dessert was coffee sorbet and it hit the spot, especially with the crispy espresso beans. All in all, it was a good restaurant but lacked the finesse and attention to detail that you would expect at such a high price point. We paid $180 including tip for two people. Ouch. Good luck to this place and I hope they work out the kinks. read more

What a great new place! First, the space is amazing! Second, the service was great. Ezra was very knowledgable about the menu and wine pairings and offered great suggestions. Third, the food! I loved the idea of the pintxos, two-three bite appetizers. We tried the chèvre mousse montadido and the jamon croquettes. Both were great and left us wanting more! The tapas were much larger than we expected. We had the calamari and potatoes brava. Both were good, but huge portions for tapas. For dinner, we had the scallops and bronzini. The scallops were wonderful and my friend loved her fish. Of course we had to try dessert. I had the basque gateau with pumpernickel ice cream just because i needed to try pumpernickel ice cream. Surprisingly, it was great. The cake was amazing and the ice cream was an interesting flavor and they paired well together! read more

Of all the places I visited in Baltimore, this was my favorite. This place reminds me of Anthropologie with a bar in the center. Such a cool vibe and apparently , it's an old mill. This would make a great date spot. I went with my coworker and we both loved it. I only had coffee and dessert but both were solid. Next time I'm in town I will plan to go back and try the food. Just go here and check it out for yourself! read more

Best overall dining experience we had during a recent Baltimore stay. Food is more Basque-influenced than true Basque cuisine, but excellent none-the-less. This is the kind of place that excels in all dimensions and is perfect for every occasion, from a quick drink & appetizer to a multi-hour, multi-course business or romantic dinner. This place oozes elegance, but in a casual, approachable way. We limited our consumption to appetizers / first-course small plates and wines by the glass. Food selections were all quite solid, but nothing exceptional save for some of the cheeses and the grilled branzino -- not to be missed if it's on the menu. Wines available by the glass were all outstanding, one of the best, if not the best overall wines-by-glass list we've seen anywhere. And La Cuchara gets huge bonus points for using the correct stemware for each varietal to maximize the taste experience -- including even the wines by the glass! Visited late on a Tuesday evening -- place was mostly empty -- so perhaps the super quick and attentive service was not typical, but it was orchestrated with ease, so would not be surprised if it's almost as good during busier times. Our waiter Ethan was extremely patient reviewing the menu and wine list with us. His food and especially Spanish wine knowledge reflected his time living in Spain -- really added positively to the overall experience. His descriptions and recommendations were 100% on-point and brilliant. Also adding to the experience was the ambiance -- tastefully rustic motif with banquette seating on one side of the table and club chairs on the other, along with just the right amount of light and noise... quite comfortable to have a conversation but not so quiet that you feel like you're in a museum. Someone clearly put some thought into the design and aesthetics -- further transforming our very good light dinner into a five-star overall experience. read more

Overall, it was a great experience. It was our first time here and we were able to get reservations for 8:15. The bar was full when we arrived, but looked like the place to be. It is simple and elegant inside We sat down and ordered the pinxtos manchego and onions along with zucchini and pork. We liked the manchego and pork. Our main courses were the flat iron steak and bronzini. Now the steak was good. The side item of chard was bland and not flavorful. The bronzini was so good that my boyfriend who never orders fish out went back for three extra bites of mine. We also ordered sides of olives and green beans. Having been to numerous other high end restaurants, we like this place a lot. We like it better than Salt and Cinghaile. We think it is a 4.5 stars, but we decided upon a 4 as opposed to a 5. If we went back we would definitely order the bronzini, olives, and green beans again. The pinxtos and tapas did not interest us as much. The desserts the chocolate bombe, churros, and cherry ice cream. They substituted the chocolate ice cream on my dessert for the popcorn brown butter ice cream. Overall, I would give it 4.5 stars, but since that is not an option I would round up. read more

An excellent restaurant! When we arrived and were shown to our table, we told the server about our need to have gluten free and vegetarian food. Our server immediately began to mark up the menu as to which items we could eat, which was very helpful. At first, the food available for us seemed limited, but soon our server returned with recommendations from the chef as to how he could modify certain dishes for us. I was able to get a cauliflower dish which was supposed to have rockfish, but without the fish. It was amazing! The presentation was beautiful and the dish tasted even better! Our server continually checked on us to make sure everything was going well. My favorite dish was the fingerling potatoes which were crispy and drizzled in aioli, but everything we ordered was great. For dessert, they even put a candle with my sorbet since it was my birthday! I would definitely return in the future. read more

Had a great meal there tonight, and the staff was super friendly and accommodating. Jamon croquettes were delicious, morel pasta was tasty, and the ribeye was juicy and charred just right. Churros and chocolate were a great finish! Thanks for a great dinner! read more

I highly recommend La Cuchara for a special occasion or to catch up with a friend. My friend and I spend about 2 and a half hours enjoying a very nice dinner over multiple dishes. I highly recommend the veal tongue as a pintxo, a one to two bite dish. I did not care for the calamari as it had a slightly fishy taste. We next had a meat and cheese plate which was a very generous portion for the order. For our primero, we had the bluefish tuna that melted in your mouth and had a nice smokey flavor. I started with the violette rain to drink, a tequila drink that made me happy I wasn't driving. I switched to a delicious red wine, the Jumilla, that was a great match for dinner. We ended up splitting an entree, the special for the evening, which was a nice cut of steak with an amazing black garlic butter and fingerling potatoes. They should make it a permanent fixture. I finished with the chocolate espresso sorbete which was only a scoop but very rich and delicious. Our server was very knowledgable about the menu and ingredients and was patient with our long meal. One piece of feedback: We had multiple plates and it would've been nice to have new silverware in between dishes. That and be warned that our ubers had a little difficulty finding the place. read more

I've been here more times than I can count, but they never disappoint and always somehow exceed my expectations. From food to drinks to ambience to service, this place is 5 STAR all the way read more

Yes... I do have a 90 day before visiting a new restaurant rule. But, 2015 has turned out to be the year for breaking "rules". I have stopped in a few times since this hot spot, with a Basque inspired cuisine, has opened. The staff is very friendly and they are using this slow, word of mouth opening to work out all the kinks - not that I experienced many. If you sit at the bar, you might not be given the bottle list for wines - but they have a long list of Spanish and French wines that speak to the region and the culinary direction. IMG_3949This may come as a shock, I don't know much about French or Spanish wines - at least not when the menu only has winery and bottle names. The menu is eclectic and worth a serious chat with Sommelier, unless of course you know a great deal of Spanish and French wines. We did - explaining our differing preferences and in seconds, Greg managed to find us a bottle that we both really enjoyed - the 2012 El Pedrosal - it was very structured and had a lot of earthy balance. Their wine list is extensive and has a selection of affordable bottles - totally worth a look, expanding your glass choices, especially if you have a friend to share it with. And, even if you don't; I won't judge. La Cuchara changes the menu quite often; some items change daily. I like the pintxos - bite sized snacks. I was lucky enough to have a chilled golden beet with the raw sharp cheddar. I have also tried the Tortilla Española with Jamon Aioli and one with manchego. I suggest you try a couple of these, and go out of your comfort zone. Order a few things that you might not normally consider trying. Be sure to order per person if there are bites you want. Get a few of the tapas to share. These change so regularly, I don't even see what I have had in the past few weeks on the menu. I have shared the kale salad, although I didn't want too. My favorite so far has been the Patatas Bravas; come on now - it's basically fried potatoes. The potatoes have stayed on the menu each time I have been there. Hopefully they become a staple. They are yummy. I think the seasonings change a little; these had a little spice and some green onions. The tapas size are definitely big enough for a small dinner. I have tried a bunch of things from the wood fired grill. The migas were super tasty - but it is also something I would generally eat at any point of the day. This must have been a breakfast dish in Spain at some point in time - a little bread, and little chorizo, some peppers and onions mixed together with a saucy that has some heat and topped with an egg. Anyone who knows me, knows this will be my favorite. I have also had the tuna nicoise. The tuna was cooked perfectly; so much so it disappeared before I could grab a picture. If you like duck, you should also think about the duck confit. I could probably order this every time, since the preparation seems to be different; it's fun to try all of the things the chefs are trying out. The skin is crispy, but the meat is incredibly tender and flavorful. Mine came with potatoes and some greens. I haven't managed to save enough room for dessert, but I imagine it will be fantastic. read more

The decors is outstanding - fantastic job gentrifying an old mill. The staff is attentive and professional - excellent. The Serrano ham was quite good. The sardines and mini omelet were just ok. Wine selection is vast but pricey. We opted for glass of wine and cava, and the red pour was meager. For main courses, we had the Parisian Gnocchi and Rockfish ... both were out of this world. We'll be back and next time with our own wine (and we'll just pay the corkage fee) read more

We had a family graduation dinner last week. Several in our party are serious foodies. Cannot give the experience enough praise. Staff was great. Food was great. Atmosphere was great. If you find yourself in Baltimore, have a meal here at least once! read more

(1/31/2016) We went to check out La Cuchara for Restaurant Week. Had a large party and were treated very well, had our own attendant, which really helps (hopefully we weren't too much of a pain for them). Place was bustling on a Sunday night, it's one of those rustic chic renovated warehouse spaces at Meadow Mill, open, large, wood and metal, hipster cool. They specialize in Basque cuisine, something just a little different and what's around town currently. I love the small plates concept in general, just because that's the way I like to eat. The wine list is extensive and predominantly Spanish. On Sunday night, it's half-price wine night on any bottle over $100. We had to enlist the services of the sommelier (not regions I was familiar with), got a very nice 2007 Ras Baixas Albarino from Pazo Senorans, light body, faint mineral and sea spray notes, a little citrus finish. We did a little googling and with the half off deal, got close to retail price. Restaurant Week was a steal, could see if you came here otherwise it might get a little pricey. I loved all the bites (pintxos) I ordered, but they rack up fast and they really are just "bites." The ones on toast (from homemade breads, which were very good and creative, BTW), were each a delectable mix of creamy, crunchy, salty, sour. On a charcuterie plate we had some very fine serrano ham and the best headcheese we've ever had, more like country pate (if you think you don't like headcheese). A large chunk of Valdeon blue was earthy, sweet and mild, not too robust or harsh. Platos were very well-executed and used high quality ingredients, well-seasoned. Best of them was the Duck Confit with Parisian Gnocchi. I'm generally not a big fan of gnocchi, but these were the "Parisienne" kind, no potatoes, just pate a choux, super light and fluffy and a great pillow for the tender meat and crispy skin of the salty duck confit. All of the flavors were simple, but bright and their counterparts on the plate chosen well. Desserts were a hit, none too sweet, ever popular, but less complex was the Cinnamon Churro with hot chocolate to dip. Can't go wrong. Chestnut Vacherin was lovely crispy, chewy disks of meringue with chestnut cream creme anglais and a candied chestnut. Nice mix of textures and subtle, nutty flavors. We had a great time, the food and service were wonderful, atmosphere is lively and modern, they made us feel like celebrities for nothing. If you have the expendable income, def visit. read more

Order the lamb (cooked over a real wood fire). Don't take it from me. Take it from my Spanish mother-in-law, whose word is far more valuable than anything I can say: "This tastes like lamb from my pueblo". Enough said on that front. As for me, give me an anchovy pintxo, a real Spanish-style croqueta and shishito peppers standing in admirably for "pimientos de padrón" together with a real, honest-to-God Estrella Galicia beer, and I couldn't be happier. Throw in churros and chocolate to finish it all off and I'm over the Basque moon. La Cuchara is the real deal. The food and drink (Txakolina!) tastes like what you would get in the North of Spain. All of this in a beautiful, spacious setting that easily could pass for a Basque sidrería (missing only the tapped barrels of Basque cider...). read more

Ben is the owner. Besides being a great guy he is an amazing cook. This is the perfect spot for a date (I went alone), but it would have been better if I had a date. read more

Great food at an awesome location It was a little difficult to find La Cuchara but you will see it right when you hop off the light rail. We had all the pintxos and my favorite was the pea sorbet with crispy duck bits on top. I also loved my beet juice cocktail The Bulls Blood and the wine recommended by the sommelier. I ordered the fish special and it was perfectly cooked- crispy skin and all. Can't wait to be back to try the different dishes! read more

If you like an adventurous selection of food and Tapas style presentation this is the place for you. They do have entrees, and everything on the menu sounds amazing. We stuck with the tapas and pintxos (1 to 2 bites). We tried all of the pintxos. They were all amazing. Only one that was hard to swallow was the Chicken Liver Mousse. But I was expected it to be a tough one to eat. It smelled like my Great Pyranees and tasted like it smiled. Could have used some more salt in the mouse. The stuffing in the calamari wasn't the best either but all in all, everything was really cut. Quite the eclectic mix of flavors. The beet purée was our favorite!! We tried the blood sausage and patatas. Both were very good. My family is puerto rica. So blood sausage is excellent when I'm back home and this blood sausage was not as good as they were claiming it to be. Needed more flavor and salt. The onion mix was too oily. The drink menu was good for the wine and cocktail selection. The beer selection was average. Need more variety. When I say variety I mean there should be variety in the breweries not the beer. They had way too many Otter Creek and Union selections. They say they change their menu frequently so that is definitely a plus. I would definitely give this place a try. It's in a great part of town. Right next to the Light Rail (Woodberry Stop). Great looking bar. Great service. Fast service. Little pricey for quality and size. Shouldn't be that expensive. To get a 5, I say drop the prices a dollar or two, add more beer selections, and taste your own food to make sure it's seasoned well. read more

La Cuchara - Yummy olive pintxos! - Basque Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I really loved La Cuchara. The atmosphere is great. There were four of us, and weren't quite sure at first how to tackle the menu, so we asked our server for help. We ended up ordering at least one of all of the pintxos, two tapas and three entrees (we split everything). Everything was fun to try, I liked some things more than others but half the fun was trying new food. The sommelier was also wonderful and recommended the perfect bottle of wine. The location is a little tricky if you've never been to Meadow Mill before, it took us a minute to figure out where the entrance was. I highly recommend and can't wait to go back. read more

This. Was. FANTASTIC. Seriously. Fantastic. I don't often say that, but everything we tried was absolutely fantastic. The sommelier helped us choose the perfect wine. Then the food -- I started with the lamb tenderloin "pintxos" and that was a great start. I moved on to the morcilla (blood red sausage) in a small, cast iron pan with honey crisp apples and onions, and the taste combination was just amazing. (There is a lot of food in there -- good to share for two -- or take home the second sausage, because you will want to save room for dinner.) Then, just then...the duck confit. WOW. Falling off the bone. Juicy, tender, and the beans and sauce...just so flavorful! I took our waitresses recommendations, and was so glad I did. FABULOUS meal from start to finish. read more

I have been really disappointed with restaurants lately so going to La Cuchara has been a breath of fresh air. I went for my birthday in September and last night for a friends birthday. The space is open but still feels cozy and I hope to dine outside once it gets warmer. The service has been really great and the manager, Ryan, really goes out of his way for guests. You can tell he really cares about your dining experience and he is super friendly, stopping by your table to make sure all is well. For me, this restaurant gets high stars because I am vegan and they have always happily accommodated that. I never felt that my diet was a burden on the staff and I have enjoyed all of the fresh veggies prepared for me. My friend felt very special last night and we were given great wine suggestions. The sorbet is great too, please keep the chocolate one around permanently! My only reason for not putting 5 stars is that if you sit near the door the draft is pretty cold during the winter months. We may request to sit in the other dining area next time. However, Ryan being so helpful and thoughtful would easily bump this up to 4 1/2 stars if that were an option. Vegans, you can feel welcome here and the wine list is great! read more

Great happy hour menu, beautiful space, very authentic! Honestly, I love this place. It's my go-to when showing visiting friends the variety that Baltimore has to offer! read more

Great restaurant! Not the easiest to find at night; would be nice to see some signage on union ave. The hostess was great, we were greeted and told to wait at the bar for our table. For a busy Saturday night I was not expecting to be seated right away however we only waited at the bar 15 minutes after our reservation time. Tables are really close together, candlelit and small. Great variety of authentic basque cuisine. We did the anchovy, chorizo baguette, clams in brine to start. My wife had the lamb shoulder which by all means was spectacular, and I had the rockfish which was notably fresh however I was expecting more pop in flavor. Finished with the mango ginger sorbet which was excellent. Service was on point, never had to ask for anything, however at times we did feel a tad rushed. Will be back with a larger party in the spring! read more

Excellent outdoor and quarantine friendly options. The staff take your temperature on arrival, there is a guest code of conduct, and all the servers have masks and gloves. It's easy to relax and enjoy the excellent food and drinks. (From our visit October 2020) read more

As soon as we sat down we were told that we had 90 minutes to eat dinner. If that doesnt put a sour taste in your mouth, i am not sure what does. This was the first date we have been out on in months:( the food was mediocre, certainly does not justify the price tag. The chili peppers were the best thing on the menu. The anchovies are no different from the tinned ones from the grocery store... and the chanterelles were absolutely ruined. read more

A new jewel in Baltimore! The aura is fantastic and very vibrant and welcoming. The restaurant is beautiful and the kitchen is on display for those curious. The staff is very warm and excited to make the experience memorable. Parking is ample. Most importantly, the food is incredible! It's a unique combination of French and Spanish cuisine from the Basque region cooked over wood fire. The $2 pintxos (Boquerones, Mojo Picón, Cilantro, and Jamón Croquette) are absolutely worth it and you should get all of them. They are about two bites of food each. My favorite was the jamon croquette- it was one of my favorite dishes of the evening. They also have $5 Charcuteries y Quesos. Our waiter recommended the Manchego y Membrillo and we were very happy with the dish. Of note, the bread selection is fantastic and it's very easy just to fill up on their delicious selection of house made bread. It's so good but save room because the dishes are so delicious. The patatas bravas are a must. It's a delicious dish that's great to share with the table. The grilled octopus is executed beautifully. It was the perfect texture fir octopus and it is marinaded in a fantastic flavor. The steak tartar was perfect. We really enjoyed this dish. For our main dish we chose the duck confit, which many had recommended. The dish lived up to expectations. One of the best duck dishes I've tasted. The meat just falls off the bones and each bite is ecstasy. I would strongly recommend you try it. It would be sin not to have churros and liquid chocolate while you're here. It's a very fun dish. read more

La Cuchara - Tapas - Basque Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I'd like to begin by saying I love this place. The food, Atmosphere, and the service. I am a native Spaniard and travel back to Spain regularly. I come from a background of world renowned chefs. With that being said, I hadn't been back to la Cuchara since before the pandemic. So I decided to check out the menu online and noticed the great food but also noticed the text stating the 22% service charge on all checks and to see the manager if you would like it to be changed. What is this about? Yes I know cost are up and I know wages are up, however I find this to be a direct insult to us patrons who know great food and service. I tip well above the average service rate. This basically is telling me that yes We are going to charge you more money to cover our cost so our profits don't suffer.This leaves a very bad taste in my mouth that over powers the great taste of your food. One more thing, You ask to talk to the manager to change the service charge? Shouldn't the service charge reflect the service and food and stand on its own? This makes me consider visiting the restaurant. read more

We had heard and read many positive descriptions of La Cuchara, and so we were looking forward to eating there. Indeed, there was much to praise--both the food and the ambiance were excellent. However, our server was horrendous; she was exceptionally rude and hostile. The following are two examples of quite a few negative behaviors that occurred. 1) We asked for more butter, and when it didn't arrive, we reminded her that we still needed butter. She did finally bring it but wordlessly slammed it down on the table. 2) She served my husband his coffee, and when he asked her if my cup of hot water was coming, she replied, "It'll get here when it gets here." We are not extremely demanding customers and are accustomed to being treated as courteously as we act toward others (including this server). We were shocked that this did not happen at a restaurant with such a fine reputation. We will not return. read more

La Cuchara is definitely an experience. It feels like a special occasion place while also being very relaxed, ambience is such that you could really dress up or go low key and feel comfortable either way. Cocktails are special and well prepared, the red and sparkling wine flights are good though expect to have a wall of wine glasses in front of you while you're eating, which is not the best experience. The appetizers and small plates are suburb, the mains are too much, extremely rich, we ended up ordering too much food. The downside of the whole experience was the waitress. She was OK, not too attentive or too unattentive, but she rushed us through ordering our main courses when we were ready, she displayed no patience (and we were a table of six) and was ruder as the night got later. We had an 8:45 reservation, they seated us around 9pm, so were were finishing up at 10:45/11pm (that's not a terribly long time for 6 people). She was complaining about our table to the chef...in plain site of our table. Classy. Management should talk to their staff. read more

Tonight was my first visit and I will definitely be back! Excellent menu with lots of choices, delicious food, great ambience and attentive service. Ordered the mesclun greens with parmesan, mushrooms, scallops and chocolate cake. Everything was delicious and I am excited to return since they change up their menu to accommodate seasonal items. read more

La Cuchara is an absolute contender for best restaurant in Baltimore. All of the food was impressive --from the pintxos (1 - 2 bite tastes) to the entrees. Everything was balanced and flavorful and the sauces (pistachio tximmitxuri, nettle pistou, etc.) were thoughtfully crafted and scrumptious. I particularly recommend the shishito peppers, the lamb entree, and the tarragon black pepper ice cream. BUT! The menu changes daily, so those items might not be there when you go. You really can't go wrong though. Everything we ate was phenomenal. The selection of wines, ciders, and cocktails is vast and of great quality. The staff is so knowledgable and very willing to share that knowledge with customers. Zac was especially helpful and awesome with helping decide on beverages! We chose to sit at the bar, near the open kitchen, rather than at one of the tables. Highly recommended! We got a great view of the kitchen and were able to interact with lots of very friendly staff who really knew their stuff! We are very curious about food and wine, and they were happy to indulge our inquiries. The atmosphere was delightful. The restaurant is very large, but noise was not at all an issue. The lighting is soft and inviting. The interior is rustic, yet clean & modern at the same time. And it doesn't feel forced or fake. This is a great place to celebrate with a full meal or to come for a cocktails and pintxos. We had a fantastic time and will definitely be back! read more

Wonderful!! This was a real treat for us from start to finish. My husband and I went here for a celebratory evening (birthday, anniversary and promotion), and I noted that on the Open Table reservation. They actually took the time to read that, and wished us "congratulations" as we were seated. The wait staff was attentive, the food was unique and delicious, and the atmosphere was really fun/interesting. Everything tasted great, except for one vegetable small plate (I think it was rutabaga) which was too salty for my tastes. The highlights of the night were the complimentary glass of dessert wine in honor of our celebrations and the churros/chocolate dessert. No matter what you order for an entree, you MUST get the churros for dessert. I don't know if we'll go back anytime soon because it was really expensive and a once-in-a-long-while treat, but it was SO worth it!! read more

Was recently here on August 4th, which was part of restaurant week, and I was more than impressed. After reviewing the yelp pictures I have to say they do not do the food justice. We were a group of 7 so we had a sampling all across the menu. My personal entree was the lamb shoulder and it was prepared perfectly. read more

Went there on a Sunday, and it was surprisingly busy, means they are doing something right ;) Menus are printed daily, so I assume their dishes change often, adds a lot of variety if you enjoyed it and want to go again! I had the scallops and they were absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection (I always end up burning them when I try to cook them so the BOH is definitely on their A+ game even when it gets busy). Their wine selection is amazing - don't be surprised if your sherry wine is not served at the same size as the typical wine, that's the way it's served. The hostess was super polite and accommodated my date and I even without having a reservation. Ample parking, very polite servers. We were asked if everything was ok just enough times to make us feel reassured and welcome, and not too many times which can be annoying sometimes. Will definitely be back! read more

Simple happy hour menu . Expert cocktails at a reasonable price . Beautiful surroundings , great service . So what else would you want ?

Most exquisite and delicious place I have been in the area. Anything from the menu, especially lamb, but skate was fabulous too. And of course tapas, you won't be disappointed. And the interior is very inviting-specious and cozy at the same time. read more

Came here for happy hour with my colleagues and while the happy hour prices were amazing (come before 5pm and check out the menu online) and the place is beautiful, I feel like it was a tad to far out of my current comfort zone and one of my friends had to basically translate the menu for me. Perhaps I should research the menu more before coming but really who besides chronic yelpers (like myself ;-) has time for that. Would also like to note that it was a tad tricky to find even with my essential companion, Google Maps, (FYI when you cross over the bridge turn left and circle all the way around the building past the gym). I can certainly see why people enjoy this place and maybe in a few years when I develop a bit more class I'll be more into it too. read more

A wonderful dining experience. Our server, Katie H., was present when we needed her and did a perfect read of our table. She was super knowledgeable about the menu and steered all of us in good directions of what we were looking for. The scallops and branzino were amazing....especially the scallops. I can't wait to go again. read more
