They were great! He recommended the clams. Said they were the best thing in season then. We ordered the clams and the squid (because I didn't like clams). But when I saw them come out and smelled the clams. I had to try them! And they were one of the best things in the world I have ever tasted! I cannot get over how good they were. I want to go back to Spain just for the clams if I could! We will go back eventually. All Spanish food I've had while in Spain was fantastic and the house red wines! The squid I had ordered was also very good. I nice firm texture with a fresh taste.

First of all, the staff and owner are all super lovely and kind.The owner spoke excellent English and helped us with the menu selection and explained the food components. I loved the whimsy of the menu with its musical odes to singers and song writers spanning rock, country and opera. The artwork on the walls matches the vibrancy and artistry of the menu plus they played great background music, so all combined into a feast of the senses. We started of with lovely Morrocan Mint tea, which tasted super and then I went for the Tasting Menu which included innovative dishes such as Elvis's Hips (a Tapas Winner for 2014), Pavarotti's Vigor (Lamb and Couscous) and they were kind enough to substitute a Salad instead of Janis Joplin's Strength which had beef which I don't eat. I thought the flavours of the food were sublime and loved every bite. So end verdict? Super happy that we were able to visit Vintage 8 as art, music, food and hospitality combine to create a wonderful culinary experience and I highly recommend his restaurant. Yelp Review 100/ 2017

Wow. Just wow. Prior…read moreto our visit here, we thought tapas (in the cities we visited in Spain) was relatively the same: here, there, and everywhere. Ham this. Chorizo that. Anchovy the other. Surely our purview was limited, but the evidence was overwhelming: Most restaurants' idea of tapas seemed largely one-dimensional and, thus, to us, unappetizing and uninteresting. Enter Calendula, which was recommended to us by the owner of Boomerang (a great little bar a stone's throw from Calendula) and, voila, we were back on the tapas wagon. Yes, this restaurant includes many of the "I've seen that elsewhere" options, but it makes each dish its very own. The starter was a mini-plate of simosas that we proceed to order eight more of. We had chicken strips, a bit o' fish, some veggie things...I can't really remember the specifics, but I do remember scarfing everything in sight. My partner shared my enthusiasm and we cleaned every plate. Granted, these are tapas (so the portions are relatively small), but you can order larger plates if you so desire. It's also important to know that the menu is relatively limited, but it's in no way lacking. If two uber-picky eaters like us can find and enjoy numerous dishes, surely so can you! The setting is relatively sparse (we at outside), but we visited around 9:30PM and the evening, the lighting, and the surrounds (not to mention the food!) were perfectly charming. BOTTOM LINE: This is a relatively new tapas restaurant that takes an inventive approach to the tapas it creates. We thought everything was delicious and you likely will as well! I highly recommend it.
