Flavorful, perfect texture, even better than anything I've had in Barcelona 2. Lamb chops 9.5: very flavorful 3. Croquets (9/10): creamy, flavorful 4. Octopus (8.5/10): flavors are subtle, texture is great . Not too heavy 5. Bacalo (salted cod): was never a huge fan of this when I went to Portugal l, but they made it very well here bursting with flavors 6. Bay scallops: great flavors, but felt a bit overcooked . Very chewy 7. Jamon Iberico: personally not a huge fan of cured meats but this is supposed to be top tier of all the cured meats Ambiance: can get quite loud and rowdy since it's also a wine bar

Overall the paella was delicious and chef's kiss as the seafood wasn't dried out and the rice was moist! I am very happy that tue quality of the paella didn't go down hill.

The restrooms were allocated in the joining hotel so it's a bit of a walk. We were not too hungry just looking for a quick snack so we settled on Brussels, top sirloin and calamari to share. The Brussel sprouts were crispy with a tangy dressing topped with dried cranberries and raisins. This dish had a nice balance. There were two-three fairly larger hunkers which we had to cut up but otherwise flavor was nice. Next came the top sirloin cooked to medium with a bed of roasted carrot purée and a salsa sauce. The sirloin was seasoned nicely and cooked to perfection- very tender! By far my favorite dish! The calamari was a bit of a disappointment. It was fried too crispy and lost the calamari taste. We let the server know and he very kindly brought out a churro to apologize- very kind of them! Overall I had a great experience here! The food was great, service was fantastic!

We tried the mixed ceviche (squid, fish, octopus), 1/2 fried chicken with plantains, and 1/2 rotisserie chicken with fried rice. I would highly recommend all three of these dishes. The ceviche was fresh, simple, and very refreshing; it's a small portion and meant to be shared as an appetizer. Both types of chickens were very flavorful and moist. I don't normally like plantains, but the plantains here were perfectly cooked, lightly fried, and sweet. I have been recommending this place to family and friends and can't wait to go back myself. Service: Service was excellent. Staff were so friendly and welcoming. Our water was filled constantly without having to ask them. Multiple staff members came by throughout the meal to ask us if we needed anything. Ambiance: The restaurant is a good size with tables for both small and large groups. The place does get packed during peak meal times. Seating is spacious and comfortable as well. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant!

Once we were seated, the experience completely turned around and service was excellent - attentive and friendly. When I mentioned that I used to come in college, the server seemed very excited. We ordered two lunch specials: fried pork chop and roasted chicken both served with salad and fries and yellow rice, plus tallarin verde with beef. The pork chop was a bit too salty for me, but my friend really enjoyed how crispy it was. The roasted chicken was a standout for me, especially the sauce. My son loved the yellow rice so much he ignored the fries! Overall, there was something for everyone at the table.

We tried a variety of dishes and each one was a hit (from the croquettes to the octopus to the paella). One member of our group doesn't usually like seafood and thought the octopus was delicious!

Of note, the restaurant bar stays open longer than the kitchen so make sure you check in with them on when the kitchen closes (it was around 10 when we went but things were still in flux so that may change!)

I was at this location of this Basque and Spanish restaurant a while ago with a group, with their…read moreoriginal location being in Harlem. The table we sat at was quite large, and I think it could have fit a few more people. The staff was friendly, and the lighting wasn't too dark, nor was it too loud. While I liked the atmosphere, I found the food, or rather specifically the tapas, to be not good at best, while the main dishes were better but also ranged in quality. The fact that the tapas we ordered were pretty closely priced to the mains means I would recommend the mains only based on portion and taste alone. To drink, a bunch of us split a bottle of wine from their large and pretty reasonably priced selection. The first tapas that arrived was something that I could not eat. This was the Pulpo Zarautz for $32, listed as octopus with garlic and merken seasoning served over mashed baby potatoes. The dish was small, and people thought it was OK as they found the pieces of octopus a tad chewy. They liked the spices but were surprised that the potatoes were a bit cool. The $24 Gambas Al Ajillo, with slow-cooked prawns, white wine, EVOO, garlic, and mermen, was alright. There was a handful of shrimp, and they were decently cooked, but the "ajillo," or rather, the garlic, was very light. Therefore, I found it a bit bland, which is almost never the case for this dish. I wouldn't recommend this based on price and flavor. Last and least of the tapas was the $22 Tortilla De Patatas, listed simply as a Spanish omelette. There was an option to add chorizo for $2 more, which we did. Along with the omelette, this also arrived with a few sauces and some pieces of crunchy bread, which were the highlight, as the omelette wasn't good either. The texture of the omelette was very different than any other Spanish omelette I've ever had. It was quite soft with a bit of chew, with a mild chorizo flavor. Along with the greenish color, it wasn't exactly appetizing. I wouldn't recommend this at all, but thankfully, that was the last tapas we ordered. My favorite of the main dishes was the Solomillo & Pebre for $28, listed as skirt steak topped with parsley and olive oil, with hand-cut fried potato and salad. While not the most tender, as it is a skirt steak, it was still well-flavored with the topping almost reminding me, to an extent, of a less oily version of chimichurri. The potatoes had a unique texture, being slightly crispy on the outside while remaining slightly soft in the middle. The salad on the side, which also arrived with one of our other mains, was a tasty mix and certainly more effort than a typical salad you find in many of these places. We also liked the $32 Costillas De Cerdito, with pork ribs in beer, mustard, and rosemary with hand-cut fried potato and salad. The pork ribs were flavorful, though I did find a bit of it to be a bit fatty, but some of that is expected with pork ribs. The mildly sweet and slightly rich sauce paired with the pork ribs. The same comments from before can be made about the potatoes and salad. Last was the OK Paella De Mariscos for $38, listed as rice cooked with shrimp, mussels, clams, prawns, and fresh saffron. The portion size was good, with a lot of mussels and clams in particular, and a handful of shrimp. Of the bite I had of the two large prawns, they were plump and juicy as well. However, the rice was both a bit bland and a tad mushy and felt a bit overcooked compared to many other paellas. There was some socarrat on the bottom as per usual, which was the best part. It's a bit difficult to rate this place. The spices, textures, and flavors were lacking from the overpriced tapas, and I honestly wouldn't recommend any of them. For the main dishes, they were tasty, but you can get a better-cooked skirt steak at many other places for a similar price. The ribs were decent, and the paella was just OK. If we only had the tapas, I probably would be giving this place a 1, but for the whole meal, an upper 2, rounded up.

Our server suggested ordering six to nine dishes for the three of us, and even after we had already picked six, she kept encouraging us to add more, which felt a bit pushy. We ended up getting the ensalada mono, fluke crudo, razor clams, duck, bone marrow, pig ears, shishito peppers, and a bottle of Josep Foraster Julieta 2023. The ensalada mono was the biggest surprise with its smoky flavor and mix of textures. Definitely not your typical salad. The razor clams were also a hit, perfectly cooked, light, and slightly sweet. The bone marrow with the bread made for a rich, indulgent bite that was completely worth it. The duck was another standout. It was tender and juicy with a slight gamey richness that was not overpowering. The mushrooms added an earthy, umami balance, and the pate brought a smooth, slightly buttery layer that made the dish feel even more decadent. The fluke crudo, pig ears, and shishito peppers were good, but not dishes I would order again. The sommelier was very knowledgeable. Their wine list is extensive, so we appreciated the guidance. We shared what we were looking for along with our price range, and he recommended a bottle that fit our preferences perfectly. Highly recommend. I cannot wait to come back!

DO NOT GET the queso - it's literally a couple thin slices of cheese, a tiny bowl of almonds, and some tomato mixture. You can add bread for like $7 on top of the original $16 price - actually ridiculous for what you get. The roasted duck breast was flavorful and tender, and the bavette steak was even better.

There's a covered "outdoor" section with lots of natural light, and the inside is spacious and modern, with a semi-open kitchen that makes it feel like you're in a place twice its size. The tapas we tried were great. Patatas bravas were crispy on the outside, with a fluffy inside, and maybe a touch too much salt. The hamachi crudo was excellent, with a unique coconut and mango sauce that gave it a touch of sweet to go with the zest. And the pulpo was great, the octopus was well prepared and the sauce was hearty without dominating the taste. The half chicken was the most memorable dish; our server recommended it, and it's clear why. It was unbelievably juicy and tender, with plenty of lemon flavor in every bite. Lots of meat, don't expect a small plate like the other menu items! All in all a good experience in a nice atmosphere, definitely staying on the list for tapas in the future.
