Let me start off by saying this is a location where you're paying for the QUALITY of the food. Now granted, in the grand scheme of things with inflation and the way the economy is at the time you'll usually spend a decent amount but if you're looking for amazing high quality tapas this is the place to go.
1. Food: (apologies but I don't remember the exact names) I went with a friend and we ordered the lobster risotto, the chorizo burgers, asparagus fries, shrimp, grilled chicken, mushrooms and a salad.
In terms of my favorite I really enjoyed the chorizo burger (shown in picture [qty 2]). They had the perfect amount of sauce, meat, and bread ratio in my honest opinion! The chorizo wasn't spicy but it had the perfect amount of sausage-like texture/saltiness combined with the sweetness of the sauces made each bite delicious. Plus the chorizo was so juicy/cooked to perfection that it almost melted in your mouth.
The asparagus fries are something they're famous for and they go perfectly well with the dipping sauce included (the presentation is an added bonus too although I normally don't care too much for presentation as I'm not a true foodie.) I almost always order the asparagus fries when I'm there (not pictured).
Grilled chicken was definitely a 3rd favorite! Although it's hard to really get chicken to stand out, the seasonings/sauce they put on the chicken and the way they cooked it so well that it was still nice and juicy definitely helped.
Finally, the shrimp was ok. It didn't really stand out too much but it wasn't bad either. I think in comparison with all the other dishes I was so blown away that the shrimp seemed mediocre when any other day it would really wow me. I noted the mushrooms and salad but I didn't partake in those so I can't include them in my review.
2. Service: The server was very attentive, kind, and broke down the menu to us if we had any questions/concerns. I didn't have to ask to have my water refilled he just did that for me when appropriate and even gave me a soda refill as well without me asking. Overall the type of service you can expect and enjoy at a nice restaurant. I couldn't see how he could've done a better job because he was amazing.
OVERALL I think it's truly worth it. Go if you're willing to spend a bit more money to try different things and share high quality small bites. You can easily spend less than 50 per person if you each order individual entrees/skip out on the drinks but expect to spend somewhere between 40 - 60pp depending on drinks, entrees and appetizers. Definitely well worth the money.
