We saw this restaurant a few days ago while strolling Pearl Street, and decided to book a reservation for a weekday dinner. Glad we did! Drinks were outstanding, especially their take on a gin and tonic, and our party enjoyed almost all the tapas offerings. Meatballs and mushrooms stood out in particular (gotta try them!), and the cauliflower 'steak' was also a great dish. We definitely will return and recommend it to all the foodies visiting Boulder.
