    Fantastic. With the server’s guidance, we elected to order several tapas and sides to get more tastes. Each was well prepared, beautifully plated and excellent. Fritter with mushrooms, beet terrine, octopus and quail stood out. Cocktails were just as inventive and delicious. The house-made hot sauce was very good but its HOT.
