We live in Old Town, wanted to try it. Read the reviews, most not positive and we were skeptical. HOWEVER, we were most pleasantly surprised. Yes, it was not the most inexpensive restaurant in the neighborhood. Yes, the portions were not overwhelming. But for a truly authentic Spanish tapas experience, it was excellent. I was reminded of my last trip to Alicante. The service was most attentive and helpful. The cheeses and jamon were delicious. The dessert was incredible. And, the dessert wine, Lyric, a merlot reduction, was truly something to go back for again and again. This is not your Americanized version of tapas, but truly an experience and gem in our neighborhood, to be visited often.

the decor was nice, but the portions were ridiculous. Tapas is supposed to be family style, you can't share one bite portions with your family
