    This was my first time here, but it will not be the last. The menu appears very traditional Spanish tapas at first. Quite a few plates came out looking very different than what I expected. I’ve spent a good bit of time in Spain, and I’ve eaten at many tapas restaurants over the years. I’m quite familiar with the dishes being offered at this restaurant. The dishes may look different than what the traditional version (not in every case) looks, but the flavors are spot on in each. The flavors are well balanced, and the creative expression of traditional plates is welcomed. Try the crema catalana 🍮 . You will be super surprised but happy.
