    Cozy ambiance and delicious tapas with reasonable portions. Expensive but what we expected in this city and in line with similar establishments. Can check out menu online for comparisons…we left full which is something for our crew. We did order a fair number of tapas to try. Table favorites were the clams, garlic shrimp, fava beans, fried white fish, and dark chocolate truffles for dessert. I would 100% repeat the clams each time…so good! Service was well done and very attentive. Visiting our daughters who go to school in Boston and we choose different restaurants to try each visit. Thus far, this ranks as best tapas restaurant we have experienced in the area!
