We both had the tapas lunch special $24 for 2 tapas. We chose artichokes, brussel sprouts, tortilla and jamon croquetas. Dessert was probably the best churros I've ever had in my life. We also had a great, crisp Albariño (the wine list is a little pricey).My only complaint is I'm not a fan of only high top seating.

Came for a restaurant week, food had an average flavour profile very heavy on carbs and fats. Gnocchi and arancini were basically in the same sauce. Bread pudding was not to my liking - too soggy and bland.
