Comments:

  • Interior reminded us so much of Barcelona and Gaudi’s mystical nature-inspired architecture - loved it! Awesome atmosphere

  • Great cocktails and tapas, though on the expensive side. You get what you pay for

    • Would recommend the Porcelina cocktail (pictured below - beautiful and delicious) and the squid ink rice with octopus (easily best dish of the night)

    • Jamon just melted in your mouth, was so good

    • We also ordered the house made preserved mackerel and sobrasada

  • About 5 dishes across 4 of us was good for the start of the night

Covered and heated patio during the winter
