Google maps said closed on monday but went anyway. Happily for me it was open. For a lunchtime it was surprisingly lively and busy yet still welcoming and friendly. Laid back atmosphere. Fantastic wine list and a tapas menu like no other I have found in Spain or Portugal. If you love seafood tapas, this is a must visit. First visit and will definitely not be my last. A resounding TEN.
What a great find? The owner is amazing and extremely friendly. Guida is a knowledgeable staff person. We have been twice now. The house wine is good & the cheese plate is exceptional. We also had veal meatballs and the best Cod croquettes is the area. Thank you for an amazing time in your fine establishment. SMKOCH
