Not bad, but not good either 12/29/2006

Despite the recent negative reviews, I thought to give this place a try considering the high 9.2 rating. While the restaurant is not bad, I would say Eclipse di Luna or Loca Luna are better tapas restaurants. The dishes are good but not outstanding; the menu is complicated (weird ingredients), but fortunately there are definitions and descriptions of some of the foods. \r \r The portions are quite small...yes, small for tapas. I ordered this one dish with some kind of ""hearts of palm"" and it was gone in two forkfuls. Prices of the dishes are twice as much as Eclipse for half the serving. The presentation of food is quite appealing however (I guess that is really what you are paying for). Drinks are a bit weak and watered down. \r \r Our server was really really nice and informative. Fast service. Simple, and charming decor (hey, if that helps!). But I probably won't be back; if you want great tapas for a better $, head to Eclipse. Pros: Service, Food Presentation Cons: Parking, Small restaurant, tiny portions more
