We arrived at Fernando's for the tapas after attending a stunning flaminco ballet performance at the Schnitz. Believing that Fernando's would be open late, we found out that it was closing in 10 min. But no problem, the head waiter tells us! So we were seated in the cozy, quaint dining room to enjoy tapas and a nice tinto. Our waiter was quite accomodating, not rushing us one bit. And since there were virtually nobody left in the place, we felt pampered. The tapas were very good (don't compare them with San Sebastian or Bilbao, Spain, that wouldn't be fair). We look forward to returning -- and think visiting Fernando's in mid week as we did to avoid the crowds is the way to go. Downside, some smoke from the bar does make it into the dining room.
Pros: Reasonably priced, Good service, Nice ambiance
Cons: Bar smoke
