Years ago, when this restaurant was located in Oakhurst, it was one of the better tapas places that I had ever been to. After visiting their Midtown relocation, however, I was extremely disappointed. While the service was fairly attentive, the food was mediocre, at best. I would have been embarrased to serve the puny, stringy mussels that they served us (unfortunate since the broth was quite good), and the proscuitto bruschetta looked and tasted more like corned beef on toast. Most of the other dishes we had were decent, the steak and chicken brochettes, mango guacamole, and black bean hummus. The wine list offered some variety, but avoid the crianza (it was either corked, or an exceptionally bad wine), and the dessert was not too terrible. I am left to wonder if this location isn't truly cursed, with previous restaurants (Fishmonger, Big Red Tomato) rarely lasting a couple of seasons. If Sweet Devil Moon doesn't turn things around, it might be next...
Pros: Attentive service, creative dishes
Cons: poor execution of dishes, food was sub-par for the price
