This is an interesting place. Upstairs from the Wine House (which is a wonderful wine store), this restaurant attempts to present the customers of the wine shop with a tapas menu alongside wine by the glass program. Overall this place is ok, and I recommend it for a late dinner on the Westside.
The good:
The place is open until 1am, which is a plus. I would recommend this restaurant for a midnight snack, as unfortunately in Los Angeles we have very few good restaurants which are open late.
The wine list is impressive, including by the glass selection. It is a plus that the place offers 2.5 oz testings of all the wines on the by the glass menu.
The food is good. Just, good, nothing special.
The bad:
The food is good, but I can think of a number of places in the vicinity where the food is far superior. While I would qualify the food as gourmet, it is nothing to brag about. In short, if you are looking for tapas, this is not the place to go for the best in LA.
I had ordered two 2.5 oz glasses of wine, the second of which did not seem as if it had been filled fully. I am wondering if the place is jipping people on already overpriced drinks. I was also left with an impression that the waiter was pushing certain wines (we dined late, and I wondered if they were trying to sell already opened bottles).
Pros: opened late, parking, good wine list
Cons: average food, small dining room
