On the plus side, our server was kind and helpful, the tapas were tasty, wine was great, and the room felt right. On the negative side, the Maitre'd was full of himself, the portion sizes were ridiculous for the price (and we're not gluttonous types at all), but worst of all: the dreaded olive oil confrontation. We thought it might be nice to dip our bread in some, but got the same speech that apparently others have. Some nonsense about ""other sauces"" being available, and the chef refuses! My wife has travelled extensively throughout Spain, and knows that olive oil with bread is ubiquitous. I thought they were joking, but no. Reminded me of the Seinfeld ""no soup for you!"" episode. Never again!
Pros: Atmosphere, food quality, wine list
Cons: Arrogant staff, portion size for the price, bizarre olive oil policy
