I love tapas bars and was super excited to check this place out. Walking in, I was immediately turned off by the seating. The tables are crammed up against each other and the stools look like converted step ladders. We ordered a few items and were very excited in particular by Dungeness Crab Wrapped in Smoked Salmon. The ?tapas? came out and most were globs of unappetizing pastes atop stale French bread, served just cooler than room temp. The Dungeness crab was packed with what looked like white worms coming out of it. Before even attempting to eat it, I asked the server what it was and she said they call them ?baby eel? but they are basically just white filler fish. Disgusting! My dinner partner was able to force down one bacon wrapped fig and I attempted to eat the radish and avocado salad (coarsely cut radish, jicima and avocado skewered on a tooth pick, drowning in lime juice) but the flavors did not combine well and I couldn?t finish more than a bite. I also attempted to eat their cod and potato creation but it was so salty that I instantly had to jug water. We politely told our server the food was not what we expected and asked her to clear it from our table, most of it untouched. She then brought us the bill and had not comped us a single thing. We had to ask the manager to at least remove our two orders of crab which were gross enough to make us loose our appetites for the rest of the night. On the walk out we noticed that all of the food is premade and sits in a sushi cooler. Overall, it was the most awful restaurant experience of my life. The wine was good and cheap, earning them the single star.
Pros: the cheap wine
Cons: terrible food, terrible presentation, terrible atmosphere
