    The food was amazing and authentic Spanish. The selection of tapas and mains made it difficult to decide what to get. Order the olives to buy time to make your choices. The huevos rotos con jamón were salty and rich with the egg yolks and ham. The alcachofas were perfect with that tangy lemon caper remoulade. Finish it off with Torrijas and moscatel. Delightful. Will was my bartender. Perfect service and excellent conversation. A fabulous night.
