    This is one of the worst restaurants in the city. Whoever got this to a 4.4 on google is nuts. The food was terrible, the service was even worse. The staff here HATE their jobs.

    Iberia pork pate was 10/10, so was the octopus and the deserts. Cocktails were fine, would maybe go for their wine list next time. Service was friendly.

    Very expensive for a wine bar. 5 oz glasses were 15$ minimum. Make it more affordable and it will be much busier
