What an amazing hidden taps spot in Baltimore! Amazing service, food and wine! We came for dinner on a Monday night but ended up... at the endless bar! It’s one of the 3 spaces in this restaurant and it’s so opened and modern, awesome vibes! We orderedcharcuterie plates and each serving of cheese or meat was very oversized, about .25-.30 of a pound each plate! It was too muchfor us and most folks who ordered it, everyone was leaving with a box. Other hot tapas were very tasty as well. Wine selectionwas mostly from Spain and we were given a taste of 3 or 4 before we chose a bottle of red Tempranillo. I saw the cocktails andthey looked very good too. Overall, a great experience, everything went smooth and we enjoyed it a lot. Prices were also veryfair for the portions and quality of food. This place is a must visit, it was pretty full on a regular Monday night, I canimagine how busy it is on a weekend. Read more
Semi upscale Basque restaurant with great atmosphere inside. Amazing food and interiors. Lots of parking outside. New Hampden... favorite! Read more
Really cute spot! First of all the place is huge and well decorate, lighted, and just has a wonderful ambiance. The drinks... were good - well thought out, flavorful and reasonably priced. The tapas were wonderful. The patatas bravas - excellent. Thejamon croquettes quite crispy and interesting. The beef empanadas were a let down - the empanada felt undercooked. The shrimpdinner was great and the gnocchi was also well cooked. Desserts were interesting and very different. We got the pavlova andunfortunately they got the textures all wrong. They filled it with a custard which while delicious made the inside so heavy thatinstead of having a light and airy pavlova it was quite dense and marshmallow-y. All in all a great dinner - expensive for sure- they tried to be edgy in some spots and it didn't work but at least they are pushing the limits of what you see normally. Ithink my only knocks on this place was bang for your buck and the explanation of their dishes. They just needed to give medetail on what to expect and maybe the waitstaff was supposed to do that, I just was left wanting at times on what to expect. Read more

The food and service here were exceptional. Met up with friends and shared several plates and a bottle of wine. All the food was... incredible, especially the croquettes, the black garlic fideua and the calimari. Knowledgeable staff could make recommendationsfor food and wine. Decor was lovely and warm. Cannot wait to come back! Read more
Everything was amazing. The food and the ambiance was very nice. The service was extremely good. The red sauce under the fish... was so tasty. The shrimp was also so good with the preserved lemon and garlic. The dishes did not make us feel heavy afterwards.The tuna was cooked rare and extremely delicious. The desserts was also so nice, churros with black pepper and the bitterchocolate sauce was matching really well. The olive oil ice cream on top of the pear tart was out of this world. The experiencewe had there made us feel in Spain without buying a plane ticket to Spain. It was our first visit and will definitely not be thelast. Read more
