Mary Taylor 2020 Agenais (Cabernet Sauvignon/Franc) Mary Taylor is sort of a wine explorer traveling to lesser known regions to bring back great wines at marvelous prices.

Quaint little tapas restaurant with high quality ingredients. Great local spot for a date night. Have been here a few times and the food is always delicious. Love the daily specials, including whole fish Friday. Usually pretty easy to get a table, or can sit at the bar. Would recommend the Spanish tortilla.

This place was amazing! First and foremost, would love to mention the really low key vibe this place has. Tucked below the sidewalk, the dining room is extremely intimate, and paired with bright walls and paintings, you feel as though you’re transported to the coast of Spain.

Interesting spot, small and intimate. You need to be careful with the food choices. Some of the dishes were just plain lazy and charging a lot for it. Toast with butter and anchovies or tinned fish with chips? Also the price of the crudo was higher than gold by weight. Nothing to complain about the spanish tortilla or gnocchi which were delicious.

Great seafood oriented tapas style dining. The best basque cake ever and kick butt anchovy and boquerones dishes. The roasted mushrooms and the little gem salad courses were excellent. Liked several of the new dishes.

Amazing food in a cute venue nestled below street level. Don’t sleep on the mushroom carpaccio. Small plates are the norm here, but don’t hesitate to go all in on one of their large format specials (pictured: sea bass).

I walked in by myself on a Tuesday night, and wow, I’m glad I did. Each dish I had was delicious, unique, and beautifully presented. The cocktails were great too! I eat out a lot in this neighborhood and all over the city, and this place truly stands out.

I’ve been here 3 times after being recommended by one of my favorite sommeliers at another restaurant. If I could go every week, I absolutely would. Service is intimate and excellent, food is always delicious and interesting, and cocktails/wine are delicious.
