The food was very tasty, but expensive. I liked everything I tried. We ordered the grilled veggies, chicken with lemon and grilled veggies, dates wrapped in bacon, venison ravioli, chickpea humus, goat cheese with tomatoes, and bean soup. The portions were VERY small. The humus was spread so thinly on the plate it was comical. No joke, it was probably 1/16 of an inch or less. You had to scrape your piece of bread on the plate to get any at all. The plate of grilled veggies had 7 slices of vegetables. There were only 3 raviolis. It cost us $15/person. It is expensive for what you get, but it is fun and the food is good. I just which the serving sizes were normal not minuscule.

Veteran tapas restaurant serves up fine finger food and cozy, romantic atmosphere.

The Scene
Don't let the nearby cemetery spook you--romance is blooming indoors and out at this suburban favorite. Dim pink lighting, spicy flamenco beats, mosaic-encrusted bar tables and Spanish village paintings beckon lovers-in-waiting.
The Food
Great for grazing. The big menu features more than 40 bite-size portions and a selection of entrees. Garlic mayo makes its most successful appearance in the aioli potato salad; tart sherry vinaigrette is perfectly paired with chilled asparagus and roasted red peppers. Don't pass up the delicious Spanish-style tomato bread, a bruschetta-like concoction served with shaved ham and manchego cheese. Pork tenderloin with herbed potatoes and cracked pepper beef tenderloin, both served atop tri-colored peppers, stand out among the meat selections. Try the paella for two if you've got time on your hands (the dish takes 30-40 minutes to prepare). Wash it all down with white or red fruit-topped sangria and save room for caramel-laden sautéed bananas.
