The Scene
Unwind to Spanish guitar music and Old-World serenity at this neighborhood restaurant. Green pillars with fanciful capitals; tall, small-paned windows; sand-colored stucco walls; and a mural of beaches, palms and gaily painted boats transport diners to Spain.
The Food
Hot appetizers include artfully arranged piquillo peppers stuffed with chunky codfish and spinach then drizzled with smooth, salty red pepper sauce. Shrimp sauteed with olive oil and transparent garlic filets, sweet paprika and white wine arrive sizzling in shallow earthenware casseroles. Serrano ham drapes over Catalonian garlic bread topped with slices of tomato, garlic and fresh green herbs. Garlicky salsa verde glazes plump, pan-seared sea scallops nestled in al dente linguini. Diners shell clams and mussels in the bubbling tomato-broth casserole swimming with squid, shrimp, scallops and fish, accented by fragrant saffron rice. House-made desserts include dense cheesecake in a puddle of sweet orange liquor sauce and crema catalana, a loose custard with a crisp crust.
