In Short
Seating in this lively tapas cafe is tight but cozy, with cushioned banquettes, indirect lighting, and massive bifold windows that open to tables on the sidewalk during the spring and summer. The menu offers traditional Spanish tapas, along with some ''twisted'' (internationally inspired) plates. Spanish standouts include simple grilled calamari with lemon-herb vinaigrette and super-tender grilled beef smothered with a blue cheese crust. International hits are rich grilled salmon with tangy olive-mustard butter and portobello mushroom generously stuffed with fresh crab meat.
