In Short
This refined Gold Coast Spanish spot is nestled serenely in a remodeled three-story mansion just a block from the Mag Mile. An established crowd of professionals and tourists settle in at tables in a series of small, cozy rooms with buttery yellow walls and dark wood accents. It's comfortable and inviting, with a buzzing bar up front and friendly, fast service. The menu includes a couple dozen hot and cold tapas, including tender marinated artichokes, piping-hot garlic prawns, zesty grilled chorizo, and baked goat cheese in marinara.
