We were sorely disappointed by this spot, but for reasons that could be easily fixed. First, the location and decor are beautiful--classy, elegant, and relaxed. Onto the issues:\n\n1. Service was spotty. On a recent Thursday evening, our server was nonexistent for much of our dinner. For example, our bottle of wine sat on the table for more than 10 minutes until he walked by (finally) and realized that he forgot to open it. I would have, of course, said something sooner had we been able to find him.\n\n2. Despite our request to have the tapas ordered in a particular way, nothing came out from the kitchen with any logic or sequence. So a meaty appetizer came out before a salad, which was then followed by the soup--not the way we requested it at all.\n\n3. The food itself was very mixed. The Mediterranean salad was creamy, because it suffered from too much cheese. The bruschetta were perfect, so no complaints there. But the gazpacho was extremely bland and lacked any evidence of seasoning. The tomatoes tasted as if they had come straight from a food processor with no spicing at all. Just cold pureed tomatoes--not the spirit of gazpacho at all. \n\nWorse yet were the braised bison ribs, which the server described as done in an \"amazing\" cola sauce. I've braised ribs and pork in coke numerous times. The flavor should be slightly sweet and deep. These were super-sweet and bland at the same time. Once again, the food lacked any seasoning whatsoever. Disappointing.\n\nWith a bit more attention to these culinary details, this spot could be excellent.
