To sum it up in two words: Undeservingly pretentious. The food was so overpriced for what it was. Tapas with very fancy names and descriptions that are mediocre taste and presentation. A carafe of sangria is $50 and it's maybe 1/10th as good as the sangria from Firefly. \n\nWe ordered a variety of items to share between a group of 6 people. This included Vieiras Con Salsa De Romesco (scallops), pork and foie gras canelones with bechamel sauce, grilled skirt steak with piquillo pepper confit. \n\nThe scallops were 2 tiny little scallops that were presented in such a dismal way that would never have made it past Gordon Ramsay in the show \"Hell's Kitchen\" (you know, where the scallop station is the death of every contestant!). They were tiny and drowing in this orange sauce. \n\nThe pork and foie gras canelones were probably the best out of all the things we ordered. No one could detect the foie gras though. They looked and tasted like little enchiladas so if there was foie gras, it was minced into the pork inside the canelones. \n\nWe didn't eat all that much, but our bill was about $900 for the six of us. If the food had been spectacular, I would have said it was completely worth it, but the food wasn't even \"great.\" What a waste, but I guess that's the risk you take for wanting to try a different fancy restaurant. Just because it looks and seems fancy certainly does not guarantee a great culinary experience.\n\nLast but not least, the service was all over the place. Yes the restaurant was very busy, but our servers acted like they were running around with their heads cut off. For a fine dining restaurant and that price tag, I expected more.
