Dim lighting from chandeliers and candles flicker off exposed brick walls, gothic mirrors and black leather banquettes, sometimes catching a sequin on the framed vintage matador's costume. Traditional Spanish songs accompany chatty young professionals as the sangria flows. Tapas dishes fall on the pricier side, with selections including cheese plates, bay scallops with serrano ham and bechamel, mixed wild mushrooms and squid with fava beans. Mains include Spanish paella, and duck breast with pears.
