Gone downhill?
This place used to be very well regarded - I remember going there during the tapas craze of a few years ago and it was one of the top options. It was quite upscale then and well run, I believe. Has it gone downhill?
I went going on three years ago
And really liked it. I thought everything, including the wine selection, was very reasonably priced and the food and atmosphere were great. They had a guy playing a nylon string guitar, too.
I guess the only thing is it's kind of in an odd spot, at the Washington St. stop on the B Line. Maybe Barcelona and similar places get frequented more often due to being in more favorable locations?
C'mon over
I'll serve you four popcorn shrimp on a plate for $7.95, and you won't have to tip me.
I thought it was OK
but not great and the lighting was dark.
Used to go every month or so
and really enjoy it. That said, I guess their monthly promotions - $10 coupon, $8 sangria, buy one get one - should have made me more skeptical. I would never have expected something like this, and now I'm not going back. Too many gross things.
