Connie took me to this nice little tapas place on the lower east side for my Birthday. Yes, i am old. LES has come a long way as far as 'gentrification' is concerned, some parts of Clinton st is still a little ghetto. With so many nice restaurants around, (WD-50, Falai to name a few) it bothers me that it still feels unsafe.
Nice cozy place for some Rioja or Sangria and just keep ordering the small plates. Tapas portion is fair and the entree portions are fairly small. We got 5 tapas and a Black Paella (cooked in squid ink). Highly recommend the Chorizo and cheese lollipop, Dates wrapped in Bacon on a bed of almond and endives, Croquette with Jamon and Sliced Skirt steak with garlic olive oil over creamiest mash potatoe. Paella de Arroz Negro was just the right portion after all that and it was very tasty.
All in all, a rather repeatable place. Like most tapas places, best to keep the group to 3-4, so you get to sample more items and have just the right amount to share.
6/10 in my book.
