Review: Great dinner of delicious tapas. Very small venue so I recommend you make reservations. We did the same day so that was easy. The service was friendly and excellent. Fun vibe with waitstaff in PIGG t-shirts and kilts. The assorted charcuterie board was wonderful. And an assortment of delish meats and cheeses.”
