My first tapas experience in Seattle! I haven't tried tapas anywhere else in the area but this is most likely a hotspot. At first glance the place seems pretty small but there is actually another floor downstairs. We sat by the area where we could see the chefs meticulously cook their creations in front of us. Neat! Keep in mind that each dish comes in smaller portions but the food is exquisite. Most of the items on the menu might seem a little foreign but it's perfect for those who are feeling adventurous and want to try something new. Here's what we had from what I recall... Fried peppers and sea salt: -This was not on the menu but the waiter suggested it to us as one of the specials. The peppers are medium hot but there is one that is super spicy! Very tasty. Rabbit leg with mushrooms: -My first time trying rabbit meat....tastes like chicken but tasty! Blood sausage: -At first glance, the name does not sound appetizing at all but this was my favorite! It was savory with a bit of smoky flavor. Green peppers filled with potato salt cod mousse: -This was given to us by accident but we still loved it. I enjoyed the creamy potato stuffed inside the pepper. Vanilla bean flan: -Best dessert on the menu. Very light and smooth with a creamy vanilla bean flavor! Fig cake with custard sauce: -I thought this was just OK. The food came out at a steady pace so we were able to have a decent, long conversation. Our meal lasted over 2 hours! Overall, everything we ordered was delicious. Now I know I'm probably forgetting a few dishes that I tried but I promise that whatever you order on the menu is excellent. read more

Everytime I get to Seattle, I go to Harvest Vine and sit at the bar and watch the chefs prepare the food. It's a complete dining experience and perfect for a night when you're eating solo. read more

I would like to say that yes the location of the restaurant is lovely. Also, that I am envious of the chefs' set up there. But, while the shot of cold leek soup was delightful and the bread fresh, and the construction of the quail plate was artful, it did however lead me to a small disappointment. On top of the aire of pretension in this joint that I haven't even seen in some of the finer New York restaurants the quail's flesh came to me slightly flavorless and rubbery. As rubbery as food chains, no, actually very fine, but for the price (disregarding the assumption that I would need my sweet grains and radish slices accompanying the bird to be sparsely plated rather than just plated for my pleasure) of around $16 I was left with a feeling of regret. Although the names of the dishes are in Basque Spanish, this restaurant makes an impression of a jamon importer's attempt at foreign tradition aimed at the upper middle class compatrons who shared the dining area with me. read more

I've never been to a better tapas place. Everything is a good tapas portion and excellent for sharing with the table (of 4). I really enjoy it when menu items differ greatly from another, the variety of foods and flavors are fantastic. Serrano is magical and the grilled meats were done perfectly. The tapas are arranged in such a way that you can fork together the ingredients to create the perfect bite each time. People stopped talking to enjoy the food. A pretty common thing that happened was that you took a bite, looked up at the ceiling, exhaled sharply, then said "Wow". read more

Delicious tapas and wine. What more can you ask for? The atmosphere is incredibly warm and intimate, so it's best for romantic dates or small to medium groups. Of course things are meant to be shared and there is so much to try on their menu. Some stand out favorites were the beets, foie gras, and beef tongue but things seem to be changing with the season so you can't ever get bored. The desserts were absolutely killer and ended a great meal. Come with a great group and be ready to share some food, wine, and memories. read more

I had the Ibérico de Bellota and it was great. It's clear that all the food is made fresh while you wait and that's great.

The dinner at The Harvest Vine was simply excellent. The place is just not too formal and not informal at all. The food is great: it's made with traditional ingredients but with the right hint of innovation that can surprise you, even if you had Basque food before. My favourite tapas? The duck leg and the pork belly...but there were so many things that I wanted to try! The selection of Spanish wines is huge... And I really appreciated the Spanish style to serve just one tapas each time, so that everyone can taste little bite and find the time to enjoy a conversation with friends. This dinner was really remarkable, no other adjectives to describe it. read more

I've now been to Harvest Vine four times; twice for dinner and twice for brunch. Each and every time we come we have some of the best food of our lives. I studied abroad in Spain, I fell in love with the food there, and Harvest Vine takes all of the delicious ingredients and recipes from the country and their spin and execution shoots it out of the ballpark. We finally made it to brunch this December after living a half mile away for several months and finding out that the brunch service is about to be discontinued. We came for brunch one Sunday and came back the very next Sunday. It is THAT good! So this review speaks to their brunch that is cozy and cute, relaxing and lively, and most importanly mouthwateringly delicious. Their cafe vitta coffee with strong and rich. This goes well with their light vanilla buns if that is your thing. Everything we have ever had has been amazing but if you were to only get one thing at brunch it better be the Huevos a la Flamenca. This ceramic bowl of heaven is fantastic. Creamy tomato sauce, roasted peppers, chorizo and serrano ham, bechamel and then topped with two eggs and baked until hot and bubbly. Served with toast for dipping and spreading, because oh boy are you going to want to dip and spread all day. There really is no better breakfast dish that I can think of. It is the perfect portion and satisfies all of the cravings. I freaking love this place!!! read more

Seldom do I pull out the "6-th star" but here it comes. This is the best place in the city. Go with 2-3 people. Sit at the bar upstairs. Order a drink. Watch. Watch the chef make each little dish. Try to determine which is which. Ooh, you like that? Which one is it? Maybe ask, maybe don't. Maybe just let the chef make you some food with out the normal need for the patron to tell the restaurant what you like, Harvest Vine knows what's best for you. I'm not going to describe the food here, it's really indescribable. Just got eat it, watch it, love it. Come here and splurge, try lots! read more

By way of background, my brother is a foodie and the main reason I'm OBSESSED with good wine and eats. We trust him emphatically to select dining options when we're in town for a visit. Small plates have always been a big hit amongst our family. What can I say, we like to share? If Toro in Boston is the benchmark for 5* tapas, I would call The Harvest Vine about a 2.5*, There's a limited selection of options and I found them lacking in creativity. The quality of the food was all over the map - cauliflower was wonderful as was the bread which they were very attentive to stock. Our baby octopus was artfully skewered, and tasted tender but smelled fishy. The Iberico ham was served medium rare in large chunks, some of which found their way into my cloth napkin. Nary a morsel of the glamorous home fry it was served over was left behind. One thing that did really bother me was the dichotomy between attention to some necessary details like water, and plates, and bread - but total oblivion to others like toothpicks, and crumbs that were left on the cloth from our amuse bouche. The arrival of the tapas was well throughout, and I have to give them props for this. Typically with tapas it's a first ready, first to the table mentality. Here they did deliver with the piece de resistance last. The bathrooms are classy and the upstairs is certainly for the younger crowd, a group I still fancy myself a part of. We were sat in the cellar with the more mature folk. read more

Perfectly executed tapas standards, with slight modern touches. Most of the dishes appear to be classics you would expect to encounter in a decent tapas restaurants - tortilla espanola, gambas, pulpo, etc. - but nicely presented and absolutely flawlessly cooked. It took a fair amount of restraint on my part to share with my fellow diners, rather than literally snatching the food from their hands as it arrived. Plus a charming setting, whether you're upstairs in the bright dining room, or downstairs in the cellar. read more

I wish I could give no stars. Snooty, rude and disrespectful!!! I walked into this place for the first time today. The waiter sat me down and proceeded to completely ignore me for the next five minutes. No menu, no water, nothing. I rested my chin on my hands looking thoroughly bored. The waiter continued to ignore me. After giving him more chances than I should have, I finally got up to leave. When they asked why I was leaving I expressed that it only takes a few seconds to hand someone a menu, and that I felt quite insulted and disrespected. They proceeded to act as though I was wrong to be frustrated by this horrible service. Overall, they lost a potential customer and I will badmouth this place whenever I can. This place reeks of pretentiousness. read more

Easily one of the best meals I've had in Seattle since moving here in '07. Definitely the best Spanish food we've had outside of Spain. The service was excellent, attentive and knowledgeable. The two of us shared five items: sauteed mushrooms, blood sausage, rabbit, seared foie gras, and the roasted eggplant special. Everything was cooked to perfection and had well-balanced flavors. I especially enjoyed the blood sausage and foie gras. The desserts were just as good as the meal, which is a big deal to me. I hate it when really good restaurants treat dessert as an afterthought. Not the case here. We had the lemon and herb flan and cheesecake with fig. Both were not too sweet and consistent in portion size with the food (good for sharing, but not too small for just one bite each). I can't wait to come back and try brunch one weekend. read more

OUR FAV SPOT IN SEATTLE!! A real iberic restaurant! Octopus, tortilla, wine everything was perfect. The owner was there and gave me a more than special treatment for my bday. We more than recomend it, but make reservations :) read more

I have just returned from Barcelona where I spent a week enjoying the wonderful tapas there every night. It was like paradise. The day that I returned to Seattle, I decided that I had to go to Harvest Vine as I was having symptoms of "Iberian withdrawal". There was absolutely no drop off from Barcelona to the Harvest Vine, in fact some of the dishes were better at HV as they are each made to order whereas at many tapas bars in Barcelona, dishes are made in the morning and heated as needed for guests in the evening. I believe that this is one of the top 5 restaurants in Seattle and should be visited by every Seattlite who has an interest in food. I completely do not understand the review by Mindy M. Thatcher has served me dozens of times in the past. He is courteous, helpful and knowledgeable. read more

Dinner plans? No. Have a genre of food in mind? No. Hungry? Hell yes! Thursday night, no plans, was starving - let go out to dinner! Awesome spot. We cruised in around 8, got seated right away downstairs (the ground floor is tiny) and promptly ordered a bottle of the '01 Finca Valpiedra Reserva - a light, fragrant wine with medium tannins and a smooth finish. But this isn't a wine review, it's a restaurant review. So here goes - food was awesome, from the complimentary butternut squash sampler to the ensalada de sandia (watermelon cucumber) to the vieiras (seared scallops) and even the the plato de queos (cheese plate) - they were all amazing. Presentation is classy and elegant, the service is spot-on, the prices too! I will most definitely be heading back to this place...soon! You won't leave unhappy. read more

I was initially hesitant to go here for brunch since I'd heard about Harvest Vine's pricey reputation, but as soon as we walked we were happy with the decision! We sat in the top open space and ordered a few plates at a time - my favorites were the sweet rolls (divine!), salted cod and potato mousse (too fishy tasting for a few members of the party but I thought it was incredible), and the huevos flamencos. The service was friendly and prompt, and the overall experience of tapas, open air, and a laid back atmosphere is super inviting and was absolutely perfect. This will probably be the new place for me to take out of towners, especially since their brunch prices are actually really reasonable for the quality of food. Wish I could give 6 stars! read more

Pros: Inventive dishes. Nice presentation. Cons: Not really authentic tapas, portions are small. Many dishes lacked taste. Expensive, dinner for 2 was 100 dollars. Staff not very attentive Harvest Vine is one of the most disappointing experiences that I've had so far. I've heard many good things by people who have eaten there, and I will be the first to say that it isn't worth the experience. Many people who have recommended this restaurant either don't have a keen sense of taste, and are there just because they want to be able to say they ate there. If HV was situated in Los Angeles, it would be a restaurant where you would see the likes of Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan eating. The restaurant is small, however, it has two levels, and I was lucky to have been placed downstairs. The ambience of the restaurant is very nice, however, it was ruined by the wait staff who just don't seem to be interested working there. Now on to the food. As an afficianado of tapas (Jaleo in DC is a fave) I was impressed by the selections of the menu, ranging from fresh anchovies air cured in extra virgin olive oil to the duck braised with morels. The food had all the right ingredients, however the chef either lacked the knowledge of figuring out how to use seasonings or he/she had forgotten to sample the dish before it went out. Overall result was the food was bland and non inspirational, even though the menu had been well thought out. The only dish that I found to be rather exceptional was the scallops in carmelized onions. However, 3 scallops for the price of 18 dollars was rather steep, as you can buy 2 dozen sashimi grade scallops for that rate. Overall Rating: This restaurant deserves 3 stars for an average experience, however, I am bringing this down to one to offset the extraordinary high ratings that people have given HV. If someone you know suggests HV in the future, please second guess them. They either have poor taste buds, or they like eating there cause it's so chic. They are your high maintenance friends! read more

Basque food. It's small plates, expensive but tasty. The kind of place you go to with another couple. Which is exactly what we did, and we had a delightful evening. The spinach, foie gras, beef, rabbit, and mushrooms were all excellent. The caramel sea salt icecream and chocolate sorbet were good. I didn't really like the merengues and the rhubarb tart. We sat right at the door around a tiny copper table. The four of us squeezed to fit, but it didn't matter: the service was quick and efficient. The restaurant is noisy and crowded, and the prices are a bit high, but we will defintely come back here for more. The atmosphere, and the company, made for a memorable evening. read more

Went her with a bunch of friends for our wedding anniversary! We had a significant wiat time, coz we went there on a Saturday night. Unassumingly small from the outside - but, has a decent seating capacity. Things I loved here : 1. Wine selection - AHMAZING! So amny options, with exquisite recommendations. 2. The small plate options were balanced for vegetrians & non-vegeterians - Which I always appreciate :) 3. Such ahmazing service. So yes, I am going back there :) Slighty on the pricey side, but hey! Its was an occasion dinner - so completely worth it! read more

updating our review --- i've heard some people say it's gone downhill a bit, but we just went for my birthday on Sunday evening, and it was as delightful as ever. To-die-for grilled cuttlefish, perfectly plump and gorgoues mussels delighting in their saffron and chorizo powerhouse of a broth, and Marcona almond ice cream with crushed marconas that brought it all home. And of course, service to match. I miss Spain. :) One of our favorites...of course best Spanish wine list this side of the Rioja, phenomenal knowledgable service, love the downstairs hidden wine cellar dining room, etc. After walking the 500 mile Camino del Santiago back in '99, visiting the Harvest Vine is my favorite place to reminisce. :) read more

I have eaten at many of the notable restaurants in Seattle, and this by far is my favorite. The food here favors simple but beautiful cooking. You won't find super rich dishes here, covered in salt and smothered in butter, because that would hide the integrity of the high quality ingredients. Rather one will get a simple tortilla espagnolle or the fantastic huevos flamenca. Truly one of my favorite restaurants. read more

My husband and I decided to try out The Harvest Vine on our last trip to Seattle. Simply Magnificent. This kicks any restaurant's butt in Los Angeles 10 times over. The food was spectacular from A to Z. You must try the olives and just about everything else on the menu. The staff was very friendly and informative about all the Spanish wines they served. Loved it. LOVED IT and still praying for something like this to open up down here. Now I want to go to Spain. Or back to Seattle... read more

My favorite restaurant in my life so far.. Totally beat all the fine dining restaurant in food wise (in my opinion) It is a little expensive when you look at the bill but I still found it totally worth it. My husband told me the pork dish we had (it was a chef's special that night) was the best pork he had experienced including all his business trips in Asia too. The BEST restaurant in my life so far~~ read more

The Harvest Vine - Tapas Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

First of all, we had no idea it was Spanish Tapas. Friends had told us that we had to try it and it was amazing..from the name we thought it would be American fare, but as soon as we got there we were really amazed! We sat downstairs, which had outstanding atmosphere, and had some of the best food outside of the apartment since we've moved here. The eggplant with cheese melted over was one of the best eggplants I've ever had. The venison was amazing and the wine that Sergio suggested was perfect. We're definitely going back...most likely this week for the 2nd time. read more

Had a great meal here recently. We were late for reservation and were still seated promptly. The server was great. Friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Didn't see any of the attitude mentioned by other reviewers. The food is excellent, much better than Tango's tired menu. Good fun and great food. read more

2/14/10: this place is very small, quaint, and reminds me of the restaurants in Madrid. They don't rush you, which is nice. The chef starts you off with an amuse bushe (sp), which was Elks pickled tongue! Dude I almost threw up when she announced it! I tried it anyway, cuz I like to consider myself a wannabe foodie. :-p If she didn't announce it, or if I didn't know what it was, it tasted like a ham! Odd right? Since I went here awhile ago, i've already forgotten we ordered. But they have a great wine list. The tapas are on the pricey side. read more

The food here is outstanding... some of the best cuisine in Seattle. The reason for my 2 star review is their very odd bread and olive oil policy. "Bread service" is $2.50, and olive oil with it is an extra $7.00. I just don't like being nickel and dimed when I'm spending over $100 for two people. Even the Fois Gras doesn't include bread. You have to buy it separately. If they change this policy, I'll change my rating to five stars. read more

I would have given this place 6 stars if that was an option. My boyfriend and I went there for our anniversary dinner and the food was exquisite! Every single plate was put together skillfully and the flavors compliment each other very well. Our waiter also provided excellent service (loved the Spanish accent). If you are looking for a good restaurant that serves tapas, this place is a must! read more

Definitely one of my favorite restaurants. Always great food and great service. It's best to come with a group of people, so you can order and try a bunch of dishes. read more

We held our daughters wedding at Harvest Vine last night. We couldn't have been happier with the food, wine and the service. Thank you for making it such a memorable occasion. read more

Last night we celebrated our anniversary at the Harvest Vine. I had heard that it was delicious but expensive and can vouch that both are true, though it is worth every dime. Like other commenter's our service was a bit slow but all in all good. We too had to wait a little from time to time for water or bread, but the amuse bouche and on the house after dinner cordials can really help a girl forget that she needed to remind the waiter about the sparkling water. We started with a cheese plate of 3 cheeses. They were all presented with lovely touches like a chopped pumpkin and candied walnut garnish or pine nuts with a ground chili. The portions of cheese were also a bit above expectations. We then shared a cold tapas of dry cured tuna with a row served on crispy toasts. It was a bit fishy for me, but very good. G polished it off with no problem. After that we split two hot tapas: steamed cod over 3 fingerling potato halves with a delicious sauce and roasted quail on top of beluga lentils and chanterelles. The cod was cook to absolute perfection and was fabulous. The quail was the show stopper for me with the flavors balanced perfectly. G felt that the lentils could have been a little more cooked but I thought they were just right. The wine list was reasonable, with a good selection and also some good prices. After our meal we shared a pine tart and profiteroles with honey ice cream. Both were delicious. The profiteroles would have been better with cream but the ice cream indicated to me that the pastry chef was in need of dessert she can prepare and leave in the cooler. The dishes were small but I found very filling. Fortunately G had no problem finishing off both desserts. To top off this great experience we had the best decaf Americanos that I have had in Seattle and were given a lovely cordial that tasted of raisins and spices. The Harvest Vine was one of the all time best meals I have had in Seattle. Go when you have a little extra money to burn, but definitely go. P.S. Someone mentions below that they do not take reservations, but they do. You just have to call a week ahead. read more

The Harvest Vine is Seattle's go-to Spanish tapas restaurant. It's a romantic setting with an extensive list of wine that you can't pronounce. A year prior to going to Harvest Vine, we did a week long trip to Spain killing it tapas, mercados, and more tapas. It was a great experience to help me get hyped for the Harvest Vine was pre-meal. It was a good time at the Harvest Vine and we ordered it up here - blood sausage, squid with squid ink rice, beats, scallops, and desserts. The experience didn't teleport me to Spain, but it was good, fun and beautifully prepared. read more

First visit to Seattle, first visit to Harvest Vine! Both are amazing!! My friend Kerrie recommended this place. I'm so happy that I went. It was PERFECT!! I sat upstairs at the counter top area and watched dinners being made. Chatted with the chef's. It's one of those places where it's easy to hang out for a few hours. There were a lot of regulars, and people that had moved out of state. But, back in to town and during their visit made a point to eat here. It's that good! Here's what I had: Manchego and Charcuterie Baby green peppers, Pimientos Veal Meatballs Rabbit Scallops with Jamon froth Red Wine They change their menu a lot. I would definitely order the Scallops, baby green peppers and charcuterie. I kept it light for desert...little delicate cookies. If you want something more private they have another dining area downstairs. It's more romantic or for larger parties. The staff and regulars are super nice! Ask for Juan Carlos. He will make sure you sit in the best spot, relax and enjoy your meal. read more

My sweet fiance took me here for dinner a couple of weeks ago and it was such a great choice! The restaurant is very quaint, with a downstairs portion as well as the upstairs area near the open kitchen. The food is such high quality and I was blown away by how everything we ordered was very tasty. From the baguette to the homemade soup and meats platter to the scallops and venison, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience at The Harvest Vine. If you are looking for a date spot and aren't interested in a quick sit down dinner, this is the place for you. I want to go back and try more of the small plates because they were all incredibly unique and utilized the most in season ingredients available. read more

I've dined here many times and even included this place in a poem I wrote a few years ago. I recently took 12 friends here for my girlfriend's birthday, and we had the best time. The food was terrific, and everyone agreed. The service is excellent, with just the right amount of knowledge, checking in and attentiveness. The servers have great recommendations on what to order if you need some input. The location is quaint, and the atmosphere is cozy. I recommend sitting next to the kitchen on the street level if you have a small enough group, but downstairs is nice too. read more

Disclaimer - My review for this place is based on my experience here for a private party. I had been here a couple of years ago and loved it, but hadn't really been back so when asked to organize our team holiday party I jumped at the chance to eat well on the company budget. Carolin Messier returned my e-mails the very day we asked about booking a private party and worked with us to develop the menu for our group giving us numerous options so everything could come out perfect... and it was! We picked a few items that we absolutely wanted while she worked with the chef to fill in some seasonally fresh items. The downstairs cellar area was the perfect size for our group of 20 people. We had 6 different shared tapas, a choice of entree for everyone that just needs their own plate of something, a shared cheese course followed by a plate of 3 very generously portioned "mini" desserts for everyone - I loved that I didn't have to choose just one dessert. Service was excellent, the presentation impressed everyone and the whole room fell silent as everyone savored their entree. I can't recommend this place highly enough. read more

Great little tapas place! The prices are a little more expensive than average but well worth it for the food and unforgettable service. We sat at one of the tables on the main floor because the lower level was reserved for a party. The table was SMALL and I wondered how we'd ever fit 4 dinner plates, 4 wine glasses, 4 glasses of water, plus whatever dishes they were serving...but we managed with a little tetris. We asked for recommendations from the server and he was quick to steer us in the right direction. We also ordered a bottle of wine (which was also his recommendation) and it was delish. For me, the food alone would've warranted a 4 star rating...but it's the service that elevates it to a 5 star rating. Our party of 4 polished off the bottle of wine midway through the dinner but didn't want to get another bottle. Our server (who was probably the owner) came by with another bottle and topped up each of our glasses so that we could finish our meal with wine! And then we found out that a scallop dish only comes with 3 scallops but the chef decided we should each have one so added another one to our dish. Now that is service!! I'll definitely be back! read more

This is definitely the best Spanish restaurant I've been to in Seattle. Everything about it is authentic, elegant, and impressive. The restaurant looks tiny and busy (kitchen is open and right there) when you walk in, but there is also a room downstairs that is quite a bit quieter and more open. We'd made reservations and they still let us choose if we'd prefer the upstairs or downstairs, which was nice because they are different in atmosphere. Before we'd ordered anything, the waiter brought us a couple of small bruschettas with "Ensalada de Lengua" (braised beef tongue with peppers and aoili) to try. I was a little hesitant, but it was delicious and buttery, and went perfectly with my first sip of red wine. We split just a few dishes, which turned out to be plenty. Each dish was brought out individually, so we could really savor each one before moving on to the next. We started with the "almejas" (clams) which were served in a rich broth with baby chorizo sausages. The tomato broth was great for dipping the bread into too. Next we had the "Coliflor" which was roasted (in an abundance of oil) with an onion confit. I have never tasted such flavorful and sweet cauliflower. We then had the "Vieiras" (scallops) served with a bacon sauce and caramelized onions. These melted in your mouth- amazing. We ended the night with the flan, which was probably the least exciting of the dishes, but good nonetheless. Overall, I was just blown away by the quality of the food and the wine. The service was great and I felt completely relaxed the entire time. I can't wait to go back and try the other dishes. They have quite an extensive "specials" menu so I am sure there will be plenty of new plates to try the next time. read more

Didn't know about Madison Valley until The Harvest Vine. Nice location because it's close to Capitol Hill (minus all the bars and clubs), with cute shops and restaurants near lake Washington. Went on a Monday night. They have bar seating at the store front, and a more private room downstairs where all the wine is stored. It's a cute, rustic, cozy/cabin-like place that's got a warm feel to it. The wine selection is more than what you can ask for and decently priced. The menu is kind of hard to interpret so I'd highly ask the waiter to provide some explanations and suggestions. The recommendation was to order 2-3 dishes per person and we ordered a total of 4 dishes between 2 people + bread + dessert and it was just enough. Dishes - Beets salad was lovely. Thinly sliced red and gold beets, drenched in olive oil. I'm used to some nuts and goat cheese accompanying the beets but this dish was all about the olive oil. Definitely get some bread to make use of all the olive oil goodness here. - Roasted peppers. They were roasted beautifully and the portion was actually larger than I thought-- dish had around 20 small roasted peppers. Tasty as a little appetizer, but there were so many other dishes that I would have probably opted for another one since I felt like this was something I could make at home. - Squid ink calamari. This was an interesting dish-- basically 3 boiled/cooked squid bodies in whole form (so no tentacles or anything like that), covered in an ink sauce. Wasn't particularly delicious, but definitely a site to see and creative. - Pork with potatoes. The description of the pork made it seem like this was one special pig that went through some special process so we had to order it, and it was fantastic. The meat tasted like a steak and was tender and juicy. The potatoes that accommodated it were amazing as well- not mashed, cubed or whole...but kind of a combination of sliced/mashed. Really good. Only complaint is it was a little over salted. Presentation was still beautiful. - Olive oil cake- tender and juicy (yup, didn't think cake would be juicy so that was an interesting twist). Came with a dollop of whipped cream and caramel. Wish there was more caramel. Ambiance: cute, cozy, warm, intimate, cabin-like but nice Food: great selection, pretty presentation, but 3 stars on the taste Service: Waiter was excellent and the pacing of food was perfect read more
