Atmosphere: dim lights, white restaurant, romantic enough for a date, comfortable enough for a friendly evening.
Dress code: smart casual, or whatever you want but keep in mind that it's located in Central district and also close to after-dinner drinks and dancing in LKF
Service: New, unexperienced, under staffed. Needs improvement.
Cuisine: Says it's "Spanish" but the menu is more like fusion: Spanish-influenced.

The Bread Basket bread: was the best dish in my opinion and the most memorable. A fresh tomato paste that was a bit salty and juicy was spread on a toasted slice of baguette. Very crunchy and appetizing!

Platter of assorted Spanish Ham: Satisfying but not amazing

This was one of my favs. It was dried fish eggs served with macadamia nuts. The dried fish eggs actually remind me of the Taiwanese appetizers. And it tasted much the same except they added a zest of lemon juice, olive oil and herbs which was a nice touch.

Sardines number one

sardines number 2: I remember they were tasty but a bit salty for my liking
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTqUKpc3g4Facr8aMe4-442qYcUjwfCgwFXY2Q5CA1MiSD3FKiq25h52COVCPVOlHeTElWJv_XsI6LTPm8J6zyzM6Y5ynpBKcsKtTshbasJ6Yzp4bGRmv0mcSYn8SyuZqFKbNA4dQcp6OJ/s400/IMG_3042.JPG)
Then they served more of the "bread basket bread" but cut into smaller slices. This was really good but- too much! As they served this alongside with almost every dish we ordered, our entire table was overfilled with the "bread basket bread".
- And we are no carb-avores.

DO NOT ORDER THE ABOVE DISH. I don't remember what it was, I still don't know what it is from the picture, and you don't want to know what it is. All it is, is DISAPPOINTING.

The Scallops:
aside from the "bread-basket bread" THIS WAS MY FAV. It was like scallop sashimi served in their secret sauce, served cold. It was juicy, slimy and oh-so-good.
And I forced my cousin to eat it, and she LAHVED it even though she HATES scallops.

JUICY JUMBO SHRIMPS. Another VERY GOOD dish. Order it.

The suckling pigs: Not the best. I remember having better. Much better.

Fish Tar Tar served with a bit of a cold sorbet.
THIS WAS SURPRISINGLY GOOD. Although it might look a bit blob-ish. IT'S GOOD. Just ask my cousin, whom I force feed everything she thinks she doesn't like and ends up LAHVING it. Ha ha.

Risotto with Black Truffle:
It might sound good, it might look good, it's not good. At all.
It was like eating thick rice porridge in creamy yellow sauce, served with over-cooked, thick-as-salami slices of truffles that have no truffle taste.

Lobster Paella:
Unless you're really hungry you should sacrifice your diet to devour a large pan of carb. Otherwise, it's really not worth it.

DESSERT TIME!!!!

Crema Catalana?
I think this was the dish but it didn't look like it or taste like it. A bit too milk-like tasting and quite frankly, forgetful.

Churros with Chocolate
As a Churro fan, this was disappointing, but then again where can you really find good churros in HK? So I would say if you haven't tasted the churros at Disneyland L.A. Then you can order it.

THE CHURRO
Eat it while it's hot. (It's better)

THE VANILLA ICE CREAM
Although this was the "side" of the churro dessert, it was actually my favorite part of dessert. Vanilla ice-cream with the dots of vanilla bean visible = THE BEST.
***
FINAL VERDICT: Once is enough, no regrets. Unless I'm really in need of a place to eat in Central and have no reservations or seats elsewhere.
