Food Scene
The food and service are amazing. Best seat in the house is at the bar, where you can watch some magic happen - the cocktails are as on point as the food. Easily my number one go-to spot for dinner.

This just opened (as of 12/17) spot features Northern Spain influenced tapas. The exterior is a little odd, but inside is a cool, hip place.
I love a lot of the menu (the clams are to-die-for delicious, as is the tomato bread), and really like their cocktail program. Solid wine list to boot. Although it's a tapas place, I prefer the pintxos (little bites - just a buck during happy hour!) and raciones (large plates) menus.
