Sabor

Dinner seemed to progressively get better as each course went on; a number of very well executed dishes with no real disappointments. Choice of two set menus with substitutions allowed for those with dietary restrictions.

Upon arrival, were served the classic Pan con Tomate. First course was Portabello Mushroom Benedict. Not sure how Spanish that is, but all components were well executed, the Egg perfectly cooked and the right amount of sauce and the Portabello soft but chewy in texture adding contrast. Standout dishes included the Crispy Suckling Pork, which was soft and tender on the inside with crispy skin on the outside and star dish of the night was the Squid stuffed with Rice and Pork covered in Squid Ink (pictured, apologies for the bad quality of photo). Seafood paella didn't stand out, though was finished quickly and with no complaints. Clams in Fish Sauce were fresh and the sauce delicately balanced. Grilled Cuttlefish with Green Alioli was nice given the freshness of the fish, though nothing particularly memorable. Garlic Shrimp and Chorizo in Apple Cider were tasty but nothing special. The Ham Croquette was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Desserts were a Catalan Cream Pudding that was nearly fought over and a cup of Tiramisu served with mixed berry ice cream, which was more pedestrian. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable meal with friendly service, intimate setting and free corkage.
