Description
This wine-and-tapas joint is the third eatery in this spot from restaurateurs Jack and Grace Lamb. Gargantuan shrimp are so good you ought to suck the savory juices out of the head, and a modern take on the roast-beef sandwicha tower of tender meat and microgreens on a toasted rye round with onion marmalade and foie gras mayodelights. A $50 tasting menu includes five courses, but we suggest you check out what other diners are eating and choose what looks best.

Tries far too hard. The giant shrimp referred to in the above comment is ONE shrimp, for 16 bucks, and the lamb was burnt. The menu was over-complicated and there should have been more focus on the quality and quantity of the food. We get the idea of tapas - but this was insulting. Go to Bocqueria.
