Those looking for a touch of romance alongside their tapas and paella need go no further than this downtown gem. The relaxing outdoor patio, lushly draped with greenery, is one of the city’s best-kept secrets, while the indoor dining room welcomes guests with warm décor and flickering candles. The menu focuses on authentic Spanish recipes and includes a wide selection of tapas as well as full-size entrées. Share a plate of mussels in wine cream sauce or cured sausage and manchego cheese. As a main course, try the wine-marinated rabbit, braised lamb shank or pan-seared hazelnut-crusted salmon. Indulge in one of the many Spanish wines and desserts, including orange cream topped with caramelized oranges or chocolate truffles in white chocolate soup.
