Jose Garces has brought tapas to Philadelphia. In a comfortable, rustic room hung with hams and sausages, an atmospheric bar turns out designer cocktails, red and white sangrĂa, and wine from Spain and South America. The tapas---think duck breast, Cabrales cheese and figs, cod croquettes and garrotxa (a goat cheese)---are attractively displayed. If you want the full experience, book a table in the large, wraparound dining area served by a bustling open kitchen. Lobster paella is a house specialty, served for two; or try the grilled meats and seafood. If you plan in advance, a whole roasted pig with all the trimmings feeds a party of four or more.
