| Launched as a tapas specialist in the 1990s, Vega Tapas Café has evolved, these days giving the small Spanish-inspired dishes little more than lip service. Tilting to a more pan-Mediterranean theme, influences and traditions appear mixed seemingly at random. The result is sometimes whimsical, sometimes overdone, but on the whole reliably fun. Seared salmon is served over baby greens with fried shallots and grilled red onions. Tempura frogs’ legs are placed lightly over creamed spinach, while sautéed veal sweetbreads are accented with crimini mushrooms and sherry butter. Diners appreciate the corkage amnesty every Sunday evening and the half-price wines on Mondays. Stop in on Tuesdays for $2 tapas and sangría specials. On Wednesdays, all wines by the glass are $5 in the evening. |
