    The restaurant week menu was not edible. Everything was mushy, oily, or deep fried. Totally lacking in freshness.

    Meh, this place is really not worth the money or time. You're paying (a lot) for atmosphere and not for food.

    Based on (and drawn in by) the great reviews, I was rather underwhelmed. Tapas were okay but really nothing special.
