Maynard&Child OlivesFebruary 14, 2012Good Spanish tapas in a small dark setting. Bring your own wine, no cork fee and they pour for you. Hit it up, get your buzz on and then go to 31ten down the street and dance off those tapas.
Jasmeet GillJuly 17, 2013Amazing food, BYOB. Get anything that combines meat and cheese. No corkage fee!! Oh the meatballs are amazingUpvoted Oct 12
Keith PetersenJuly 2, 2023Great food and atmosphere. Service was friendly as are owners. It’s small so reserve in advance. 4-5 items good for 2. Authentic tapas like this hard to find- BollareSeptember 30, 2011A cozy restaurant with the best Spanish tapas in LA. Perfect for a romantic date or a relaxing dinner with friends. BYOB and no reservations, so show up early if you’re with a large group. —Sophie
Meg FarmerOctober 8, 2014BYOB tapas. Do the bacon wrapped dates for sure. Super intimate, great date spot.
Garrett PendergraftMay 20, 2018Great atmosphere but not many tables, so I would definitely recommend making a reservation.- BYOB and food you just can't go wrong with. The zucchini plate and the meatballs- so good!
Felix SalmonApril 1, 2017The atmosphere is great. The food, not so much. Don't offer jamón iberico if you don't actually have one!
Thomas Vander SticheleJune 21, 2017Cute place. Food is good but not great. If this place was in Spain would not go a second time. Mostly the easy tapas. A big nono was giving us what at best was prosciutto instead of the jamón serrano.
Veggie lasagna, Tres Sabores Rosé, Beet & Goat cheese salad, Jamon wrapped dates!
Tony EmmentAugust 16, 2015There are so many excellent dishes. The dates wrapped in ham are delicious.
Emily Van NordenDecember 30, 2009no corkage fee here is one of the (not so) best kept secrets in SM. bring your favorite bottle and favorite friend and have some of their great tapas.- Renee TringaliJuly 2, 2011Melted Brie and fig tapas.... Delicious!!!! Bring your own bottle (s) of wine :) no cork fee!
- Felix SalmonApril 1, 2017Not BYOB any more! They have a beer and wine license... but somehow have contrived not to carry any sherry. Tapas fail!
Everyone is right about the goat cheese & fig toast. Comes with a side of amazeballs when taken as a dessert.
Marton VaroFebruary 23, 2010The calamari tapa is to die for. But then so is most of the menu. Grab a a bottle of wine next door and order away!
Jenny SamppalaSeptember 30, 2010If you forget the wine, the liquor store next door has a decent selection.

"The tavern delivers on many fronts. It's a community bar, no cover is always a plus, it's got a great bar menu, and did we forget to mention it's in a historic Victorian home"
AskMen - 9.0
"Try Their pizza! Awesome! They serve parmesan cheese, herb and olive oil as condiment with pizzas, which "amplify" the taste of pizza."
