    Get the burger (only available at lunch). Topped w/ Idiazábal/sliced cornichons/pickled onions/crème fraîche, homemade mayo w/ garlic and guindilla peppers. Tomcat bun. AMAZING

    Tiny portions. Ends up being quite pricey. That said, the octopus carpaccio, arraultza, lamb meatballs, and squid ribbons! Yummyyyyy. The pochas is mostly beans and barely any mussels. Disappointing.

    Dude. The pour of cider was disappointingly tiny. I don't care how special it is. If you're running low, say you're sold out instead of charging me $10 for a dribble. Delicious but weak even for tapas

    Service was poor. Waitress kept us waiting even though restaurant was pretty empty. Asparagus was disappointing, croquettes were good but order only brings two. Overall it was forgettable.
