Great tapas joint downtown. Chef owner and her husband have elBulli in their pedigrees. Food offerings are exceptional, Spanish wine list is impressive, service is professional, and price point ain't off for the experience. This place would crush it in most cities .

Keep it on the list. Great experience if you like Spanish food.

I'm too lazy. And our trip is too haphazard to warrant reporting.

Blackbird was also really good

Thanks, C! Likely going low key with a few brews at Pack's Bar this evening before I settle in for some hockey...a sport for which I cannot recite a single, damn rule...but I really like the violence...

Wicked Weed still blowing and going over there, or did you notice any backlash from their recent sale to AB/InBev?

I did not get a chance to visit. Sorry I can't offer an opinion. But, for a modest hourly fee, I will conjure up some bullshite and stand behind it. Ha

Wife and I were in AVL on a Saturday night in mid-May and I wanted a couple of beers after dinner. We walked in and I was surprised to see two empty seats at the bar, and empty tables inside.

They do a really good spinach dish that comes out decent at home too:

Will try it. I picked up the cookbook, and I think just about every dish we tried the other day is available only in it. Can't wait to get home and start wasting money. Ha
