Spanish Tapas. A super fun place with awesome tapas and a great wine list. It’s on the noisy side, so maybe not the place for a romantic dinner, but definitely great food and wine! Lots of other restaurants and bars nearby so you can just park and walk if you want to make a whole night out in the same area. Reservations recommended.
