text: This place is just down the road from me and I wish I frequented it more often It is got a distinct DC Ranch vibe so be forewarned you should put on your nice shoes before you head out The food is so vibrant though Do not expect the stuffy steaks and salmon fillets you would find at other spots in the neighborhood nnIve been a couple of times and each time I have been pleased The atmosphere is lively and loud but it is got an intimate classy interior and a rockin patio that overlooks the McDowells I have heard people complain that the employees are too stuffy but I have never had a problem Their bar rules the cocktails are pricey but extremely satisfying and the desserts do not disappointnnI just have to go ahead and recommend about every damn thing on the menu It is constantly revolving so I will not get too specific but think spicy Spanish plates to share They have excellent homefrylike little nuggets of spuds that are dipped in a spicy red aoili and fried up I had a piece of grouper that was unbelievable And the beef spare rib fell off the bone and had some nice spice and smokiness nnOverall it is a great weekend spot even better with a bigger group so you can try lots of plates and share It is hard to find any tapas spots this far north and it is certainly one of the better spots in the neighborhood
