They are appetizers that can accompany sherry or other apertifs or cocktails, or they can form an entire meal. While most tapas establishments of our acquaintance serve their dishes buffet-style, the restaurant here in Columbia carefully prepares each dish to order after diners select from a menu. A diner can order individually, or a group can order a wide variety of dishes and pass them around to be sampled by everyone. The latter process is a fun-filled, exciting experience that we recommend as a helpful antidote for springtime ennui. Always, there is a soup of the day.
