Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking
From the parking lot, you can smell the sweet smoke that billows out of the restaurant’s two roaring, wood-burning ovens. In what feels like a backyard oasis fit with a spacious patio, find a hazy, sun-lit dining room where Chef Chris Hastings pulls inspiration from Spain and Latin America. Much of the food is cooked in cast-iron skillets. From Spanish omelets dotted with chorizo vinaigrette to charred empanadas to finely-seared scallops set in ajo blanco sauce, the tapas-style menu does not shy away from flavor and is fully designed for sharing. For dessert, spiced molasses crème brûlée makes for a sweet send-off.
