Right idea, poor execution--Eva

It's tiny and it has a certain charm. We love tapas so we were intrigued. HOWEVER, they fired all of our dishes at once so we had SIX dishes sitting on our tiny table at once. Hello? This meant that our meal was over in like 38 minutes. Not cool. So while we would have ordered more drinks, the meal was over so quickly, we just decided to cut our losses and go somewhere else.

The food, while not BAD was totally uninspired. Nothing had any focus. Too many ingredients, nothing seemed to have any soul. The Brussel Sprouts were good. The shrimp and grits was pretty good (well, at least the grits and the egg part of the dish were good), The oink oink oink and gnocchi were underseasoned., the mac and cheese was a mess, our crab salad had a piece of metal in it (although the waitress did take it off of our bill). Nothing that we ate was anything to write home about. Maybe the pizzas are good? We didn't try them, but if you're going to have pizza, go to settabello.

Salt Lake is in DIRE need of THIS restaurant, but executed properly. Dangit, is all I can say. We had high hopes.
