  We visited this restaurant four months ago after viewing the small plate menu online and being very intrigued. I would have rated that visit with a full five stars. The small plates gave us a great way to share and sample many of the different global fusion-themed dishes on the menu. We actually booked an adjacent hotel for our next visit so we could both take advantage of the cocktail menu. However, on our return visit, we found the entire menu revamped and most of the interesting small plates replaced by tired gastropub standards. They weren't nearly as good and we much preferred the earlier menu. The second visit was more in the two star territory.

  The atmosphere is not my personal taste. The drinks and service are great, though.

  Really cool place on North Atherton, away from College Avenue, but not too far. It is slowly moving away from its roots as a tapas restaurant, and now serves a good fusion that incorporates part of its tapas past. pricing is fair and the service is excellent..
