Last night I had dinner at and let me tell you, it was heaven! This tiny place is a gem where the food is delicious,delectable and divine - or was it the Chef?
I might have to say both.
Degustation serves Tapas Extraordinaires - small exquisite dishes from Spain- that melt in your mouth. The restaurant only seats 16people around a large bar that faces Chef Wesley Genovart, from which Ihad a hard time taking my eyes off except when the food was hitting mypalate, forcing me to close my eyes to fully enjoy the pleasure ofeating.
This talented and gorgeous Spaniard in his late late twenties is so charming, I would not advise bringing a date. It would be best to gowith someone who enjoys the sensual food delights as much as you andwho will be happy starring at the Chef view with you!
