We also did wine pairing, $50 per person. The wines paired very well with the food, elevating the experience. I also got a Rojo vermouth for $14, which was citrusy and bitter, the way I enjoy my vermouth. We also added Jamon de Iberico for $30, which was subpar for Iberico. Out of all the Iberico I have tried, ~50 times, it was my least favorite. It was dry and not juicy or rich or glazed with the nice fatty oil. But the tomato-pasted bread the jamon came with was very good, crispy and yummy. Next time, I would rather try Spanish olives or Spanish olive oil, instead of jamon, which I really love. Our server Leone was very excited and pleasant, especially when explaining Spanish wines. Leone did such an amazing job. The whole experience for 3 individuals, with tax and tip, costed $500 total. It was worth the money, especially for a special occasion we had. One can also go for a more affordable option by ordering less alcohol and separate tapas, but we really enjoyed our experience. It was also the closest we got to Spanish food experience without going to Spain. Their 2 bathrooms were clean and nice, with a special encased flush system inside the toilet tank that uses less water per flush (I don't usually check out toilet tanks at restaurants; this was a special case). Parking ended up being $8 for 3 hours with validation at a parking lot across from the restaurant. We ate continously for 2 hours and 15 minutes. We were not rushed, but food and wine came promptly and without a pause. We recommend this restaurant to those wanting good food and wine that is true to Galacia and Spain."

That said, the portions of some dishes, like the jamón ibérico, pan con tomate, and croquetas, felt a bit small, and they could definitely serve a little more. Overall, everything else was excellent, and the service was very good. I would still recommend this restaurant."
