The grilled shrimp (7 large prawns) were well prepared. Delicious! To be eaten finger peelin' style.  Finger bowl provided.
The tiny lentil salad appetizer was wonderful but not available as a salad in large portion😞.
Variety of wines by the glass at US$6.

Kind bartender service. Maitre d' service at the door was poor.

Ordered
1. Gambas. Very nice
2. Deep fried calamari. Nice
3. Chorizo beef steak. Ordered medium rare. Came out medium. Thin. Steak is better elsewhere.

Lively atmosphere. Very pricey for similar authentic fare. Expect to pay more than 32k+ per person for a full meal with drink.

We did not eat here but would have loved to have tried their food. However, the service leaves much to be desired. We walked in to an empty restaurant at 7.40pm, with only two ladies about to finish their dinner and the host decided to sit us in the furthest, darkest corner, away from anything and everything. I asked why could we not sit anywhere else and he said they were fully booked in 20 mins. The restaurant has easily 50 seats, I find it hard to believe that he could not do any better and that they would be fully booked within the next 20 minutes. It basically seemed like they did not want us there. Fair enough if that was the case, your house your rules but don't try to fill us with nonsense. You don't want our money then fine, we happily went and spent it at another restaurant who were delighted to have us. Its a real shame, given how much competition there is in the area. There are tonnes of very good restaurants nearby. Hence don't waste your time, go elsewhere.

The food is amazing I have to say. Try the jamón crudo a la manera Tancat. Very tasty and have a wine of Malbec next to it. Then also the pasta with shrimp was amazing. The service was a bit slow but it is acceptable.

I had the grilled squid/shrimp/mushrooms and side salad. It was good, but not seasoned so it relies on the natural flavor of the seafood. The lentils and bread is a great little into though, very enjoyable. I would return to try more of their offerings.
