This was truly a culinary tasting adventure: 23 Spanish tapas-styled dishes spanning over 2 hours. And the best part - every one of them incorporated some aspect of molecular gastronomy; a science-infused dinner for the curious at heart! It was unlike any experience we had ever had before.

Reservations are advised because this place is packed! We first came here for dinner in Sept 2012 and had … [Read more...]
