Stylish wine-forward spot with modern Spanish small plates, standout artichoke, pastrami bikini, and cheesecake; lively vibe but time limits and occasional service friction can jar an otherwise enjoyable evening.

One caveat: Time limits (1.5–2 hours) actively enforced, sometimes early, causing rushed feeling
