    • This is a small paladar/bar set on two levels with lots of heavy wood which has been nicely decorated, cluttered it may be but it is also cute and gives a sense of having been lived in without being too stuffy. Upstairs is generally a bit quieter especially if you are not a fan of classical violin (it is all right not to be!). Service is typically very good although like many places can be a little variable and if it is quiet can be a little over attentive. They do a great cocktail.
