We
had
a
really
fantastic
first
meal
here
on
Sunday.
We
were
a
group
of
four
(3
adults,
one
child)
and
arrived
shortly
after
the
1
PM
opening
and
many
tables
were
already
taken,
and
the
food
aromas
were
incredible-a
good
sign!
The
interior
is
intimate
but
not
cramped,
with
space
in
Piermont
being
at
a
premium.
Overall,
we
had
a
great
experience
with
food
and
service
and
would
return.
The
restaurant
itself
is
not
so
fancy
that
you
absolutely
must
dress
up,
and
I
also
consider
it
child
friendly
for
well
behaved
children,
considering
we
had
a
six
year
old
with
us.
Food
ordered:
*
Albondigas
picante
(spicy
meatballs)-These
were
on
point
with
flavor
and
spice.
The
meatballs
and
the
sauce
were
delicious
and
great
for
dipping
bread
into.
*
Pulpo
a
la
plancha
(my
personal
choice
since
I
love
octopus)-I
don’t
know
what’s
in
Galician
seasoning,
but
this
dish
was
outstanding.
The
octopus
was
incredibly
tender
and
I
don’t
think
I’ve
ever
had
octopus
cooked
that
well.
It
was
a
flavorful
and
fun
dish.
*
Vieiras
rellenas
(stuffed
scallop
shells)-These
were
good
but
let’s
not
kid
ourselves,
the
thick
slice
of
Applewood
bacon
was
the
star.
The
filling
was
good
but
a
bit
too
much
breadcrumb
flavor
for
my
personal
taste.
I
felt
it
overpowered
the
seafood.
*
Gambas
al
ajillo
(shrimp
in
garlic
sauce)-This
was
probably
my
favorite
dish,
tied
with
the
octopus.
The
shrimp
was
very
well
seasoned
and
flavorful
and
cooked
well.
*
Croquetas
del
dia
(croquettes
of
the
day)-These
were
fine,
I
don’t
recall
the
specific
variety
offered
that
day
but
they
were
fried
and
crispy
on
the
outside,
and
creamy
on
the
inside.
I
thought
they
could
have
used
a
bit
more
seasoning
but
the
sauce
on
the
side
(mayo-based,
aioli
perhaps?)
went
well
with
them.
*
Marisco
paella
for
two
(seafood
paella)-
The
portion
is
incredibly
generous
for
2,
and
considering
all
the
other
dishes
the
4
of
us
had
previously,
we
managed
to
get
through
maybe
a
third
of
the
skillet.
I’m
not
the
biggest
fan
of
the
texture/appearance
of
mussels
and
clams,
which
this
dish
is
generous
with,
so
this
wasn’t
my
choice,
but
I
enjoyed
the
other
seafood
and
the
rice
itself
was
flavorful.
However,
I
was
looking
for
the
crispy
bottom
and
though
some
of
the
rice
was
a
bit
toothsome,
I
missed
the
crispiness
that
paella
is
famous
for.
There
were
several
scallops
and
shrimp
and
a
few
scant
pieces
of
squid
that
were
devoured.
We
were
completely
stuffed
so
of
course,
had
to
order
dessert.
I
chose
the
churros
con
chocolate,
which
were
thinner
and
more
crispy
and
less
chewy
than
any
churros
I’ve
had
previously.
They
were
delicious
and
I
really
enjoyed
the
texture
and
the
sauce
that
came
with
them.
My
MIL
chose
the
apple
galette,
which
similarly
was
well
made,
flavorful,
and
incredibly
delicious.
I
had
a
glass
of
rose
sangria
that
was
fine.
I
usually
drink
and
serve
sangria
cold
and
there
were
a
few
ice
cubes
but
the
drink
was
room
temperature.
I
sometimes
make
sangria
at
home
and
it
was
no
better
than
any
that
I’ve
made,
minus
a
point
because
it
was
warm.
I
had
a
pineapple
mimosa
after
that,
which
was
good.
Overall,
my
personal
favorite
dishes
were
the
octopus;
shrimp;
meatballs;
and
the
churros.
The
food
came
out
quickly,
the
service
was
attentive,
refills
were
offered,
clean
plates
were
given
for
the
paella,
and
overall,
we
had
a
great
meal
and
experience.
