The waiter was knowledgeable, prompt, and polite (but not overly polite). And the drinks were amazing! There are many times that you pay for a fancy drink in a martini glass and feel that you've been overcharged and are just paying for ambiance or something, but that was not the case here. I highly recommend the Lolita.
And the food was wonderful and creative. I'd tried another tapas place a week or two ago, where the food was good and filling but didn't leave me craving another visit there. Not like the food here. I can't wait until the next time I can have the Gambas Rebozadas and the Palmeritos.
Finally, a restaurant that lived up to its hype. The setting was wonderful- they have the nicest drop ceiling that I've ever seen. As I learned from the nice man who showed us to our table the restaurant is located in the old Hotel Vendome- scene of a terrible fire many years ago that left several firefighters dead.

Followup- I had my birthday celebration here in April. They were very accomodating, espcially when the group before us overstayed their welcome in the lounge that I'd reserved. The staff did what they could to politely shoo the group out and offered us some sangria for our 20 minutes of trouble.
