Pimientos de Padron - tasty (but not spicy?) with a nice hint of saltiness but not sure it is worth the £4.60?

Grilled Quail with Al-i-Oli - oh yummy....love this from the first bite! The quail is just about cook which makes the meat so tender and juicy

Chipirones (deep fried octopus) - great texture between the crispiness of the batter and the silky fresh octopus

Barrafina 4
Baby Gem Salad with Anchovies and Smoked Pancetta - This was recommended by the waitress and it is so-so for me but Scott likes it. I am just not a big fan of whole anchovies per se but chopped and added to pasta sauce is a different matter

Chorizo + potatoes + watercress

Prawn and Piquillo Pepper Tortilla - Just cooked tortilla so the egg is not chewy.yum
It was an enjoyable dinner with a great buzz but the place is intimate enough to enjoy dinner for 2 without bumping elbows even though we are all sitting at the bar. But I am undecided if it is better than Boca de Lupo. I had good memories there as I brought Scott there for his birthday dinner so maybe it is hard to compete in that sense.
