    A very pleasant evening started off poorly after one look at the wine list. The outrageous prices put off our entire group and ruined what otherwise would have been a lovely dinner. We found nothing close to $100, everything was much more. Lots of $1,000 plus wines. We found a delicious Rioja, but at $250 this is 300% markup. Also, for a chef known for paella, what was served was a watery Alicante version with little flavor and no socarrat—explained away by a waiter as being too difficult to serve. Very disappointing. We came, we tasted, we won’t be back.
