Everything was wonderful! Food and drinks were very unique. Beautiful place and loved the fact that music was not loud as it seems to be the case in most places these days. One tiny issue I had was how long cocktails took to get ready which discouraged us to order a second drink.

Patria is absolutely divine. The ambience and decor and lighting are all designed to provide a comfortable and comforting setting for the enjoyment of their exquisite food. Every dish we've eaten there is delicious, interesting, well-conceived in terms of texture and flavour, and perfectly satisfying, i.e. filling without being too much. The range of options on the menu is extensive, and the wait staff is helpful for navigating the sometimes-confusing experience of ordering in a small-plates restaurant. Service is super fast, so if you want a long evening to linger with your companions, it's up to you to eat slow (or order the paella, which take 45 minutes to prepare).
