great classic spanish food in a lovely atmosphere. nearly all of the seating is outdoors on the terrace and there's an adjacent playground for the littles that's totally enclosed so that they can have fun while you do too. try the salad with oranges and olives and cod. sounds strange but it's surprisingly delightful.
