The grilled asparagus—cooked with a unique method in a Josper charcoal grill—ensures that the natural juices are retained. This crowd pleaser is served with thin slices of Serrano ham, egg with hints of paprika and sherry vinaigrette. Gambas al pil-pil are prawns served on a sizzling platter, enhanced by a sauce of olive oil, garlic and hot peppers. The paella options include seafood, meat, mixed and vegetarian varieties; the seafood version has chewy squid, sea bass, mussels, delicate clams and shrimp accompanying the aromatic saffron rice, cooked and served in a round, shallow pan. The wine list offers a variety of Spanish labels, as well as traditional chilled sangria.
