Went with a friend on Halloween, friend just finished dancing lesson on Austin Avenue, she wanted to eat nearby, I wanted to avoid the crowd in Knutsford terrace, so we compromised on Observatory Road.
Have been craving paella for a few days so decided to choose a Spanish restaurant. It was quite difficult to find, but once you get to the top of Observatory Road, turn right and you'ld be shown to the door (by a waitress dressed as a witch on this particular day).
We ordered a dinner set for 2, $338, includes: - 3 tapas (ordered mushroom, prawns with chili, Moorish kebab) - 1 salad of your choice - 1 small soup each (can be different soup for each person, we had oxtail and tomato herbal gazpacho) - either a chicken and chorizo (they call it sausage) paella, or a seafood broth, we chose the former
Another friend joined us halfway, and ordered a rack of lamb.
bread basket came with mayo and tomato, the baguette was hot, crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Mushroom was a bit bland, kebab was too salty and on dry side, prawns were so-so, tomato soup was ok, oxtail was too peppery (whole pepper corns), salad was a good portion, paella was nice, but a bit too wet and oily, chicken used was "frozen fresh" kind so not much chicken flavour to it. Rack of lamb was nice, double ribs for each piece, 2 pieces in total, nice juicy meat, did not taste "so".
The only thing is they refuse to give you iced water, so we had to buy bottled water instead.
