  • Tapas are really good, but be sure to get the 1905 salad. The smaller potion goes well with the tapas! by Jlove3232 Sun 07/22/2012 12:00 AM Joined Jul 2012 7 Posts 14 Restaurant Visits

    Sit near a window, order a 1905 salad and enjoy the view!

    Make a reservation for an hour before sunset. Request a view of the sunset; the west end of the south-facing side is best. You can watch small planes take off and land, too.

    IF you wait, it's worth it. Enjoy the company, the food and the ambience. Just like Spain! It's all about the experience and not rushed out.
