The seating may be cramped, the volume deafening, and the dishes tiny, but the food totally rocks at this new age tapas bar, including octopi the size of a pencil eraser matched with white beans nearly as small, and a sunny-side up duck egg flopped over truffled potatoes and decorated with mojama;curls of air-cured tuna loin like ham from outer space. Vegetables cooked "a la plancha on a griddle, like those you might find in a Greek diner;are also worth considering, especially the brussels sprouts and the balsamic-glazed parsnips. Bring an expert to negotiate the Spanish wine list.
