Description
While rooted in Spanish cooking, the kitchen blends traditional recipes with modern touches across a broad menu of meats, seafood, and signature options like chicken villaroy. The selection also steps outside Spain to incorporate Mexican dishes and Italian-style plates. Meals unfold in an elegant dining room centered on fresh preparation and attentive service.
