Top flight and outside the CBD. We ate croquettes, octopus, papas bravas, lamb skewers, salad, and on and on. Delicious and savory dishes all accompanied with a dry pink Spanish cava. Camilla and staff were gracious and diligent. We had a memorable evening indeed. Thank you making for our last holiday night in Melbourne memorable. We return to America happy.
