    Visited the Distillery District and booked a table for two at Madrina. We had never been to a Tapas restaurant before, and this definitely set the bar high. Our favourite dish was the IBÉRICO PORK SECRETO STEAK — delicious. Other highlights were TORTILLA DE PATATAS and CATALAN CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS. Note: I have a shellfish allergy, so we didn't have any of the dishes that have those items.
