Gaelic Tapas Adventure

For a retirement luncheon, I tried Spanish tapas and trendy Galician dishes called Tomiño, located in Soho/Little Italy. Our lunch menu:

• Costillas de Cordero: lamb on chestnut puree with au jus - the lamb was not too chewy and not too soft. 
• Sardines: I passed but it looked good. 
• Tortilla de "Betanzos": a town famous for its runny egg with potatoes - one can get the egg runny (the traditional kind), which has a little more sauce and soft. A well-cooked version is more drier and more potato. This is a popular dish to be ordered in the restaurant. 
• Butternut salad: endive, firmer butternut walnut, goat cheese in balsamic vinaigrette - the ingredients puts a balance between the strong taste of the goat cheese and sweetness. 
• Parrillada de Setas: wild mushroom, grapes sauce, goat cheese in honey sauce - nothing to say but pretty good.
• Octopus - grilled with a little more spice.
• Firey chorizo - slightly spicey Spanish sausages, served in an open flame. It was an ok dish where tiny chorizos were served in smaller skewers. 

If you want to try an upscale Spanish tapas with a trendy atmosphere, this is a place to be.
