What Pietro Rodriguez doesn't like about El Tenedor:
The food was excellent but a little pricey for the portions received. Service was challenging as the server didn't speak / understand English very well. When asked about the cork fees, we were told $ 55 ... So we went with the Shiraz (Copper Moon) house and that was $ 55 for a bottle of wine that retails for about $ 7 ... Everything So in all good food, WAY past the price! View all feedback.

This is what excellence tastes like. Top resto in the city. Highly recommended. Unbelievable Basque and Catalan cuisine.

El Tenedor, a hidden gem in the neighborhood, offers exceptional Spanish Basque cuisine in a quiet intimate setting. While the prices can be a bit high, Taco Tuesdays during happy hour are a must-try. The food is described as inventive, delicious, and beautifully presented, with standout dishes like velvety leek soup, liquid olives, and duck with chocolate and orange. The attentive staff and personalized service make for a memorable dining experience, reminiscent of meals enjoyed in Spain or France. Overall, this restaurant comes highly recommended for those seeking a fine dining experience with unique and flavorful dishes.
