Sounds delicious. One question though, is the Caprese Roll the ingredients listed rolled up or it it like a wrap?

I like the Bar but those Food Prices are ridiculous IMO...It's like the wife always says though "It's 30-A"....What happened to The Old Management by the way?

Knowing Fire those are very reasonable and you'll get your monies worth as they've never scrimped on portions. It's also primarily a wine bar and not an eatery so these are essentially snakes or appetizers.

Sounds utterly delicious! Those prices aren't that bad either for what you get.

Having lived in Los Angeles when Tapas were the in thing in the early to mid 90's I am not a Fan....a friend of mine used to say Tapas in Spanish means...."not much food for alot of money"...we used to go as a group of 4 spend about 200 dollars on Tapas and Drinks....leave all still fairly hungry and invariably stop at In N Out for a Double Double and a Shake on the way home....that is the reason most Tapas Places are long out of business...since I consider this more of a bar than an eatery it is not a apples to apples comparison....I like the place cause it's the only place I know of that carries Cigar City Jail Alai IPA on Draft in the Area

Tapas is basically appetizers and small plates, it's not meant to be a meal.

The most expensive thing on the menu is $16 - and it's meant to be shared.

I was hoping for a few more substantial "food" items, but this is still far better than previously offered there. We were all starving and fighting over the 5 almonds on the midget cheese tray.

A typical Fire appetizer is a meal for me - they don't skimp.
