More than 1,000 bottles of wine are placed on the orange wood shelves, and the brown and mustard yellow sofas continue from the stairwell to the lounge, creating a warm atmosphere. Bar chef Jose Garces is keen on Basque-style wines, so he specially selects wines from northern Spain and southern France to pair with his own Spanish dishes, such as trendy Basque snacks Kobe beef jerky and Serrano ham with figs.
