Modesto Tapas Bar & Restaurant Description:
Tapas, mezes and small plates may seem ubiquitous, but Modesto continues to reign in regal Spanish style over the trend it helped popularize. While there are a few entrĂ©es, including paella, the emphasis is on tapas using authentic ingredients---Serrano ham, Manchego cheese, Arbequina olive oil---and preparation styles from across Spain. Servers understand the menu, and they've mastered the pace of cyclical ordering and serving to ensure tapas-style dining is fun. A lengthy happy hour menu with prices from a quarter (for, say, a slice of chorizo) to a buck (for a Cabrales-stuffed date wrapped in bacon) makes Tuesday a popular night at the bar. The all-Spanish wine list offers interesting possibilities, as do the creatively conceived cocktails; mild sangrĂa (which is to say, it won't knock your socks off) is available by the glass or pitcher.
