Post subject:  Olio has great Spanish food!

Plan on dropping 20 to 40 a person but this place is fantastic. Very European in terms of cuisine, style, decoration and service. excellent service though, they are very attentive and pleasant. i believe they are bilingual but i do not know as i spoke to them in spanish only.

the tapas range from traditional (queso manchego, salmon croquettes, gambas al ajillo, etc) to unique (camarones a la vasca, and an excellent atun dish).

they have a nice selection of beer, including a couple of imports from belgium i would recommend most highly (particularly forbidden fruit ... how appropos). i did not have desert, only a delicious sampling of cheeses and an atun dish, but they looked excellent as many other ordered them.

i would recommend this place pretty highly. it is a quick shot from the center or barrio amon, $2 tops. i would make reservations in the evening. check it out and thank me later. VIVA ESPANA!

Brother WtS--Using "vernacular" in one post and "apropos" in another? Welcome to the Well-Spoken Sub-Brotherhood of CRT. No joke. We're few but we're proud. And if somebody doesn't pick up the meaning from the context--that's why www.dictionary.com exists--it's a wonderful resource including their Spanish word of the day with useages.

Is that in the parlance of our subculture?
