Review
Guests at Dali are treated to the top Tapas in the area. The restaurant is adorned in out-of-the-ordinary decor, the dining room is lit by candles, and diners are treated to exotic Latin music, creating a very unique and romantic atmosphere. The menu specializes in Spanish Tapas, which are small plates that are meant to be share amongst the table. Several Tapas options are available, from inventive to traditional. I have tried nearly every item on the menu, and my personal favorites include Gambas con Gabardina (Saffron-Batter Fried Shrimp with Mojo Sauce), Chorizo a la Plancha, (Grilled Spanish Sausage), and Chipirones Rellenos (Stuffed Squid in its own Ink). Nearly every item is a treat, and the Sangria is not to be missed. Service is as friendly as it comes, creating a very lively and festive ambiance. Price is quite the value in my opinion, as each plate ranges from $5 - $8 (guests typically order 2 or 3 plates each). If you don't get there early, expect a long wait on weekends as Dali doesn't generally take reservations. Grab a pitcher of Sangria at the bar and soak in the atmosphere - its well worth the wait. -Mike
