She came to our table twice. the second time he came to our table again just to take the tissue at the table in front of us.

Read moreThey carry a great selection of high end wines and cheeses. They also have a nice set up of about a dozen food stands. Juan working at the liquors department is the best and he was incredibly helpful with finding rare Japanese whiskys. They also carry some super high end jamon, at about 200 euros a kilo, but this stuff is righteous, with its beautiful fat marbling and its melty texture and its funky...
