At Eel Bar, that philosophy feels focused and refined. The interior alone makes a strong impression: dark-stained wood, mirrors, low lighting — restrained, European, and confident. It’s especially enjoyable to build a meal from pintxos and tapas, ideally seated at the U-shaped bar. The menu is concise, with standouts like the classic Gilda ($4) — olives, anchovies, and pickled chili on a skewer, named after the 1946 Rita Hayworth film. The spicy mussels are another highlight:...
My friends and I loved it. Food was good, place is calming but cool, and great service (a group came in directly from the airport and I saw a server carry all of their things to the back). Also even if the cheesecake isn’t on the menu they may have it available, and it’s great.

The service is quick. We ordered appetizers and cocktails & we were in and out in an hour.
All the reviews prior said to order the fried oysters. They were a little on the oily side but obviously tasted great.
