Really small plates, it’s mostly a place for drinks and just an appetizer. Small variety of plates. Only 3 options vegetarian and small.

Incredible cocktails & food

It's a little pricey but I love the steak tartar, and all the little bites I've tried. It's a wonderful date night spot. Great for intimate conversations.

Came here by accident when other plans fell apart and loved it. Yes, it is pricey. Sure, the portions are smaller but it’s tapas!

Either way, delicious and beautiful. Nice service too!!

Was very excited to see a tapas restaurant open so close to me and even more excited when I discovered how delicious it is! The mocktail selection is KILLER and changes regularly enough to keep it interesting. As for the food, we typically get almost the entire menu, very easy to split between two folks. Normally, I am very unfond of mushrooms but the hongos are easily one of my favorite dishes on the menu. To finish things up I highly recommend their cheesecake, which isn’t in the traditional style but it’s light and fluffy and freaking delicious!

What a beautiful, sexy, classy restaurant! If you want to feel sexy just stop in and let the vibe take you away ! By far one of my fav spots

I had the Woodfire Hongos
Charred Mediterranean octopus
And the Basque cheese cake ( every bite made me weak )

And the most refreshing drink ive had in a while !!

Everyone at Bar Sur Mer was wonderful. Had great tapas with old friends. And as a bonus Tommy saw my wife. He is my wife's best friends son-in-law and he was working the floor. Making sure we were happy.

Marinated olives & boquerones - nice olives, it's good to see a PNW restaurant that's not afraid of high quality anchovies as a garnish. Yum. Jamon serrano, sea salt potato chips, pimenton cold pressed olive oil - Serrano is a lesser cousin to the real deal Jamon Iberico, and usually is nothing to write home about. With the chips and oil this is actually a tasty little salty appetizer. Solid. Wood fired kobocha squash, blue cheese butter, toasted baguette - This was fine, kind of a vegetarian option on an otherwise carnivorous menu. KOKOTXAS en persillade, pastis, lemon, olive oil, garlic, sea salt, parsley - HOLY COW, this is unbelievable. You can't really buy Kokotxas in the USA. These are little fig sized muscles that come in pairs and are found on the bottom of a cod's mouth. Like cod or halibut cheeks, these are probably the best part of the fish... firm, buttery, flavorful. Almost more like a scallop than a cod. I bet most of the cod catch in the USA loses the head during processing at sea, or else goes into the bin at the fish monger's. The sauce dipping after the cod is gone is amazing as well. Get this whenever it's on the menu. Amazeballs! San Juan Island Lamb Crepinette, Almond Romesco, Braised Leek, piparra, Sea Salt - kind of a donor-like lamb sausage meatball. Spices (not spicy), flavorful, rich. Delish. Charred mediterranean octopus, ensalada russa, sherry pimenton vinaigrette, herb salad - they call this Mediterranean, but it's more like NW Spain's Pulpo a la Gallega, with paprika and potatoes. Which is fine, whatever. What really matters here is that the octopus is incredibly tender and tasty. So many restaurants will serve tough octopus. Not here. Get this! macrina baguette, whipped confit garlic and chive butter - a nice baguette. Plus thoughtful and tasty NA cocktails. Also... this is in divey GREENWOOD. Not what you'd think of as the home of brilliant dining, but it's my home so I am very glad BSM are here with us!

Very good cocktails with fresh ingredients. Our group of 6 was comfortably seated and enjoyed the atmosphere very much.
