Small Plates

Sharing food and the passing of plates makes for a lively dining experience. While small plates are most commonly associated with “tapas” from Spain, many different types of cuisine and cultures have their own take on the famous “tapas.” These restaurants feature small plates focused on various cuisines inviting diners to socialize and try many different dishes at a price that adds up to not much more than your average entrée.
