Not to riff on the most recent Philip Seymour Hoffmann (who’s fantastic in virtually everything) flick, but the mention of BAM Theater has become synecdoche for Thomas Beisl for my friends and me.

This Saint Georgian Spaniard will sweep you away with its serene setting, warm lighting and delectable, generously-sized tapas for bite-sized tabs.
