ABOUT: Modesto Restaurant, 5257 Shaw Avenue (corner of Shaw and Edwards)
Founded by Brendan Marsden and Julie Block, Modesto is an original restaurant concept. Together with Chef Grace Dinsmoor, they have composed a menu that offers both traditional Spanish dishes, such as Gambas al Ajillo and Paella Mixta, as well as updated versions of popular Spanish dishes, such as Arroz Negro and Zarzuela de Mariscos. From the wines, to the cheeses, to the olive oil, everything is exclusively Spanish.

Tapas are a time-honored and cherished part of Spanish cuisine. The tapa (from the verb tapar – to cover) originally was a slice of bread or cured ham placed over the mouth of a wine glass. In Spain, tapas are much more than a culinary delight – they represent a lifestyle – an opportunity to share good times with friends in a carefree manner.
