OSA offers a single tasting menu, with long (20-22 dishes) and short (14-15 dishes)versions in a small 2-story house.  Chefs Jorge Muñoz and Sara Peral, who both previously worked at Mugaritz, are the drivers of this seasonal menu with French and Japanese influences.  The two dining rooms on the main floor can accommodate up to 20 guests at 5 tables.  The large open kitchen is also on this floor and shines with much stainless steel and marble.  There is a terrace upstairs and a small room with a fireplace that looks into the large glassed wine cellar and cabinet of pickling/preserving products.  We started our long tasting up there with a tour of the wine cellar and our first 4 charcuterie snacks with a glass of Spanish cava.  They had a fire going and it was fun to explore all the projects waiting to made into dishes for our plates.  In the dining room the large tables were covered with white cloths and adorned with vases of orchid blooms.   Different music was downstairs than upstairs but the lighting was brighter – possibly due to overhead spots and light walls.  The meal was a long one but the service was exceptional and the pacing great, however some of the courses need to be scaled down and we asked that to happen about 2/3 into the tasting.  The food and menu are creative and tasty making it an experience I’d recommend for any adventurous eaters.
