I was there opening night as well, and agree with this assesment (though I havent been to Amada yet, so I can't compare). I liked the atmosphere of Bar Ferdinand a whole lot; a very snazzy looking bar and the other rooms were quite comfortable. And the service was good, especially considering it was opening night. The food we had was good but not great. Between me and my wife we had six tapas, I dont know that I can remember what they all were: tortilla, mariscos, some sort of asparagus flan, some sort of fried potatos, the cheese plate, and...something else, something with tuna. Everything was good, the tortilla was probably my least favorite, not as good as I've had at tapas places in other cities, and my favorite might been the cheese plate, or the tuna dish that I cant quite remember. Oddly, at least two, and maybe three, of the dishes incorporated the same cream sauce in some small way, and the sauce wasnt especially distinctive. That was probably my biggest complaint, but it wasnt a very big complaint, especially since some of these tapas were only 3 or 4 dollars, and the most expensive was $8 (the cheese plate). Their house white wine was quite good for $2 a glass (a slightly smaller glass); I dont remember what the wine was. And their beer selection looked good too, fairly many on tap and in bottles, and cheap prices, many in the $3-4 range. So yeah, it seems like a nice place to hang out, more than a destination place for dinner, but I'm sure we'll be back.
