Asador 44 Spanish Grill & Wine House

Proper Spanish charcoal grilling on Quay Street with an obsessive wine list and a kitchen that knows its business.

You're walking down towards the water on Quay Street when you spot the glow from Asador 44 — it's got that Madrid supper club energy without feeling like it's trying too hard. The whole operation revolves around what comes off the wood-fired grill: charred steaks, sweetbreads, whole fish cooked over proper heat. The wine list is genuinely excellent, none of that lazy by-the-glass nonsense; they've clearly thought about what pairs with Spanish grilled meat. Service is sharp without being fussy. It's the kind of place where locals book in for special occasions but nobody would bat an eye if you just rocked up hungry on a Thursday.
