Bellota Concha is a Spanish style restaurant specializing in seafood fresh from the market. Mewby and I ate there once last year and enjoyed it, so I thought it would be a nice spot to celebrate our anniversary. They have two floors, so if you are upstairs you get one of these funky bells to call for service.
