    Description
    Live music serenades booths of flirty diners at this low-lit spot, a justified scene. The tapas are consistently tasty, with a zingy tuna ceviche leading the way. Tuck into chayote salad with lime dressing, chicken roasted in a banana leaf, Brazilian pork stew or grilled seafood on greens.Service runs hot and cold, but great attention is paid to preparing entrées, such as tender chicken seasoned with tarragon and baked in a banana leaf. The cocktails are fruity and well-mixed—and perhaps the real reason to come.
