Sangria and tapas are a fun way to go here. I recommend the PorK Cheek miniature tacos (the name does not reflect their delicate tastiness at all!). For dessert, we were pushed towards the Bamba even though I’m a creme brulee aficianado. I’m glad, because it was fantastic–a unique, tasty, tart and sweet mixture of sorbets in a white chocolate shell that has nothing to do with the cheap, waxy white chocolate one finds in Easter bunnies. Again, tastier than the description or name.

For the kid, dog, and parent bashers: There were no kids or dogs there although there were probably some parents in disguise, like us. Given the food’s uniqueness, I would give this a PG–an adventuresome tween or older might enjoy it but your average elementary school child who insists on familiarity in their food would probably not appreciate the creativity and subtleties of the food.

It was packed and our waiter was both thrilled and a little flustered by the fab first night turn-out. He did a great job and we got our drinks, apps, and entrees like clockwork, so whoever is in charge knows what he/she is doing. We also won a bottle of wine! All in all, DELICIOUS mojitos, yummy tapas and free drinks! We’ll be back.

As an aside — the fact that places like this are opening is a primary reason why places like Little Azio, Voila, and Tastings didn’t make it. It’s less about location and much more about the fact that you only have to spend slightly more (or not even compared to Tastings/Voila) to get a 1000X better experience. Some places just know how to do it right.
