This was nearly twice the price of a lot of our other dinners - but in retrospect that just meant closer to what I expect at an american restaurant. I think it was totally worth it.
The highlight of this place was the service. After a day at the zoo, not all dressed up, towing 4 kids under 7 and 6 adults, with only 1 fluent spanish speaker, 1 getting fluent speaker, and the rest of us learning - we were not the normal cliental of this upscale neighborhood joint. The waiter clearly did not like us... but despite that, the service was impeccable, which makes me like the place even more.
Of all the kids meals we had over the trip, my son's was the best. It was an off menu request: Vegetable Risotto with chicken. His risotto was the best I'd ever had, and for a kid who previously would refuse to eat risotto he ate almost all of it - which despite being billed as a "half order" it was a generous serving.
I will mention: My shrimp risotto, while tasty, either needed bigger shrimp or some vegetable with a crunch. As a meal, it felt one note... but everything else on the table was wonderful. The ceviche was incredible. My sister in law got the eel and raved about it, but sadly I didn't get to try it.
Great ambience, plenty of on street parking around the block - would absolutely recommend. read more
