"This new Spanish restaurant opened in May with a lot more fanfare than the typical hotel restaurant. A collaboration between James Beard Award nominee Oscar Amador and the 1 Hotel, La Loba serves large plates but is probably best approached as a tapas place. The small plates here include treats like a strawberry gazpacho served in a shot glass with horseradish cream — a sweet-spicy combination that leaves you refreshed — and dry-aged carpaccio stretched over a goat cheese–filled bread puff, a salty, umami flavor bomb. There’s also lots of flashy dishes, like the seafood platter for two (it’s almost enough for three) or the beef tartare with bone marrow, prepared tableside." - Harry Cheadle
