"Venezuelan chef Enrique Limardo’s follow-up to scene-y, tropically appointed Seven Reasons is full of surreal plating and modernist technique. Sturdy staples like a moussaka cigar — with crispy phyllo dough, smoked eggplant, ground lamb, and goat-manchego cream — and fried Spanish octopus with Amazonian chimichurri anchor the rotating Mediterranean-Latin dinner menu. Go a la carte or choose the omakase tasting experience at the chef’s counter (currently 16 to 22 bites) that has a Michelin star. A soaring white bar lined with soft cranberry chairs is also a popular date-night perch." - Tierney Plumb, Stephanie Carter
