"“Blend” is an appropriate moniker for this newer, Latin-leaning addition to the neighborhood, which incorporates influences from everywhere from Venezuela to Spain and France. Coffee and wine both get a lot of attention here, and the spacious backyard patio is particularly appealing. Look for dishes like a saucy fideua spiked with octopus and mussels, tiny arepitas, and a hay-smoked pork chop." - Missy Frederick
