"When a place is “good for everyone,” that can be code for “boring”. But that’s not the case with Bienmesabe, a Venezuelan restaurant with a long menu that pretty much guarantees everyone will find something they’ll like. This upbeat BYOB specializes in arepas (like roasted pork with gouda, or sweet plantains with avocado), along with steak and seafood dishes. Plus the patio lets you enjoy a tree-lined street without having to move out to the suburbs." - josh barnett, sam faye, adrian kane
