"This Uruguayan restaurant, which has a sleek, sexy dining room, actually makes dinner conversations possible. There are dedicated quiet hours on Sundays for lunch and dinner, when music is played really softly and guests are encouraged to have low-level conversations. We usually kick things off by ordering bread and housemade butter for the table, followed by the hamachi crudo, a meticulously crafted combination of grapefruit, tarragon, olive oil, and calabrian chili. This is the kind of place where you’re better off trying a little bit of everything, though the steak—dripping in a delectable onion jus—steals the show. Save room for bread pudding, paired perfectly with apple, crème anglaise, and chocolate. If it’s available, try to sit in by the big bay window overlooking 18th Street." - omnia saed, mekita rivas
