"Barra Santos in Cypress Park started as a walk-in-only establishment, and although you can now make reservations at this Portuguese tapas spot, it's still extremely accommodating to spontaneous diners. The best seats in the house are the handsome wooden bar (ideal for pairs), but the curbside patio is also fun and better for large groups. Turnover tends to be quick here, so worst-case you’ll have to wait a few minutes on Barra Santos’ buzzy sidewalk with a glass of vermouth before a seat opens up." - sylvio martins, brant cox, garrett snyder, cathy park
