"There are closer restaurants to Climate Pledge, but none are like this Afro-Latin spot in Belltown that feels as electric as a night out at a luxe resort. Come with a big group and order a smattering of dishes, like braised beef wrapped in empanada pastry flakier than a third-tier friend and the char-marked bavette that could feasibly sneak in undetected at Seattle’s best steakhouses. Or sit at the bar for a quick clarified piña colada and a Happy Hour burger, if you’re running a little late to the game. The palm-packed place is so much fun, you may not even mind missing the first period." - gabe guarente, aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
