"This Spanish-style market and restaurant checks a lot of boxes: good drinks, interesting plating, and a fun room with exposed brick and high ceilings that you’re going to want to hang out with friends in. Get the potato-crusted octopus, and the crisp, beef fat fries, both presented upright in mini paper bags. Most things lean meaty, like pressed cuban sandwiches or a reuben made with corned beef tongue, but there are two good salads if you’re looking for a vegetarian option (or just a break from salt-cured mammals). The best seats are tables in the back, near the open kitchen, so you can see and smell everything being made. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - kristine hansen
