Full transparency: I LOVE Cebada... like, LEEETERLY LOVE IT. A friend & I decided to meet for happy hour this past Friday. We arrived early with no reservation & decided to sit at the bar. I immediately ordered one of my favourite cocktails here, "EVERY BELEN GUYS CHRISTMAS VACATION"
(Cucumber + Ginger + Honey + Lemon + Breckenridge Gin) & it was still as perfect as I remember it! Our bartenders, Danny & Gio were great although we never did get the Skinny Spicy Margaritas right (first round had waaaaay too much Triple Sec) and the second was very flat. Not crisp & tart & tequila-forward). As for the food, we first chose the "Wood Roasted Shishito Peppers", "James River Oysters", "Tostones y Caviar" & the "Marinated Olives", all brought out at lightning speed by our delightful waitress, Chanel. Best dish by far were the Tostones!!! What a great play on caviar-topped potato chips & french onion dip. YUM! Least favourite were the peppers. They were all shriveled & flavorless. They were like eating plastic wrapping. Nope! Sent back. While this was FAR from my best dining experience here (they've removed TWO of my favourite dishes from their menu: the amazing Roasted Cauliflower & Roasted Brussels Sprouts-- womp, womp.) it's still one of my top spots. You can't beat the vibe! Great music, great service & great ambience. Like always, ¡Fue tremenda descarga!
