"Felipe Donnelly and Chef/co-owner Tamy Rofe have resurrected their much loved SoHo spot, now at the Freehand Hotel. This iteration is wooing patrons with its warm interior and tempting dishes blending Latin American influences from Brazil to Mexico.Kick things off with a zesty-delicious trout ceviche tostada, vibrant thanks to leche de tigre marinade. Next, wild mushroom al ajillo tacos deliver an earthy umami cut with the spice of habanero ash. Even the tortillas are far from standard, imparting a simple but satisfying corn flavor. Tender bone-in achiote chicken over green Calasparra rice with brown butter mustard is lush, creamy and packed with flavor.Call it a day with the appropriately named "insanely good" espresso martini." - Michelin Inspector
"When: Monday-Friday, 4-6pm The Deal: $12-13 Cocktails; $18 Wine Carafes; $10 Wine; $5-11 Small Plates; $3.50 Grilled Oysters The outdoor setup at this Flatiron restaurant from the Colonia Verde team makes you feel like you’re at a resort. There’s a pergola, rugs, and no matter where you sit, you’ll be surrounded by big potted plants. If your Happy Hour turns into dinner, don’t miss the lamb sliders and wild mushroom tacos from their Latin American menu." - Team Infatuation
"Comodo is a bit of an outlier. It’s a hotel restaurant that actually serves interesting food, and it’s also a cool place that isn’t impossible to get into. You can get a table here tonight, and you can just tell your clients that it was hard to do so. Located in the bottom of the Freehand Hotel in Flatiron, this restaurant serves an inventive Latin American menu with everything from pão de queijo lamb sliders to poblano pepper pasta. The dining room has big windows, tiled walls, and lots of dark wood, and, despite the 70-seat size, feels pretty intimate." - Team Infatuation

"Comodo, Tamy Rofe and chef Felipe Donnelly’s new Latin-American restaurant at the Freehand hotel in Gramercy, is the rare chic full-service spot to serve one of the world’s great sandwiches: the pambazo. The restaurant charges $25 for this de facto appetizer during weekend brunch, which comes to $32 after tax and tip. A pambazo, by contrast, often functions more as a snack than a proper meal, and such is the case here at Comodo. For those who visit Comodo during brunch, the carnitas tacos ($17) are a better option. They’re tasty in a fairly straightforward way; piles of tender, coffee-rubbed pork on paper-thin corn tortillas. That said, I’m rating Comodo’s $25 weekend pambazo a SELL." - Ryan Sutton
