| - I've been coming to Tavolo for Latin Night on Saturdays for a few weeks. It is a very different experience compared to the typical (and fabulous) dining you might be used to here. The ground floor is completely cleared and only a limited selection of drinks are available for purchase at the bar--beer, wine, liquor, and basic cocktails in small plastic cups. Cover is $10 and people come for the dancing.
While the music starts at 10p, hardly anyone dances for the first hour. There is a beginners salsa and bachata class at 10:30p. About 15 or so minutes after class is over, people start dancing. The DJ seems to go through cycles. There will be a few salsa songs in a row, a group of bachata songs, several general latin club dancing songs, some merengue, etc. So you don't have to get on/off the floor for one song--there are a few songs then you get tired and have a few songs to rest, regardless of what your dance groove is.
My only wish is that I could do a late dinner here and then transition into the dancing, rather than having to come on separate evenings. I guess you can't have it all... on the same night.
