| - It was my first time trying ceviche so, it could be like Beatles, Sgt Peppers being your first album. But if you do not love this place you are missing a key part of your "foodie" DNA. This restaurant is the answer to every time you've said "I wish I could try 5 plates". Tapas is small plates of each. Needless to say, when I got back to NY, I looked up a ceviche place within 24 hours.
If you are going once I'd recommend trying the ceviche, piggy back dates in goat cheese mouse, shrimp in chicharran sauce, short ribs and save room for homemade churros or that chocolate kiss with sea salt and chipotle sauce (?!?!?)
- Hamachi ceviche - for those rookies like me....this is like sashimi/fish "cooked" in citrus by the acid. I've never had pickled hot peppers but its like sweet hot tangy awesomeness. (is it obvious I'm not a professional reviewer?)
Shrimp in chicharran sauce - crispy shrimp (they use 3 flours) with a little bit of pop.
Short ribs -- one large short rib in guava glaze. Its probably the best bbq sauce with rich, slightly tangy, but smooth flavor. The meat was fall off the bone tender.
Piggy back dates -- a must have. dates wrapped in bacon with an almond inside for some pop and then in a bed of white mousse. Come on! I could eat these on the coach all day. Best dish. A must have.
- Mojitos - I have to admit I didn't have but was with 10 people and the mixed drinks and variations on the mojito shocked people. "Not as sweet" as most.
Lastly, service was perfect as you'd expect the timing for each dish to be difficult.
I want to sit outside next time but it was packed so that wasn't possible but they seem to have the best view in town square.
Gun to my head I'd say I didn't like the chicken skewers but it turned out they were missing the rum glaze so that was the reason.
I think what I loved most was just the variations on every dish. Yes they have corn dogs but they have chorizo. Yes the have mac and cheese but its has habanero in it. Piggy back dates with almonds and white mousse? Can you picture what that taste like? There's something for everyone here. Ceviche, mac and cheese, shrimp, pickled jalapenos, bread pudding. Not joking this place reminded me of dishes at Nobu and as I said to a friend, "I'm not just saying this, but this might be the best meal I ever had" I felt like I was trying to find something I didn't find mindblowing to seem credible when I told friends about it. I was asking locals at the malls if they had been. I'll wait for Cana NYC to open up.
