| - A little off the beaten path (for me anyway), but well worth it. I've had the pleasure of dining at Tapas 51 a handful of times now (including for a special event, their Dia de los Muertes dinner), and each time, it has been consistently fantastic. The service is friendly and attentive and the food is simply amazing. Great presentation as well--you can see the care that goes into each dish.
On our latest visit, my husband and I shared the following: Mooooo (I order this every time because I can't resist), Taco of the Day (NC trout, heaven in a fresh tortilla), brussels sprouts (Chef Aaron will have you daydreaming about brussels sprouts after you try these), shrimp pupusa (which is a thick tortilla stuffed with cheese; what was life like before I discovered these??), and a bottle of wine (half price on Wednesdays, woo!).
A few in our party ordered the butternut squash gnocchi so I stole a bite of that as well--and then I was sad I didn't order it myself.
My advice? Visit often and arrive with an empty stomach and a few friends so you can try as many dishes as possible.
