Sometimes it's the uniqueness of desserts alone that make a restaurant stand out...which is why I was thrilled to find Vatra had included S'mores on their menu! The classic childhood favorite included melted dark chocolate and each ingredient was served separately making for a wonderful presentation.
I had met a friend for happy hour, so we didn't try a main course but rather split the Jerk Wings and Jicama Salad. LOVED the Jicama Salad!!! I would definitely order that every time...it was fresh 'sticks' of jicama tossed with cucumber, grilled white corn, red onions and a cilantro-lime dressing then topped with chili coated candied mango.
The Jerk Wings were very well seasoned and had amazing flavor...served with a mango chutney. Although honestly I prefer Teakwoods wings with a cheap pitcher of beer - but these were definately a classy alternative.
The decor is nice and simple. Very open feeling and clean/contemporary look. i tried quite a few of their signature cocktails and my favorite was The Original Purple which was Finlandia Wildberry and Chambord. A runner up favorite was the Sunflower with Grey Goose Poire & Amaretto DiSaronno.
i love the location, it's very conveniently located on my commute home and parking was valet/complimentary (of course, tipping is proper). I'll definitely be back for a full course meal!
