Description

Chef Marc Vidal worked at the groundbreaking El Bulli, but Por Fin's cuisine, while of modern sensibility, comes in conventional molecular form. Some is downright comfort food, such as a huge, juicily roasted half-chicken in homespun, morel-laden mushroom sauce. Just about everything here is delicious, much of it offered in patron-friendly half portions - for those Americans who don't get aroused by a plate of food whose weight exceeds that of a Dumpster. A half order of seared lamb ($17) brings a chop that is easily two inches thick, swathed in sumptuous demi-glace, and chaperoned by nutty chanterelle mushrooms. Add a generous side of caesar salad for as rewarding a $21 dinner as you're going to find. Also try "seafood rice," a paellera of clams, mussels, calamari, shrimp, and impeccably al dente Calasparra grains. Beautiful ambiance, professional service, a boisterous bar upstairs - as well as a quiet outdoor dining veranda. Por Fin aptly translates to At Last.
