Description
This Latin tapas restaurant is known for its desserts, but the nightly happy hour (4:30 to 6 p.m., and all night Tuesday) make it an especially popular spot for the after-work crowd, and the big windows make it a good spot to watch the Cap Hill-climbing foot traffic go by. The tenders mix up good cocktails like pomegranate Margaritas and Greek Sidecars. The menu lists pan-Latin tapas such as green beans sautéed with harissa and crab ceviche with shiitakes. Cold dishes come off more successfully than the up-and-down hot entrées, but no one can resist the lure of El Diablo, a devilish dessert involving chocolate mousse, burnt meringue, caramel tequila sauce, and chiles. While the dining room closes at 10:30, the lounge stays open until midnight (every night) and on Monday nights the cozy, candle-lit booths are that much easier to settle into with a half priced bottle of wine.
