Description

Ventana is tasty, but it might be too avant-garde, like a robot programmed to crucify itself on the hood of a VW Beetle. Still, I enjoyed everything I ate. Imagine a bunch of midgets on ecstasy, running around and dancing and happily having midget sex with one another. That's what the salmon sashimi was like, except on your tongue. The fried rosemary bread was heavy as fuck, but so is Black Sabbath and you don't hear me complaining about that. The short ribs blew the fuck out of my mind--they were piled up in an artful heap, doused in a pomegranate sauce and punctuated with coca nibs. Ventana is a real head- scratcher (just like your mom), but I like it.
