Came here for a work dinner while I was staying in downtown Philly for the night.

1. EL JEFE MOJITO 12
10 Cane, lime, mint, sugar, bitters
~Really good. Just wished there was more of it.

2. CEVICHE TASTING (Three), 28
SEA SCALLOP 16
celeriac leche de tigre, pomegranate, elderflower & hazelnuts
THAI MIXTO 16
crab, shrimp, octopus & fluke with coconut leche de tigre & mango
YELLOWTAIL KINGFISH 16
razor clam & octopus salpicon, chive & puffed quinoa
~Pretty good, although none of them particularly stood out.

3. EMPANADA DE VERDE 14
spinach, manchego & artichoke escabeche
~Pretty good.

4. VACA FRITA 28.5
pan seared skirt steak, black beans, white rice & tomato escabeche
~Disappointing. Wasn't a big fan of the twice-cooked steak, and the remaining ingredients didn't taste much better than those at a regular Mexican diner.

5. CILANTRO HONEY MUSTARD GLAZED SALMON 26
banana, lentil salad & fresh horseradish cream
~Pretty good. Salmon was cooked perfectly.

6. Vanilla Flan
vanilla bean custard, candied charry puree, almond praline and red fruits
~Pretty good, although I've got a weakness for fresh red fruits and vanilla flans.

7. Roasted Strawberry Crepes
dulce de leche, lime jelly, vanilla rum ice cream and black pepper meringue
~Okay.

8. Chocolate Cigar
Award winning almond cake wrapped in chocolate mousse, dusted with chocolate and served with dulce de leche ice cream
~Pretty good. Chocolate was quite rich, but the balance was really good.

Service was okay. My water ran out at least once.

Food:

Food was great! Not your typical Cuban meal but delicious. More of a French and Cuban fusion. Our waitress was fantastic and extremely caring and attentive. She gave great suggestions on food too! It was our second anniversary for this meal and the restaurant really out did themselves. Thank you for a wonderful time and memory.

Food:

Our entire meal was fantastic. Everyone in our party agreed that the mojitos were fantastic, and the appetizer sampler was delicious. All of the main courses were presented beautifully, and the food was wonderful. I also really like the multilevel layout of the restaurant, although finding the men's room was a little tricky.

Food:

Really fancy place. Précis too. Someone who doesn't understand good food, this is in the place for me. But it tasted good
