Best Authentic Restaurants in Uptown

Exceptional restaurant. Service at all levels was outstanding. Ambiance was superb - welcoming feeling, tables nicely spaced, noise level tuned to just right, lighting excellent. Menu was nicely limited with an excellent range of foods for every course. Wine list almost intimidating, but there were good choices at all price levels. We enjoyed a nice Super Tuscan. The food was superb, with every item on the plate prepared beautifully and presented with care. This is a special place.

Man, such deep flavors! We had the ceviche - so unique with a coconut cream base topped with cilantro and chile oils, the Tamal Oaxaqueno, the Hoja de Santo wrapped queso, and the pork belly. Everything was prepared excellently and each sauce and flavor palette interesting, complex and delightful! The fresh Tamal and tortillas were light and delicious!! Also, our server, Sara, was fun, attentive and informative. Can’t wait to go back and try more dishes, as they are all unique and beg to be tasted!

Food was absolutely delicious. The Mac and cheese is divine. Gnocchi with shrimp and oea purée, calamari was the best we have ever has including many coastal restaurants , short rib tacos, pear Gorgonzola pillows all so tasty. Very good service by everyone. Atmosphere is festive but not too loud or frenetic.

Amazing experience! Started with the prosciutto, a pinot grigio, and had the tagliatelle, followed by the torta. It was all so wonderful! HIGHLY recommend the tagliatelle!! I sat at the bar, where Caesar waited on me, and he was exceptional. Highly attentive but not over-bearing; he was personable and friendly. I loved the ambiance as well. It should also be said, Caesar went above and beyond, and is an expert in his craft! Make a reservation, and you will not be disappointed.

Loved the restaurant, the staff, the food. Will definitely plan to go again!
