Felipe Donnelly and Chef/co-owner Tamy Rofe have resurrected their much loved SoHo spot, now at the Freehand Hotel. This iteration is wooing patrons with its warm interior and tempting dishes blending Latin American influences from Brazil to Mexico.
Kick things off with a zesty-delicious trout ceviche tostada, vibrant thanks to leche de tigre marinade. Next, wild mushroom al ajillo tacos deliver an earthy umami cut with the spice of habanero ash. Even the tortillas are far from standard, imparting a simple but satisfying corn flavor. Tender bone-in achiote chicken over green Calasparra rice with brown butter mustard is lush, creamy and packed with flavor.
Call it a day with the appropriately named "insanely good" espresso martini.
