Five Points Restaurant
The butternut squash cappellacci was very satisfying and had many more ingredients (vegetables, potatoes etc.) than I had expected. The chicken was flavorful and almost perfectly cooked. Our waiter was friendly and the atmosphere was nice. I enjoyed the experience, but it was nothing I would come back for.

Perfection. The tuna tartare with heirloom tomatoes was presented beautifully and melted in my mouth. The lamb sausage with mashed potatoes (they gave it a fancier name) was flavorful and insanely juicy. And all three of the desserts were fresh and summery. Our waitress and wine were also wonderful. An incredible experience. If you can still get reservations for restaurant week, you must go! $25 for such a quality meal and service rarely comes around.

Cozy and vibrant tapas restaurant with beautiful, antique looking decor (great for the winter time). Extensive menu...everything we had was wonderful. Great service as well.

Amazing steak. Terrible service. And you have to go through the kitchen to get to the back patio...weird

Rosa Mexicano
Just got back from dinner here for restaurant week. The margarita "clasica" lived up to my standards, but the food wasn't very inventive. The tortilla soup was presented nicely (the ingredients come served in the bowl and then the waiter pours the broth in), and although it was tasty, the proportions were off (too much broth and not enough of the good stuff). The salmon was good, but did not blend well with the thick texture of the pureé of black beans. The flan was excellent, however, and left a flavorful taste in my mouth. The service was subpar....our waiter never once checked on us, and I don't even remember him ever speaking to us. All in all, very fun and hip restaurant with an energetic atmosphere. I would recomend going for drinks and the guacamole (which i did not try, but looked amazing) with friends instead of going for dinner.
