Fodor's Review:

A big open window looking into the kitchen—where chef María Luisa Esparducer and her staff proudly show off their trade—is the first thing you encounter as you're shown to your table in this homey, upscale Catalan restaurant. The place is eclectic, with wood floors, arresting artwork, soft lighting, and flamenco music in the background. Start the meal with gazpacho or eggplant pâté, accompanied by a glass of top Spanish wine. The excellent main dishes include rosemary lamb chops, suckling pig, and rabbit in white wine sauce with truffles. Finish with a platter of nuts, dates, and figs drizzled with a wine sauce or the decadent crema catalana with a brûlée glaze. Though Cocina de Terra Nostra is wonderfully elegant, we give Casa Luisa the nod in the Spanish-restaurant stakes for its combination of style and coziness.
