Fodor's Review:

The young and sexy frequent this vibrant Lower East Side restaurant to sample Latin cuisine courtesy of Máximo Tejada, the chef who built his reputation cooking at New York City's popular Pipa and Lucy Latin Kitchen. This bi-level eatery has a dining area, a ceviche bar, and—growing in the center of the restaurant—an olive tree. The menu features small plates with nearly three dozen ceviches and tapas, including the must-have lobster with Uruguayan caviar. If you'd like a predinner drink, arrive early to grab a stool at the first-floor bar and enjoy a standout cocktail, like the pisco made with fresh quince and aloe vera juice.
