All stone walls, tall tables and cheery staff, this zestful newcomer prides itself on its cocina sencilla (simple cooking), but there's nothing plain about its imaginative Spanish-international creations and modern-rustic setting. Tapas, chalked up on the board, might include ricotta ravioli, curried chicken and sweet-potato fries; mains wander from Argentine chorizo to carrot-and-mozzarella salad with goji-berry vinaigrette.
