Chef Johnny Curiel started off in his family’s restaurant in Guadalajara, and after years of high-end culinary experience, he revisits dishes and flavors from his upbringing with creativity and finely honed technique delivering results that are both satisfying and delicious. Resist the temptation to fixate on any one item, as the menu is littered with treasures. Think beautifully roasted scallops blessed with tomato butter and serrano ponzu or an agave-roasted sweet potato with nutty salsa matcha and luxuriously creamy whipped requesón. Vibrant seafood preparations like hamachi with roasted pineapple puree are downright electric. There are no desserts on offer, so there’s no reason to hold back on that extra dish or another finely mixed cocktail.
